[2:46]  ¹ tn Grk “And it happened that after.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated. Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[2:46]  ² sn Three days means there was one day out, another day back, and a third day of looking in Jerusalem.

[2:46]  ³ tn Grk “the temple.”

[2:46]  ⁴ tn This is the only place in Luke’s Gospel where the term διδάσκαλος (didaskalo", “teacher”) is applied to Jews.

[4:17]  ⁵ tn Grk “And unrolling the scroll he found.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style. Instead a new sentence has been started in the translation.

[4:17]  ⁶ tn Grk “opening,” but a scroll of this period would have to be unrolled. The participle ἀναπτύξας (anaptuxa") has been translated as a finite verb due to the requirements of contemporary English style.

[6:7]  ⁹ tn Or “The scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 5:21.

[6:7]  ¹⁰ sn See the note on Pharisees in 5:17.

[6:7]  ¹¹ sn The term translated watched…closely is emotive, since it carries negative connotations. It means they were watching him out of the corner of their eye or spying on him.

[6:7]  ¹² tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[6:7]  ¹³ tn This is a first class condition in the Greek text; Jesus’ opponents anticipated he would do this.

[6:7]  ¹⁴ sn The background for this is the view that only if life was endangered should one attempt to heal on the Sabbath (see the Mishnah, m. Shabbat 6.3; 12.1; 18.3; 19.2; m. Yoma 8.6).

[9:36]  ¹³ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[9:36]  ¹⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the concluding summary of the account.

[9:36]  ¹⁵ sn Although the disciples told no one at the time, later they did recount this. The commentary on this scene is 2 Pet 1:17-18.

[9:36]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “in those days.”

[11:9]  ¹⁷ tn Here καί (kai, from καγώ [kagw]) has been translated as “so” to indicate the conclusion drawn from the preceding parable.

[11:9]  ¹⁸ sn The three present imperatives in this verse (Ask…seek…knock) are probably intended to call for a repeated or continual approach before God.

[11:9]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “it”; the referent (a door) is implied by the context and has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[15:24]  ²¹ sn This statement links the parable to the theme of 15:6, 9.

[15:24]  ²² tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the result of the father’s remarks in the preceding verses.

[15:32]  ²⁵ tn Or “necessary.”

[15:32]  ²⁶ sn By referring to him as your brother, the father reminded the older brother that the younger brother was part of the family.

[15:32]  ²⁷ sn The theme he was lost and is found is repeated from v. 24. The conclusion is open-ended. The reader is left to ponder with the older son (who pictures the scribes and Pharisees) what the response will be. The parable does not reveal the ultimate response of the older brother. Jesus argued that sinners should be pursued and received back warmly when they returned.

[23:22]  ²⁹ tn Grk “no cause of death I found in him.”

[23:22]  ³⁰ sn The refrain of innocence comes once again. Pilate tried to bring some sense of justice, believing Jesus had committed no crime deserving death.

[23:22]  ³¹ tn Or “scourge” (BDAG 749 s.v. παιδεύω 2.b.γ). See the note on “flogged” in v. 16.

[24:23]  ³³ sn The men in dazzling attire mentioned in v. 4 are identified as angels here.

[24:24]  ³⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[24:24]  ³⁸ 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.

[24:33]  ⁴¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the Lord’s appearance to them.
