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

² tn Or “city.” But see the sn on “Gadarenes” in 8:28.

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

⁴ sn What you hear and see. The following activities all paraphrase various OT descriptions of the time of promised salvation: Isa 35:5-6; 26:19; 29:18-19; 61:1. Jesus is answering not by acknowledging a title, but by pointing to the nature of his works, thus indicating the nature of the time.

⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the angel’s instructions to tell the disciples.

⁷ tn Grk “his”; the referent (John) has been specified in the translation for clarity. Here καί (kai) has been translated as “Then.”

⁹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

¹⁰ tn Grk “behold, some of the guard.” 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).

¹¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

¹³ tn Grk “Behold my servant.”

¹⁴ tn Grk “in whom my soul is well pleased.”
