[11:23]  1 tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”

[11:2]  2 tn Grk “the village lying before you” (BDAG 530 s.v. κατέναντι 2.b).

[11:2]  3 tn Grk “a colt tied there on which no one of men has ever sat.”

[17:20]  4 tn Grk “For truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.” Here γάρ (gar) has not been translated.

[17:20]  5 tn Grk “faith as,” “faith like.”

[17:20]  6 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

[21:21]  7 tn Grk “And answering, Jesus said.” This is somewhat redundant and has been simplified in the translation.

[21:21]  8 tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”

[21:22]  9 tn Grk “believing”; the participle here is conditional.

[17:6]  10 tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of previous action(s) in the narrative.

[17:6]  11 tn Grk “said.”

[17:6]  12 tn This is a mixed condition, with ἄν (an) in the apodosis.

[17:6]  13 tn Grk “faith as,” “faith like.”

[17:6]  14 sn A black mulberry tree is a deciduous fruit tree that grows about 20 ft (6 m) tall and has black juicy berries. This tree has an extensive root system, so to pull it up would be a major operation.

[17:6]  15 tn The passives here (ἐκριζώθητι and φυτεύθητι, ekrizwqhti and futeuqhti) are probably a circumlocution for God performing the action (the so-called divine passive, see ExSyn 437-38). The issue is not the amount of faith (which in the example is only very tiny), but its presence, which can accomplish impossible things. To cause a tree to be uprooted and planted in the sea is impossible. The expression is a rhetorical idiom. It is like saying a camel can go through the eye of a needle (Luke 18:25).

[17:6]  16 tn The verb is aorist, though it looks at a future event, another rhetorical touch to communicate certainty of the effect of faith.

[4:48]  17 tn The word “people” is not in the Greek text, but is supplied to indicate that the verb is second person plural (referring to more than the royal official alone).

[4:48]  18 tn Or “you never believe.” The verb πιστεύσητε (pisteushte) is aorist subjunctive and may have either nuance.

[4:50]  19 tn Grk “Go”; the word “home” is not in the Greek text, but is implied.

[4:50]  20 tn Grk “and left.” The words “for home” are implied by the following verse.

[11:40]  21 tn Grk “Jesus said to her.”

[14:9]  22 tn Grk “speaking, who.” The relative pronoun has been replaced by the noun “Paul,” and a new sentence begun in the translation because an English relative clause would be very awkward here.

[14:9]  23 tn Or “looked.”
