[5:11]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the result of Jesus’ pronouncement.

[5:11]  ² sn The expression left everything and followed him pictures discipleship, which means that to learn from Jesus is to follow him as the guiding priority of one’s life.

[5:3]  ³ tn Grk “Getting into”; the participle ἐμβάς (embas) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[5:3]  ⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[5:3]  ⁵ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[5:3]  ⁶ tn Grk “sitting down”; the participle καθίσας (kaqisa") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[5:7]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate consequential nature of the action.

[5:2]  ⁷ tn Grk “And he.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[8:22]  ⁹ tn Grk “Now it happened that one.” 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 δέ (de) has not been translated either.

[8:22]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:22]  ¹¹ sn A boat that held all the disciples would be of significant size.

[8:22]  ¹² tn Grk “lake, and.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the response to Jesus’ request. In addition, because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[8:37]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:37]  ¹⁵ tn Or “to depart from them.”

[8:37]  ¹⁶ sn Again there is great fear at God’s activity, but there is a different reaction. Some people want nothing to do with God’s presence. Mark 5:16 hints that economic reasons motivated their request.

[8:37]  ¹⁷ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate that Jesus’ departure was the result of the Gerasenes’ response. A new sentence was started in the translation at this point for stylistic reasons.

[8:37]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “returned,” but the effect is that he departed from the Gerasene region.
