[3:25]  1 tc Was this dispute between the Baptist’s disciples and an individual Judean (᾿Ιουδαίου, Ioudaiou) or representatives of the Jewish authorities (᾿Ιουδαίων, Ioudaiwn)? There is good external support for the plural ᾿Ιουδαίων (Ì66 א* Θ Ë1,13 565 al latt), but the external evidence for the singular ᾿Ιουδαίου is slightly stronger ({Ì75 א2 A B L Ψ 33 1241 the majority of Byzantine minuscules and others}).

[3:25]  2 tn Or “ceremonial cleansing,” or “purification.”

[3:26]  3 tn “River” is not in the Greek text but is supplied for clarity.

[3:16]  4 tn Or “fear” (so NAB); NRSV “revered”; NCV “honored.”

[3:16]  5 tn Heb “heard and listened”; NAB “listened attentively.”

[3:16]  6 sn The scroll mentioned here is a “memory book” (סֵפֶר זִכָּרוֹן, sefer zikkaron) in which the Lord keeps an ongoing record of the names of all the redeemed (see Exod 32:32; Isa 4:3; Dan 12:1; Rev 20:12-15).
