[7:45]  1 tn Grk “no kiss.” This refers to a formalized kiss of greeting, standard in that culture. To convey this to the modern reader, the words “of greeting” have been supplied to qualify what kind of kiss is meant.

[8:2]  2 sn There is an important respect shown to women in this text, as their contributions were often ignored in ancient society.

[8:2]  3 tn Or “illnesses.” The term ἀσθένεια (asqeneia) refers to the state of being ill and thus incapacitated in some way – “illness, disability, weakness.” (L&N 23.143).

[8:2]  4 sn This Mary is not the woman mentioned in the previous passage (as some church fathers claimed), because she is introduced as a new figure here. In addition, she is further specified by Luke with the notation called Magdalene, which seems to distinguish her from the woman at Simon the Pharisee’s house.

[17:27]  3 tn Grk “They.” The plural in Greek is indefinite, referring to people in general.

[17:27]  4 tn These verbs (“eating… drinking… marrying… being given in marriage”) are all progressive imperfects, describing action in progress at that time.

[17:27]  5 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[17:27]  6 sn Like that flood came and destroyed them all, the coming judgment associated with the Son of Man will condemn many.

[1:20]  4 tn Grk “behold.”

[1:20]  5 sn The predicted fulfillment in the expression my words, which will be fulfilled in their time takes place in Luke 1:63-66.

[1:20]  6 sn Silent, unable to speak. Actually Zechariah was deaf and mute as 1:61-63 indicates, since others had to use gestures to communicate with him.
