[8:1]  ¹ tn Grk “And it happened that some time.” 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.

[8:1]  ² tn Καθεξῆς (Kaqexh") is a general temporal term and need not mean “soon afterward”; see Luke 1:3; Acts 3:24; 11:4; 18:23 and L&N 61.1.

[8:1]  ³ tn Or “cities.”

[8:1]  ⁴ sn The combination of preaching and proclaiming the good news is a bit emphatic, stressing Jesus’ teaching ministry on the rule of God.

[8:1]  ⁵ sn The kingdom of God is a major theme of Jesus. It is a realm in which Jesus rules and to which those who trust him belong. See Luke 6:20; 11:20; 17:20-21.

[8:1]  ⁶ tn Grk “And the.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[8:38]  ⁷ tn Grk “be,” that is, “remain.” In this context that would involve accompanying Jesus as he went on his way.

[8:38]  ⁸ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[19:23]  ¹³ tn That is, “If you really feared me why did you not do a minimum to get what I asked for?”

[19:23]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “on the table”; the idiom refers to a place where money is kept or managed, or credit is established, thus “bank” (L&N 57.215).

[22:56]  ¹⁹ tn The Greek term here is παιδίσκη (paidiskh), referring to a slave girl or slave woman.

[23:11]  ²⁵ tn This is a continuation of the previous Greek sentence, but because of its length and complexity, a new sentence was started here in the translation by supplying “then” to indicate the sequence of events.

[23:11]  ²⁶ sn This mockery involved putting elegant royal clothes on Jesus, either white or purple (the colors of royalty). This was no doubt a mockery of Jesus’ claim to be a king.

[23:11]  ²⁷ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Herod) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[24:10]  ³¹ sn Mary Magdalene is always noted first in the appearance lists in the gospels. It is unusual that the first appearance would involve women as in this culture their role as witnesses would not be well accepted. It is a sign of the veracity of the account, because if an ancient were to create such a story he would never have it start with women.

[24:10]  ³² sn On Joanna see Luke 8:1-3.

[24:24]  ³⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[24:24]  ³⁸ tn Here the pronoun αὐτόν (auton), referring to Jesus, is in an emphatic position. The one thing they lacked was solid evidence that he was alive.

[24:29]  ⁴³ tn Grk “urged him, saying.” The participle λέγοντες (legontes, “saying”) has not been translated because it is redundant in contemporary English.

[24:29]  ⁴⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the disciples’ request.

[24:33]  ⁴⁹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the Lord’s appearance to them.
