¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then.”

² tn Or “a scribe.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 2:4.

³ sn The statement I will follow you wherever you go is an offer to follow Jesus as a disciple, no matter what the cost.

⁴ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

⁵ tc ‡ Most mss (C L W Θ 0250 Ë^1,13 Ï lat sy mae bo) read αὐτοῦ (autou, “his”) here, but the earliest witnesses, א and B (along with 33 and a few others), lack it. The addition may have been a motivated reading to clarify whose disciples were in view. NA²⁷ includes the pronoun in brackets, indicating doubt as to its authenticity.

⁷ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

⁸ tn Or “city.” But see the sn on “Gadarenes” in 8:28.

¹⁰ tc ‡ The majority of witnesses read ᾿Ιησοῦς (Ihsous, “Jesus”) here, perhaps to clarify the subject. Although only a few Greek mss, along with several versional witnesses (א* D Z^vid 579 1424 pc e k sy^s,c,p sa bo), lack the name of Jesus, the omission does not seem to be either accidental or malicious and is therefore judged to be most likely the original reading. Nevertheless, a decision is difficult. NA²⁷ has the word in brackets, indicating doubts as to its authenticity.

¹¹ tn Here the pronoun ὑμεῖς (Jumeis) is used, making “you” in the translation emphatic.

¹³ tn Grk “he had many possessions.” This term (κτῆμα, kthma) is often used for land as a possession.

¹⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

¹⁹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the angel’s instructions to tell the disciples.
