¹tn Grk “they”; the referent (some unnamed people) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

²tn The redundancy in this verse is characteristic of the author’s rougher style.

³tn Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of previous action(s) in the narrative.

⁴tn Grk “his”; the referent (John the Baptist) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁵tn Grk “him.”

⁶tn Grk “a place, Golgotha.” This is an Aramaic name; see John 19:17.

⁷sn The place called Golgotha (which is translated “Place of the Skull”). This location is north and just outside of Jerusalem. The hill on which it is located protruded much like a skull, giving the place its name. The Latin word for the Greek term κρανίον (kranion) is calvaria, from which the English word “Calvary” is derived (cf. Luke 23:33 in the KJV).

⁷tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

⁸tn Grk “to him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁹tn Grk “And answering, he said to them.” The participle ἀποκριθείς (apokriqeis) is redundant, but the phrasing of the sentence was modified slightly to make it clearer in English.

¹⁰tn Grk “O.” The marker of direct address, ὦ (w), is functionally equivalent to a vocative and is represented in the translation by “you.”

¹¹tn Or “faithless.”

¹²tn Grk “how long.”

¹³tn Or “put up with.” See Num 11:12; Isa 46:4.

¹⁴sn The pronouns you…you are plural, indicating that Jesus is speaking to a group rather than an individual.

¹¹tn Grk “him.”

¹²tn Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

¹³tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

¹⁴tn Grk “garments”; but this refers in context to their outer cloaks. The action is like 2 Kgs 9:13.

¹⁵sn See Zech 9:9, a prophecy fulfilled here (cf. Matt 21:5; John 12:15.

¹⁵tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate their response to Jesus’ request for a coin.

¹⁶tn Or “whose likeness.”

¹⁷tn Grk “they said to him.”

¹⁷tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in the final stage of the parable.

¹⁹tn Grk “the village lying before you” (BDAG 530 s.v. κατέναντι 2.b).

²⁰tn Grk “a colt tied there on which no one of men has ever sat.”

²¹tn Grk “Aware of their hypocrisy he said.”

²²tn Here the specific name of the coin was retained in the translation, because not all coins in circulation in Palestine at the time carried the image of Caesar. In other places δηνάριον (dhnarion) has been translated simply as “silver coin” with an explanatory note.
