[12:4]  ² sn Judaism had a similar exhortation in 4 Macc 13:14-15.

[17:37]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[17:37]  ⁴ tn Grk “they”; the referent (the disciples, v. 22) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[17:37]  ⁵ tn Grk “answering, they said to him.” This is redundant in contemporary English and has been simplified in the translation.

[17:37]  ⁶ sn The question “Where, Lord?” means, “Where will the judgment take place?”

[17:37]  ⁷ tn Or “corpse.”

[17:37]  ⁸ tn The same Greek term can refer to “eagles” or “vultures” (L&N 4.42; BDAG 22 s.v. ἀετός), but in this context it must mean vultures, because the gruesome image is one of dead bodies being consumed by scavengers.

[17:37]  ⁹ tn Grk “will be gathered.” The passive construction has been translated as an active one in English.

[23:55]  ⁵ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[23:55]  ⁶ tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
