[8:25]  1 tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[8:25]  2 snWhere is your faith?” The call is to trust God and realize that those who exercise faith can trust in his care.

[8:25]  3 sn The combination of fear and respect (afraid and amazed) shows that the disciples are becoming impressed with the great power at work in Jesus, a realization that fuels their question. For a similar reaction, see Luke 5:9.

[8:25]  4 sn Jesus’ authority over creation raised a question for the disciples about who he was exactly (“Who then is this?”). This verse shows that the disciples followed Jesus even though they did not know all about him yet.

[8:26]  5 tn Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[8:26]  6 tn Or “commanded” (often with the implication of a threat, L&N 33.331).

[8:26]  7 sn Who has authority over the seas and winds is discussed in the OT: Ps 104:3; 135:7; 107:23-30. When Jesus rebuked the winds and the sea he was making a statement about who he was.

[16:8]  9 tn Grk “Those of little faith.”

[17:17]  13 tn Or “faithless.”

[17:17]  14 tn Grk “how long.”

[17:17]  15 tn Or “put up with.” See Num 11:12; Isa 46:4.

[17:17]  16 sn The pronouns you…you are plural, indicating that Jesus is speaking to a group rather than an individual.

[17:20]  17 tn Grk “For truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.” Here γάρ (gar) has not been translated.
