[4:35]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast involved in Jesus’ reply.

[4:35]  ³ sn The command Come out of him! is an example of Jesus’ authority (see v. 32). Unlike other exorcists, Jesus did not use magical incantations nor did he invoke anyone else’s name.

[12:1]  ¹⁰ sn The pursuit of popularity can lead to hypocrisy, if one is not careful.

[12:37]  ¹¹ tn See the note on the word “slave” in 7:2.

[12:37]  ¹³ tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”

[12:37]  ¹⁴ tn See v. 35 (same verb).

[12:37]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “have them recline at table,” as 1st century middle eastern meals were not eaten while sitting at a table, but while reclining on one’s side on the floor with the head closest to the low table and the feet farthest away.

[12:37]  ¹⁷ sn He…will come and wait on them is a reversal of expectation, but shows that what Jesus asks for he is willing to do as well; see John 13:5 and 15:18-27, although those instances merely foreshadow what is in view here.

[19:30]  ²² tn Grk “the village lying before [you]” (BDAG 530 s.v. κατέναντι 2.a).

[19:30]  ²⁴ tn Grk “a colt tied there on which no one of men has ever sat.”

[20:21]  ²⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “thus” to indicate the implied result of the plans by the spies.

[20:21]  ²⁷ tn Or “precisely”; Grk “rightly.” Jesus teaches exactly, the straight and narrow.
