[4:29]  1 tn Grk “cast.”

[4:29]  2 tn Or “city.”

[4:29]  3 tn The Greek conjunction ὥστε (Jwste) here indicates their purpose.

[4:29]  4 sn The attempt to throw him down the cliff looks like “lynch law,” but it may really be an indication that Jesus was regarded as a false prophet who was worthy of death (Deut 13:5). Such a sentence meant being thrown into a pit and then stoned.

[6:49]  5 tn Grk “does not do [them].”

[6:49]  6 tn Grk “against which”; because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, the relative clause was converted to a temporal clause in the translation and a new sentence started here.

[6:49]  7 tn Grk “it”; the referent (that house) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[6:49]  8 tn Grk “and its crash was great.”

[20:17]  9 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[20:17]  10 tn Or “capstone,” “keystone.” Although these meanings are lexically possible, the imagery in Eph 2:20-22 and 1 Cor 3:11 indicates that the term κεφαλὴ γωνίας (kefalh gwnia") refers to a cornerstone, not a capstone.
