[12:30]  ¹ tn Grk “You will love.” The future indicative is used here with imperatival force (see ExSyn 452 and 569).

[12:30]  ² sn A quotation from Deut 6:4-5 and Josh 22:5 (LXX). The fourfold reference to different parts of the person says, in effect, that one should love God with all one’s being.

[12:33]  ³ sn A quotation from Deut 6:5.

[12:33]  ⁴ sn A quotation from Lev 19:18.

[1:28]  ⁵ tn Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of previous action(s) in the narrative.

[1:39]  ⁷ tn Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of previous action(s) in the narrative.

[1:39]  ⁸ sn See the note on synagogue in 1:21.

[8:36]  ⁹ tn Grk “a man,” but ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") is used in a generic sense here to refer to both men and women.

[8:36]  ¹⁰ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “yet” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[15:16]  ¹¹ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “So” to indicate that the soldiers’ action is in response to Pilate’s condemnation of the prisoner in v. 15.

[15:16]  ¹² tn Grk “(that is, the praetorium).”

[15:16]  ¹³ sn A Roman cohort was a tenth of a legion, about 500-600 soldiers.

[15:33]  ¹³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.

[15:33]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “When the sixth hour had come.”

[15:33]  ¹⁵ sn This imagery has parallels to the Day of the Lord: Joel 2:10; Amos 8:9; Zeph 1:15.

[15:33]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “until the ninth hour.”

[6:55]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “wherever they heard he was.”

[12:44]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “out of what abounded to them.”

[12:44]  ¹⁸ sn The contrast between this passage, 12:41-44, and what has come before in 11:27-12:40 is remarkable. The woman is set in stark contrast to the religious leaders. She was a poor widow, they were rich. She was uneducated in the law, they were well educated in the law. She was a woman, they were men. But whereas they evidenced no faith and actually stole money from God and men (cf. 11:17), she evidenced great faith and gave out of her extreme poverty everything she had.

[14:9]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”

[15:1]  ²¹ tn Or “and the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 1:22.

[15:1]  ²² sn The Jews most assuredly wanted to put Jesus to death, but they lacked the authority to do so. For this reason they handed him over to Pilate in hopes of securing a death sentence. The Romans kept close control of the death penalty in conquered territories to prevent it being used to execute Roman sympathizers.
