[4:22]  ¹ tn Grk “And all.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[4:22]  ² tn Grk “And they.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[4:22]  ³ sn The form of the question assumes a positive reply. It really amounts to an objection, as Jesus’ response in the next verses shows. Jesus spoke smoothly and impressively. He made a wonderful declaration, but could a local carpenter’s son make such an offer? That was their real question.

[14:31]  ⁴ tn The participle καθίσας (kaqisa") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[15:8]  ⁷ sn This silver coin is a drachma, equal to a denarius, that is, a day’s pay for the average laborer.

[15:8]  ⁸ tn Grk “What woman who has ten silver coins, if she loses.” The initial participle ἔχουσα (ecousa) has been translated as a finite verb parallel to ἀπολέσῃ (apolesh) in the conditional clause to improve the English style.

[15:8]  ⁹ tn Grk “one coin.”

[15:8]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “and sweep,” but καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

[17:8]  ¹⁰ tn The question includes a Greek particle, οὐχί (ouci), that expects a positive reply. The slave is expected to prepare a meal before eating himself.

[17:8]  ¹¹ tn Grk “he”; the referent has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[17:8]  ¹² tn Grk “and gird yourself” (with an apron or towel, in preparation for service).

[17:8]  ¹³ tn BDAG 423 s.v. ἕως 2.b, “to denote contemporaneousness as long as, while… w. subjunctive… Lk 17:8.”

[17:8]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “after these things.”
