[2:41]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.

[2:41]  ² tn Grk “his”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[2:41]  ³ map For location see Map5 B1; Map6 F3; Map7 E2; Map8 F2; Map10 B3; JP1 F4; JP2 F4; JP3 F4; JP4 F4.

[2:41]  ⁴ tn On the distributive use of the term κατά (kata), see BDF §305.

[2:41]  ⁵ sn The custom of Jesus and his family going to Jerusalem every year for the feast of the Passover shows their piety in obeying the law (Exod 23:14-17).

[8:56]  ⁶ tn Grk “And her.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[8:56]  ⁷ sn Jesus ordered them to tell no one because he desired that miracles not become the center of his ministry.

[21:16]  ¹¹ sn To confess Christ might well mean rejection by one’s own family, even by parents.

[21:16]  ¹² tn Grk “and brothers and relatives,” but καί (kai) has not been translated twice here since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

[2:43]  ¹⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated contrastively in keeping with the context. This outcome is different from what had happened all the times before.

[2:43]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “when the days ended.”

[2:43]  ¹⁸ tn The word “home” is not in the Greek text, but has been supplied for clarity.

[2:43]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “And his.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[2:43]  ²⁰ tc Most mss, especially later ones (A C Ψ 0130 ˹³ Ï it), read ᾿Ιωσὴφ καὶ ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ (Iwshf kai Jh mhthr aujtou, “[both] Joseph and his mother”), a reading evidently intended to insulate the doctrine of the virgin conception of our Lord. But א B D L W Θ Ë¹ 33 579 1241 pc lat sa read οἱ γονεῖς αὐτοῦ (Joi gonei" autou, “his parents”) as in the translation. Such motivated readings as the former lack credibility, especially since the better witnesses affirm the virgin conception of Christ in Luke 1:34-35.

[2:27]  ²¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the consequential nature of the action.

[2:27]  ²² tn Grk “he”; the referent (Simeon) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[2:27]  ²³ tn Grk “So in the Spirit” or “So by the Spirit,” but since it refers to the Spirit’s direction the expanded translation “directed by the Spirit” is used here.

[2:27]  ²⁴ tn Grk “the temple.”

[2:27]  ²⁵ tn Grk “to do for him according to the custom of the law.” See Luke 2:22-24.

[18:29]  ²⁶ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[18:29]  ²⁷ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[18:29]  ²⁸ tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”

[18:29]  ²⁹ tn The term “brothers” could be understood as generic here, referring to either male or female siblings. However, it is noteworthy that in the parallel passages in both Matt 19:29 and Mark 10:29, “sisters” are explicitly mentioned in the Greek text.
