[11:5]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[11:5]  ² tn Grk “Who among you will have a friend and go to him.”

[11:5]  ³ tn Grk “he will go to him.”

[11:5]  ⁴ tn The words “of bread” are not in the Greek text, but are implied by ἄρτους (artou", “loaves”).

[11:22]  ⁵ tn Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[11:22]  ⁶ tn The referent of the expression “a stronger man” is Jesus.

[11:22]  ⁷ tn Grk “stronger man than he attacks.”

[11:22]  ⁸ tn Grk “his”; the referent (the first man mentioned) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
