¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

² tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

³ tn Grk “And answering, Jesus said.” This is somewhat redundant and has been simplified in the translation.

⁴ tn Grk “O.” The marker of direct address, ὦ (w), is functionally equivalent to a vocative and is represented in the translation by “you.”

⁵ tn Or “faithless.”

⁶ tn Grk “how long.”

⁷ tn Or “put up with.” See Num 11:12; Isa 46:4.

⁸ sn The pronouns you…you are plural, indicating that Jesus is speaking to a group rather than an individual.

⁴ tn Grk “answer him, saying.” The participle λέγοντες (legontes) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

⁵ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

⁶ sn Because the phrase these things is plural, more than the temple’s destruction is in view. The question may presuppose that such a catastrophe signals the end.

⁶ tn Grk “Then they will answer, saying.” The participle λέγοντες (legontes) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.
