¹ tn Grk “and saying, ‘Lord.’” The participle λέγων (legwn) at the beginning of v. 6 is redundant in English and has not been translated.

² tn The Greek term here is παῖς (pais), often used of a slave who was regarded with some degree of affection, possibly a personal servant (Luke 7:7 uses the more common term δοῦλος, doulos). See L&N 87.77.

³ 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 ˹ 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 ˹³ Ï sy sa). NA²⁷ has the pronoun in brackets, indicating doubts as to its authenticity.

⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “Then.”

⁶ tn Or “commanded” (often with the implication of a threat, L&N 33.331).

⁷ tn Grk “But answering, the centurion replied.” The participle ἀποκριθείς (apokriqeis) is redundant and has not been translated.

⁹ tn Grk “Behold my servant.”

¹⁰ tn Grk “in whom my soul is well pleased.”

¹¹ tn Or “and the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 2:4.

¹² tn Grk “crying out in the temple [courts] and saying.” The participle λέγοντας (legontas) is somewhat redundant here in contemporary English and has not been translated.

¹³ sn See the note on King Herod in 2:1. Note the fulfillment of the prophecy given by the angel in 2:13.

¹⁴ tn Or “soldiers.”
