[10:3]  ¹ tn Grk “Behold I.” The Greek word ἰδού (idou) has not been translated because it has no exact English equivalent here, but adds interest and emphasis (BDAG 468 s.v. 1).

[10:3]  ² sn On the imagery of lambs see Isa 40:11, Ezek 34:11-31, and John 10:1-18.

[10:3]  ³ sn This imagery of wolves is found in intertestamental Judaism as well; see Pss. Sol. 8:23.

[8:7]  ⁴ sn Palestinian weeds like these thorns could grow up to six feet in height and have a major root system.

[8:7]  ⁵ sn That is, crowded out the good plants.

[24:36]  ⁷ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[24:36]  ⁸ tc The words “and said to them, ‘Peace be with you’” are lacking in some Western mss (D it). But the clause is otherwise well attested, being found in Ì⁷⁵ and the rest of the ms tradition, and should be considered an original part of Luke.

[2:46]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “And it happened that after.” 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 not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[2:46]  ¹¹ sn Three days means there was one day out, another day back, and a third day of looking in Jerusalem.

[2:46]  ¹² tn Grk “the temple.”

[2:46]  ¹³ tn This is the only place in Luke’s Gospel where the term διδάσκαλος (didaskalo", “teacher”) is applied to Jews.

[21:21]  ¹³ sn Fleeing to the mountains is a key OT image: Gen 19:17; Judg 6:2; Isa 15:5; Jer 16:16; Zech 14:5.

[21:21]  ¹⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[21:21]  ¹⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[22:27]  ¹⁶ 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]  ¹⁷ tn The interrogative particle used here in the Greek text (οὐχί, ouci) expects a positive reply.

[22:27]  ¹⁸ 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.
