[2:43]  1 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]  2 tn Grk “when the days ended.”

[2:43]  3 tn The word “home” is not in the Greek text, but has been supplied for clarity.

[2:43]  4 tn Grk “And his.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[2:43]  5 tc Most mss, especially later ones (A C Ψ 0130 Ë13 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.

[6:39]  6 tn Questions prefaced with μή (mh) in Greek anticipate a negative answer. This can sometimes be indicated by using a “tag” at the end in English (here it is “can he?”).

[6:39]  7 sn The picture of a blind man leading a blind man is a warning to watch who one follows: Won’t they both fall into a pit? The sermon has been about religious choices and reacting graciously to those who oppose the followers of Jesus. Here Jesus’ point was to be careful who you follow and where they are taking you.

[11:22]  11 tn Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[11:22]  12 tn The referent of the expression “a stronger man” is Jesus.

[11:22]  13 tn Grk “stronger man than he attacks.”

[11:22]  14 tn Grk “his”; the referent (the first man mentioned) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[11:22]  15 tn Grk “on which he relied.”

[11:22]  16 tn Or “and distributes.”

[11:22]  17 sn Some see the imagery here as similar to Eph 4:7-10, although no opponents are explicitly named in that passage. Jesus has the victory over Satan. Jesus’ acts of healing mean that the war is being won and the kingdom is coming.
