[2:6]  ¹ tn Grk “And it happened that while.” 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.

[2:6]  ² tn The words “her child” are not in the Greek text, but have been supplied to clarify what was being delivered. The wording here is like Luke 1:57. Grk “the days for her to give birth were fulfilled.”

[2:9]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[2:9]  ⁴ tn Or “the angel of the Lord.” See the note on the word “Lord” in 1:11.

[2:9]  ⁵ tn Or “stood in front of.”

[2:9]  ⁶ tn Grk “they feared a great fear” (a Semitic idiom which intensifies the main idea, in this case their fear).

[4:21]  ⁵ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[4:21]  ⁶ sn See the note on today in 2:11.

[4:21]  ⁷ tn Grk “in your hearing.”

[4:31]  ⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the continuation of the topic; in light of his rejection at Nazareth, Jesus went on to Capernaum.

[4:31]  ⁸ sn Capernaum was a town on the northwest shore of the Sea of Galilee, 680 ft (204 m) below sea level. It was a major trade and economic center in the North Galilean region, and it became the hub of operations for Jesus’ Galilean ministry.

[4:31]  ⁹ tn Or “city.”

[4:31]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “them”; the referent (the people) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[9:14]  ⁹ tn The Greek text reads here ἄνδρες (andres) – that is, adult males. The actual count would be larger, since the use of this Greek term suggests that women and children were not included in this number (see the parallel in Matt 14:21).

[9:14]  ¹⁰ sn This is a parenthetical note by the author.

[9:14]  ¹¹ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[9:14]  ¹² tn Or “Make” (depending on how the force of the imperative verb is understood). Grk “cause them to recline” (the verb has causative force here).

[11:47]  ¹¹ sn The effect of what the experts in the law were doing was to deny the message of the prophets and thus honor their death by supporting those who had sought their removal. The charge that this is what previous generations did shows the problem is chronic. As T. W. Manson said, the charge here is “The only prophet you honor is a dead prophet!” (The Sayings of Jesus, 101).

[11:47]  ¹² tn Or “forefathers”; Grk “fathers.”

[13:23]  ¹³ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[13:23]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “said to.”

[13:23]  ¹⁵ sn The warnings earlier in Jesus’ teaching have led to the question whether only a few will be saved.

[13:23]  ¹⁶ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate that Jesus’ reply was triggered by the preceding question.

[14:7]  ¹⁵ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[14:7]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[14:7]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “those who were invited.”

[14:7]  ¹⁸ tn Or “the best places.” The “places of honor” at the meal would be those closest to the host.

[16:30]  ¹⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[16:30]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “he”; the referent (the rich man, v. 19) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[16:30]  ¹⁹ sn If someone from the dead goes to them. The irony and joy of the story is that what is denied the rich man’s brothers, a word of warning from beyond the grave, is given to the reader of the Gospel in this exchange.

[19:33]  ¹⁹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[19:33]  ²⁰ tn Grk “said to them.”

[20:3]  ²¹ tn Grk “answering, he said to them.” This is redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation.

[20:25]  ²³ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate that Jesus’ pronouncement results from the opponents’ answer to his question.

[20:25]  ²⁴ sn Jesus’ answer to give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and to God the things that are God’s was a both/and, not the questioners’ either/or. So he slipped out of their trap.

[22:15]  ²⁵ tn This phrase parallels a Hebrew infinitive absolute and serves to underline Jesus’ enthusiasm for holding this meal (BDF §198.6).

[22:45]  ²⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[22:45]  ²⁸ tn Grk “from grief.” The word “exhausted” is not in the Greek text, but is implied; the disciples have fallen asleep from mental and emotional exhaustion resulting from their distress (see L&N 25.273; cf. TEV, NIV, NLT).

[24:15]  ²⁹ tn Grk “And it happened that while.” 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.

[24:15]  ³⁰ tn This term suggests emotional dialogue and can thus be translated “debated.”

[24:15]  ³¹ tn The phrase “these things” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

[24:17]  ³¹ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[24:17]  ³² tn Grk “words,” but the term λόγος (logos) can refer to “matters” rather than only “words” (BDAG 600 s.v. 1.a.ε).

[24:17]  ³³ tn “Discussing so intently” translates the reciprocal idea conveyed by πρὸς ἀλλήλους (pro" allhlou"). The term ἀντιβάλλω (antiballw), used only here in the NT, has the nuance of “arguing” or “debating” a point (the English idiom “to exchange words” also comes close).

[24:51]  ³³ tn Grk “And it happened that while.” 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.

[24:51]  ³⁴ tn Grk “while he blessed them.”

[24:51]  ³⁵ tn Grk “he departed from them.”

[24:51]  ³⁶ tc The reference to the ascension (“and was taken up into heaven”) is lacking in א* D it sy^s, but it is found in Ì⁷⁵ and the rest of the ms tradition. The authenticity of the statement here seems to be presupposed in Acts 1:2, for otherwise it is difficult to account for Luke’s reference to the ascension there.
