[7:42]  1 tn The verb ἐχαρίσατο (ecarisato) could be translated as “forgave.” Of course this pictures the forgiveness of God’s grace, which is not earned but bestowed with faith (see v. 49).

[21:3]  2 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[21:3]  3 tn Grk “Truly, I say to you.”

[21:3]  4 sn Has put in more than all of them. With God, giving is weighed evaluatively, not counted. The widow was praised because she gave sincerely and at some considerable cost to herself.
