[1:15]  1 tn Grk “before.”

[1:15]  2 tn Grk “and he”; because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, the conjunction καί (kai) has not been translated here. Instead a new English sentence is begun in the translation.

[1:15]  3 tn Grk “even from his mother’s womb.” While this idiom may be understood to refer to the point of birth (“even from his birth”), Luke 1:41 suggests that here it should be understood to refer to a time before birth.

[2:26]  4 tn Grk “And it.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[2:26]  5 tn The use of the passive suggests a revelation by God, and in the OT the corresponding Hebrew term represented here by κεχρηματισμένον (kecrhmatismenon) indicated some form of direct revelation from God (Jer 25:30; 33:2; Job 40:8).

[2:26]  6 tn Grk “would not see death” (an idiom for dying).

[2:26]  7 tn On the grammar of this temporal clause, see BDF §§383.3; 395.

[2:26]  8 tn Or “Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”
