1 tn Grk “but Jesus, answering, said.” This construction with passive participle and finite verb is pleonastic (redundant) and has been simplified in the translation to “replied to him.”

2 tn Grk “Permit now.”

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

4 tn Or “permitted him.”

5 tc ‡ Most mss read αὐτοῦ (autou, “his”) after “servant.” It is unlikely that the pronoun was accidentally overlooked by such diverse witnesses as א B 0250 0281 Ë1 33 latt. More likely is the probability that Western, Byzantine, and some other scribes added the word for clarification (so C L W Θ 0233 Ë13 Ï sy sa). NA27 has the pronoun in brackets, indicating doubts as to its authenticity.

9 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

10 sn The guards would have been the guards of the chief priests who had accompanied Judas to arrest Jesus.
