[10:8]  1 tn Grk “And whatever town you enter,” but this is more often expressed in English as “whenever you enter a town.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[10:8]  2 tn Or “city.” Jesus now speaks of the town as a whole, as he will in vv. 10-12.

[10:8]  3 tn Grk “and they”; the referent (the people who live in the town) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[11:6]  4 tn Grk “has come to me from the road.”

[11:6]  5 sn The background to the statement I have nothing to set before him is that in ancient Middle Eastern culture it was a matter of cultural honor to be a good host to visitors.
