[4:13]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate a summary.

[4:13]  ² tn Grk “he”; the referent (the devil) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[4:13]  ³ tn Grk “until a favorable time.”

[8:13]  ⁴ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[8:13]  ⁵ sn This time of temporary faith represented by the description believe for a while is presented rather tragically in the passage. The seed does not get a chance to do all it can.

[8:13]  ⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[8:13]  ⁷ tn Traditionally, “temptation.” Such a translation puts the emphasis on temptation to sin rather than testing of faith, which is what the context seems to indicate.

[8:13]  ⁸ sn Fall away. On the idea of falling away and the warnings against it, see 2 Tim 3:1; Heb 3:12; Jer 3:14; Dan 9:9.

[12:56]  ⁷ sn In Luke, the term hypocrites occurs here, in 6:42, and in 13:15.

[12:56]  ⁸ tc Most mss (Ì⁴⁵ A W Ψ Ë^1,13 Ï lat) have a syntax here that reflects a slightly different rhetorical question: “but how do you not interpret the present time?” The reading behind the translation, however, has overall superior support: Ì⁷⁵ א B L Θ 33 892 1241 pc.

[13:1]  ¹⁰ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.

[13:1]  ¹¹ sn This is an event that otherwise is unattested, though several events similar to it are noted in Josephus (J. W. 2.9.2-4 [2.169-177]; Ant. 13.13.5 [13.372-73], 18.3.1-2 [18.55-62]; 18.4.1 [18.85-87]). It would have caused a major furor.

[18:30]  ¹³ sn Jesus reassures his disciples with a promise that (1) much benefit in this life (many times more) and (2) eternal life in the age to come will be given.

[18:30]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “this time” (καιρός, kairos), but for stylistic reasons this has been translated “this age” here.

[18:30]  ¹⁵ sn Note that Luke (see also Matt 19:29; Mark 10:30; Luke 10:25) portrays eternal life as something one receives in the age to come, unlike John, who emphasizes the possibility of receiving eternal life in the present (John 5:24).

[20:10]  ¹⁶ sn This slave (along with the next two) represent the prophets God sent to the nation, who were mistreated and rejected.

[20:10]  ¹⁷ tc Instead of the future indicative δώσουσιν (dwsousin, “they will give”), most witnesses (C D W Θ Ψ Ë¹ Ï) have the aorist subjunctive δῶσιν (dwsin, “they might give”). The aorist subjunctive is expected following ἵνα ({ina, “so that”), so it is almost surely a motivated reading. Further, early and excellent witnesses, as well as a few others (א A B ˹³ 33 579 1241 2542 al), have δώσουσιν. It is thus more likely that the future indicative is authentic. For a discussion of this construction, see BDF §369.2.

[20:10]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “from the fruit of the vineyard.”

[20:10]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “him”; the referent (the slave sent by the owner) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[21:36]  ¹⁹ sn The call to be alert at all times is a call to remain faithful in looking for the Lord’s return.

[21:36]  ²⁰ tn For the translation of μέλλω (mellw) as “must,” see L&N 71.36.

[1:20]  ²² tn Grk “behold.”

[1:20]  ²³ sn The predicted fulfillment in the expression my words, which will be fulfilled in their time takes place in Luke 1:63-66.

[1:20]  ²⁴ sn Silent, unable to speak. Actually Zechariah was deaf and mute as 1:61-63 indicates, since others had to use gestures to communicate with him.

[12:42]  ²⁵ tn Grk “And the Lord said.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[12:42]  ²⁶ tn Or “administrator,” “steward” (L&N 37.39).

[12:42]  ²⁷ tn This term, θεραπεία (qerapeia), describes the group of servants working in a particular household (L&N 46.6).

[19:44]  ²⁸ tn Grk “They will raze you to the ground.”

[19:44]  ²⁹ tn Grk “your children within you.” The phrase “[your] walls” has been supplied in the translation to clarify that the city of Jerusalem, metaphorically pictured as an individual, is spoken of here.

[19:44]  ³⁰ sn (Not) one stone on top of another is an idiom for total destruction.

[19:44]  ³¹ tn Grk “leave stone on stone.”

[19:44]  ³² tn Grk “the time of your visitation.” To clarify what this refers to, the words “from God” are supplied at the end of the verse, although they do not occur in the Greek text.

[21:8]  ³¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[21:8]  ³² tn Or “Be on guard.”

[21:8]  ³³ tn That is, “I am the Messiah.”

[21:24]  ³⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[21:24]  ³⁵ tn Grk “by the mouth of the sword” (an idiom for the edge of a sword).

[21:24]  ³⁶ sn Here is the predicted judgment against the nation until the time of Gentile rule has passed: Its people will be led away as captives.

[21:24]  ³⁷ tn Grk “And Jerusalem.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[21:24]  ³⁸ sn Until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled implies a time when Israel again has a central role in God’s plan.
