¹ sn See the note on King Herod in 2:1.

² sn A quotation from Hos 11:1.

³ tn Grk “And he.”

⁴ sn Unclean spirits refers to evil spirits.

⁵ tn Grk “and every [kind of] sickness.” Here “every” was not repeated in the translation for stylistic reasons.

⁵ tn Grk “But what.” Here ἀλλά (alla, a strong contrastive in Greek) produces a somewhat awkward sense in English, and has not been translated. The same situation occurs at the beginning of v. 9.

⁶ sn The reference to fancy clothes makes the point that John was not rich or powerful, in that he did not come from the wealthy classes.

⁷ tn Or “palaces.”

⁷ sn See the note on Pharisees in 3:7.

⁸ tn Grk “except by Beelzebul.”

⁹ tn Or “prince.”

⁹ sn The term landowner here refers to the owner and manager of a household.

¹¹ tn Grk “And behold one.” The Greek word ἰδού (idou) has not been translated because it has no exact English equivalent here, but adds interest and emphasis (BDAG 468 s.v. 1).

¹² tn Grk “extending his hand, drew out his sword, and struck.” Because rapid motion is implied in the circumstances, the translation “grabbed” was used.

¹³ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

¹⁴ tn The words “slave girl” are not in the Greek text, but are implied by the feminine singular form ἄλλη (allh).
