[6:16] 1 sn There is some debate about what the name Iscariot means. It probably alludes to a region in Judea and thus might make Judas the only non-Galilean in the group. Several explanations for the name Iscariot have been proposed, but it is probably transliterated Hebrew with the meaning “man of Kerioth” (there are at least two villages that had that name). For further discussion see D. L. Bock, Luke (BECNT), 1:546; also D. A. Carson, John, 304.
[22:3] 2 tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.
[22:3] 3 sn The cross is portrayed as part of the cosmic battle between Satan and God; see Luke 4:1-13; 11:14-23.
[22:3] 4 tn Grk “Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.”
