[11:48]  ¹ tn Grk “If we let him do thus.”

[11:48]  ² tn Or “holy place”; Grk “our place” (a reference to the temple in Jerusalem).

[16:26]  ³ tn Grk “In that day.”

[16:26]  ⁴ tn Grk “I do not say to you.”

[17:9]  ⁵ tn Grk “I am asking.”

[17:9]  ⁶ tn Grk “I am not asking.”

[17:9]  ⁷ tn Or “because they are yours.”

[19:13]  ⁷ tn Or “the judge’s seat.”

[19:13]  ⁸ sn The precise location of the place called ‘The Stone Pavement’ is still uncertain, although a paved court on the lower level of the Fortress Antonia has been suggested. It is not certain whether it was laid prior to a.d. 135, however.

[19:29]  ¹⁰ sn Hyssop was a small aromatic bush; exact identification of the plant is uncertain. The hyssop used to lift the wet sponge may have been a form of reed (κάλαμος, kalamo", “reed,” is used in Matt 27:48 and Mark 15:36); the biblical name can refer to several different species of plant (at least eighteen different plants have been suggested).
