[1:13]  ¹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the king) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[1:13]  ² tn Heb “went up and approached and kneeled.”

[1:14]  ³ tn Heb “look.”

[1:14]  ⁴ tn Heb “their fifty.”

[2:37]  ⁵ tn The word “this” is not in the Greek text. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek, but must be supplied for the modern English reader.

[2:37]  ⁶ tn Grk “they were pierced to the heart” (an idiom for acute emotional distress).

[16:29]  ⁷ tn Grk “he”; the referent (the jailer) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[16:29]  ⁸ tn Or “and prostrated himself.”

[16:30]  ⁹ tn Grk “And bringing them outside, he asked.” The participle προαγαγών (proagagwn) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style. Because of the length of the Greek sentence, the conjunction καί (kai) has not been translated here. Instead a new English sentence is begun by supplying the conjunction “then” to indicate the logical sequence.

[16:30]  ¹⁰ tn The Greek term (δεῖ, dei) is used by Luke to represent divine necessity.

[11:13]  ¹¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[11:13]  ¹² tn Grk “seven thousand names of men.”
