[1:44]  ¹ tn Grk “for behold.”

[1:44]  ² tn Grk “when the sound of your greeting [reached] my ears.”

[1:44]  ³ sn On the statement the baby in my womb leaped for joy see both 1:14 and 1:47. This notes a fulfillment of God’s promised word.

[5:4]  ⁴ tn Or “let down.” The verb here is plural, so this is a command to all in the boat, not just Peter.

[8:42]  ⁷ tn This imperfect verb could be understood ingressively: “she was beginning to die” or “was approaching death.”

[8:42]  ⁸ sn Pressed is a very emphatic term – the crowds were pressing in so hard that one could hardly breathe (L&N 19.48).

[15:25]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “And as.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[15:25]  ¹¹ sn This would have been primarily instrumental music, but might include singing as well.

[18:17]  ¹³ tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”

[18:17]  ¹⁴ sn On receive see John 1:12.

[18:17]  ¹⁵ sn The point of the comparison receive the kingdom of God like a child has more to do with a child’s trusting spirit and willingness to be dependent and receive from others than any inherent humility the child might possess.

[18:17]  ¹⁶ tn The negation in Greek used here (οὐ μή, ou mh) is very strong.

[19:29]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “And it happened that when.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated. Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.

[19:29]  ¹⁷ sn The exact location of the village of Bethphage is not known. Most locate it on the southeast side of the Mount of Olives and northwest of Bethany, about 1.5 miles (3 km) east of Jerusalem.

[19:29]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “at the mountain called ‘of Olives.’” This form of reference is awkward in contemporary English, so the more familiar “Mount of Olives” has been used in the translation.

[20:37]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “But that the dead are raised even Moses revealed.”

[20:37]  ²⁰ sn See Exod 3:6. Jesus used a common form of rabbinic citation here to refer to the passage in question.

[20:37]  ²¹ sn A quotation from Exod 3:6.

[22:27]  ²² tn Grk “who reclines at table,” as 1st century middle eastern meals were not eaten while sitting at a table, but while reclining on one’s side on the floor with the head closest to the low table and the feet farthest away.

[22:27]  ²³ tn The interrogative particle used here in the Greek text (οὐχί, ouci) expects a positive reply.

[22:27]  ²⁴ sn Jesus’ example of humble service, as one who serves, shows that the standard for a disciple is different from that of the world. For an example see John 13:1-17.

[22:52]  ²⁵ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[22:52]  ²⁶ tn This title, literally “official of the temple” (στρατηγὸς τοῦ ἱεροῦ, strathgo" tou Jierou), referred to the commander of the Jewish soldiers who guarded and maintained order in the Jerusalem temple. Here, since the term is plural, it has been translated “officers of the temple guard” rather than “commanders of the temple guard,” since the idea of a number of commanders might be confusing to the modern English reader.

[22:52]  ²⁷ tn Or “a revolutionary.” This term can refer to one who stirs up rebellion: BDAG 594 s.v. λῃστής 2 has “revolutionary, insurrectionist, guerrilla” citing evidence from Josephus (J. W. 2.13.2-3 [2.253-254]). However, this usage generally postdates Jesus’ time. It does refer to a figure of violence. Luke uses the same term for the highwaymen who attack the traveler in the parable of the good Samaritan (10:30).

[22:66]  ²⁸ tn Or “and the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 5:21.

[22:66]  ²⁹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[22:66]  ³⁰ tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:66]  ³¹ sn Their council is probably a reference to the Jewish Sanhedrin, the council of seventy leaders.

[23:26]  ³¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[23:26]  ³² sn Jesus was beaten severely with a whip before this (the prelude to crucifixion, known to the Romans as verberatio, mentioned in Matt 27:26; Mark 15:15; John 19:1), so he would have been weak from trauma and loss of blood. Apparently he was unable to bear the cross himself, so Simon was conscripted to help. Cyrene was located in North Africa where Tripoli is today. Nothing more is known about this Simon. Mark 15:21 names him as father of two people apparently known to Mark’s audience.

[23:26]  ³³ tn Or perhaps, “was coming in from his field” outside the city (BDAG 15-16 s.v. ἀγρός 1).

[23:26]  ³⁴ tn Grk “they placed the cross on him to carry behind Jesus.”

[23:55]  ³⁴ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[23:55]  ³⁵ tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
