¹ tn Grk “But answering, his master said to him.” This is somewhat redundant and has been simplified in the translation.

² tn Grk “He”; the referent (the nobleman of v. 12, now a king) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

³ tn Grk “out of your own mouth” (an idiom).

⁴ tn Note the contrast between this slave, described as “wicked,” and the slave in v. 17, described as “good.”

⁵ tn Or “exacting,” “harsh,” “hard.”

⁶ tn Grk “in,” “in connection with.”
