[13:3]  ¹ sn Jesus was stressing that all stand at risk of death, if they do not repent and receive life.

[13:3]  ² tn Or “you will all likewise perish,” but this could be misunderstood to mean that they would perish by the same means as the Galileans. Jesus’ point is that apart from repentance all will perish.

[13:5]  ³ sn Jesus’ point repeats v. 3. The circumstances make no difference. All must deal with the reality of what death means.

[13:5]  ⁴ tn Grk “similarly.”

[14:13]  ⁵ tn This term, δοχή (doch), is a third term for a meal (see v. 12) that could also be translated “banquet, feast.”

[14:13]  ⁶ sn Normally the term means crippled as a result of being maimed or mutilated (L&N 23.177).

[14:13]  ⁷ tn Here “and” has been supplied between the last two elements in the series in keeping with English style.

[14:13]  ⁸ sn This list of needy is like Luke 7:22. See Deut 14:28-29; 16:11-14; 26:11-13.

[12:51]  ⁷ tn Or “hostility.” This term pictures dissension and hostility (BDAG 234 s.v. διαμερισμός).

[16:30]  ⁹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[16:30]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “he”; the referent (the rich man, v. 19) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[16:30]  ¹¹ sn If someone from the dead goes to them. The irony and joy of the story is that what is denied the rich man’s brothers, a word of warning from beyond the grave, is given to the reader of the Gospel in this exchange.

[23:15]  ¹¹ sn With the statement “he has done nothing,” Pilate makes another claim that Jesus is innocent of any crime worthy of death.

[23:15]  ¹² tn Grk “nothing deserving death has been done by him.” The passive construction has been translated as an active one in keeping with contemporary English style.

[8:16]  ¹³ tn The participle ἅψας ({aya") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[8:16]  ¹⁴ sn This is probably an ancient oil burning lamp or perhaps a candlestick. Jesus is comparing revelation to light, particularly the revelation of his ministry; see 1:78-79.

[8:16]  ¹⁵ tn Or “its light,” if the Greek article is translated as a possessive pronoun (for such usage, cf. ExSyn 215).

[11:33]  ¹⁵ tn Or perhaps “in a cellar” (L&N 28.78). The point is that the light of Jesus’ teaching has been put in public view.

[11:33]  ¹⁶ tc The phrase “or under a basket” is lacking in some important and early mss (Ì^45,75 L Γ Ξ 070 ˹ 700* 1241 2542 pc sy^s sa). It is hard to decide in this case, since the inclusion of “or under a basket” is widely attested by some early and decent witnesses, as well as the overwhelming majority of mss (א A B C D W Θ Ψ Ë¹³ Ï latt). The parallel passage in Luke 8:16 does not include “under a basket.” If the phrase “under a basket” were added as a harmonization with Mark 4:21 and Matt 5:15, it is perhaps surprising that scribes did not add the phrase at Luke 8:16 as well. It seems somewhat more likely that a scribe copying Luke would be inclined to harmonize 11:33 with 8:16 by omitting the phrase here. Thus, the words “or under a basket” seem to have the marks of authenticity.

[21:9]  ¹⁷ tn Social and political chaos also precedes the end. This term refers to revolutions (L&N 39.34).

[21:9]  ¹⁸ tn This is not the usual term for fear, but refers to a deep sense of terror and emotional distress (Luke 24:37; BDAG 895 s.v. πτοέω).

[21:9]  ¹⁹ sn The end will not come at once. This remark about timing not only indicates that there will be events before the end, but that some time will also pass before it comes.

[22:26]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “But you are not thus.”

[22:26]  ²⁰ tn Or “the ruler.”

[22:26]  ²¹ sn And the leader like the one who serves. Leadership was not to be a matter of privilege and special status, but of service. All social status is leveled out by these remarks. Jesus himself is the prime example of the servant-leader.

[8:27]  ²¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[8:27]  ²² tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:27]  ²³ tn Grk “stepped out on land.”

[8:27]  ²⁴ tn Or “city.”

[8:27]  ²⁵ tn Grk “who had demons.”

[8:27]  ²⁶ tn Grk “he”; the referent (the demon-possessed man) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:27]  ²⁷ tn Or “in.”

[14:10]  ²³ tn Grk “the one who invited you.”

[14:10]  ²⁴ tn Grk “Go up higher.” This means to move to a more important place.

[17:8]  ²⁵ tn The question includes a Greek particle, οὐχί (ouci), that expects a positive reply. The slave is expected to prepare a meal before eating himself.

[17:8]  ²⁶ tn Grk “he”; the referent has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[17:8]  ²⁷ tn Grk “and gird yourself” (with an apron or towel, in preparation for service).

[17:8]  ²⁸ tn BDAG 423 s.v. ἕως 2.b, “to denote contemporaneousness as long as, while… w. subjunctive… Lk 17:8.”

[17:8]  ²⁹ tn Grk “after these things.”

[18:13]  ²⁷ tn Grk “standing”; the Greek participle has been translated as a finite verb.

[18:13]  ²⁸ tn Grk “even lift up his eyes” (an idiom).

[18:13]  ²⁹ tn The prayer is a humble call for forgiveness. The term for mercy (ἱλάσκομαι, Jilaskomai) is associated with the concept of a request for atonement (BDAG 473-74 s.v. 1; Ps 51:1, 3; 25:11; 34:6, 18).

[18:13]  ³⁰ tn Grk “the sinner.” The tax collector views himself not just as any sinner but as the worst of all sinners. See ExSyn 222-23.

[20:21]  ²⁹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “thus” to indicate the implied result of the plans by the spies.

[20:21]  ³⁰ tn Or “precisely”; Grk “rightly.” Jesus teaches exactly, the straight and narrow.

[20:21]  ³¹ sn Teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Very few comments are as deceitful as this one; they did not really believe this at all. The question was specifically designed to trap Jesus.

[22:53]  ³¹ tn Grk “in the temple.”

[22:53]  ³² tn Grk “lay hands on me.”

[22:53]  ³³ tn Or “your time.”

[22:53]  ³⁴ tn Or “authority,” “domain.”
