[1:6]  ¹ tn Grk “And they.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here.

[9:14]  ¹² tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.
