[9:37] ¹tn Grk “Now it happened that on.” 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.

[4:29] ²tn Grk “cast.”

[4:29] ³tn Or “city.”

[4:29] ⁴tn The Greek conjunction ὥστε (Jwste) here indicates their purpose.

[4:29] ⁵sn The attempt to throw him down the cliff looks like “lynch law,” but it may really be an indication that Jesus was regarded as a false prophet who was worthy of death (Deut 13:5). Such a sentence meant being thrown into a pit and then stoned.

[19:37] ³tn Grk “the descent of”; this could refer to either the slope of the hillside itself or the path leading down from it (the second option has been adopted for the translation, see L&N 15.109).

[19:37] ⁴sn See the note on the name Mount of Olives in v. 29.

[19:37] ⁵tn Grk “the”; the Greek article has been translated here as a possessive pronoun (ExSyn 215).

[19:37] ⁶tn Here the participle χαίροντες (caironte") has been translated as a finite verb in English; it could also be translated adverbially as a participle of manner: “began to praise God joyfully.”

[19:37] ⁷sn See 2:13, 20; Acts 2:47; 3:8-9.

[19:37] ⁸tn Or “works of power,” “miracles.” Jesus’ ministry of miracles is what has drawn attention. See Luke 7:22.

[19:37] ⁹tn Grk “they had seen, saying.” The participle λέγοντες (legontes) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.
