[1:24]  ³ sn The text does not state why Elizabeth withdrew into seclusion, nor is the reason entirely clear.

[1:24]  ⁴ tn Grk “she kept herself in seclusion, saying.” The participle λέγουσα (legousa) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[2:28]  ⁵ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Simeon) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[2:28]  ⁶ tn Grk “and said.” The finite verb in Greek has been replaced with a participle in English to improve the smoothness of the translation.

[4:5]  ⁹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[4:5]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “he.”

[4:5]  ¹¹ tc Most mss (א¹ A [D W] Θ Ψ 0102 Ë^1,[13] 33 700 2542 Ï it) refer to Jesus being taken up “to a high mountain” (with many of these also explicitly adding “the devil”) here in parallel with Matt 4:8, but both scribal harmonization to that text and the pedigree of the witnesses for the shorter reading (א* B L 1241 pc) is the reason it should be omitted from Luke.

[4:5]  ¹² tn “A high place” is not in the Greek text but has been supplied for clarity.

[7:1]  ¹³ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[10:10]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “whatever town you enter,” but this is more often expressed in English as “whenever you enter a town.”

[10:10]  ¹⁸ tn Or “city.”

[10:10]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “and they”; the referent (the people who live in the town) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[10:10]  ²⁰ sn More discussion takes place concerning rejection (the people do not welcome you), as these verses lead into the condemnation of certain towns for their rejection of God’s kingdom.

[10:10]  ²¹ tn The term πλατεῖα (plateia) refers to the “broad street,” so this refers to the main roads of the town.

[14:7]  ²¹ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[20:47]  ²⁵ tn Grk “who,” continuing the sentence begun in v. 46.

[20:47]  ²⁶ sn How they were able to devour widows’ houses is debated. Did they seek too much for contributions, or take too high a commission for their work, or take homes after debts failed to be paid? There is too little said here to be sure.

[20:47]  ²⁷ tn Grk “houses,” “households”; however, the term can have the force of “property” or “possessions” as well (O. Michel, TDNT 5:131; BDAG 695 s.v. οἶκια 1.a).

[21:28]  ²⁹ sn These things are all the events of vv. 8-27. Disciples represent the righteous here. The events surrounding the fall of the nation are a down payment on a fuller judgment to come on all humanity. The presence of one guarantees the other.
