[2:24]  ¹ sn The offering of a pair of doves or two young pigeons, instead of a lamb, speaks of the humble roots of Jesus’ family – they apparently could not afford the expense of a lamb.

[2:24]  ² sn A quotation from Lev 12:8; 5:11 (LXX).

[6:30]  ³ sn Jesus advocates a generosity and a desire to meet those in dire need with the command give to everyone who asks you. This may allude to begging; giving alms was viewed highly in the ancient world (Matt 6:1-4; Deut 15:7-11).

[6:30]  ⁴ tn Grk “your things,” sometimes translated “what is yours” or “what belongs to you.”

[6:30]  ⁵ sn Do not ask for your possessions back… is an example of showing forgiveness. Paul’s remarks in 1 Cor 6:7 may reflect this principle.

[7:15]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the result of Jesus’ command.

[7:15]  ⁶ tn Or “the deceased.”

[7:15]  ⁷ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[7:15]  ⁸ tn In the context, the verb δίδωμι (didwmi) has been translated “gave back” rather than simply “gave.”

[7:45]  ⁷ tn Grk “no kiss.” This refers to a formalized kiss of greeting, standard in that culture. To convey this to the modern reader, the words “of greeting” have been supplied to qualify what kind of kiss is meant.

[8:55]  ⁹ tn Grk “And her.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[8:55]  ¹⁰ sn In other words, she came back to life; see Acts 20:10.

[8:55]  ¹¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[9:1]  ¹¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[9:1]  ¹² tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[9:1]  ¹³ tn An aorist participle preceding an aorist main verb may indicate either contemporaneous (simultaneous) action (“When he called… he gave”) or antecedent (prior) action (“After he called… he gave”). The participle συγκαλεσάμενος (sunkalesameno") has been translated here as indicating antecedent action.

[9:1]  ¹⁴ tc Some mss add ἀποστόλους (apostolou", “apostles”; א C* L Θ Ψ 070 0291 ˹³ 33 579 892 1241 1424 2542 pc lat) or μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ (maqhta" autou, “his disciples”; C³ al it) here, but such clarifying notes are clearly secondary.

[9:1]  ¹⁵ sn Note how Luke distinguishes between exorcisms (authority over all demons) and diseases here.

[12:32]  ¹³ tn Or perhaps, “your Father chooses.”

[12:51]  ¹⁵ tn Or “hostility.” This term pictures dissension and hostility (BDAG 234 s.v. διαμερισμός).

[15:16]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “And he.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[15:16]  ¹⁸ tn Or “would gladly have eaten”; Grk “was longing to be filled with.”

[15:16]  ¹⁹ tn This term refers to the edible pods from a carob tree (BDAG 540 s.v. κεράτιον). They were bean-like in nature and were commonly used for fattening pigs, although they were also used for food by poor people (L&N 3.46).

[15:16]  ²⁰ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[16:12]  ¹⁹ tn Or “faithful.”

[16:12]  ²⁰ tn Grk “have not been faithful with what is another’s.”
