[15:15]  1 tn Grk “joined himself to” (in this case an idiom for beginning to work for someone).

[15:15]  2 tn Grk “and he.” Here the conjunction καί (kai) and the personal pronoun have been translated by a relative pronoun to improve the English style.

[15:15]  3 sn To a Jew, being sent to the field to feed pigs would be an insult, since pigs were considered unclean animals (Lev 11:7).

[14:10]  4 tn Grk “the one who invited you.”

[14:10]  5 tn Grk “Go up higher.” This means to move to a more important place.
