[2:30]  ¹ sn To see Jesus, the Messiah, is to see God’s salvation.

[2:20]  ² tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the conclusion of the topic.

[2:20]  ³ sn The mention of glorifying and praising God is the second note of praise in this section; see Luke 2:13-14.

[2:20]  ⁴ tn Grk “just as [it] had been spoken to them.” This has been simplified in the English translation by making the prepositional phrase (“to them”) the subject of the passive verb.

[24:24]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[24:24]  ⁴ tn Here the pronoun αὐτόν (auton), referring to Jesus, is in an emphatic position. The one thing they lacked was solid evidence that he was alive.

[9:32]  ⁴ tn Grk “weighed down with sleep” (an idiom).

[9:32]  ⁵ tn Or “after they became fully awake,” “but they became fully awake and saw.”

[19:37]  ⁵ tn Grk “the descent of”; this could refer to either the slope of the hillside itself or the path leading down from it (the second option has been adopted for the translation, see L&N 15.109).

[19:37]  ⁶ sn See the note on the name Mount of Olives in v. 29.

[19:37]  ⁷ tn Grk “the”; the Greek article has been translated here as a possessive pronoun (ExSyn 215).

[19:37]  ⁸ tn Here the participle χαίροντες (caironte") has been translated as a finite verb in English; it could also be translated adverbially as a participle of manner: “began to praise God joyfully.”

[19:37]  ⁹ sn See 2:13, 20; Acts 2:47; 3:8-9.

[19:37]  ¹⁰ tn Or “works of power,” “miracles.” Jesus’ ministry of miracles is what has drawn attention. See Luke 7:22.

[19:37]  ¹¹ tn Grk “they had seen, saying.” The participle λέγοντες (legontes) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.
