[15:22]  ¹ tn Grk “him.”

[15:22]  ² tn Grk “a place, Golgotha.” This is an Aramaic name; see John 19:17.

[15:22]  ³ sn The place called Golgotha (which is translated “Place of the Skull”). This location is north and just outside of Jerusalem. The hill on which it is located protruded much like a skull, giving the place its name. The Latin word for the Greek term κρανίον (kranion) is calvaria, from which the English word “Calvary” is derived (cf. Luke 23:33 in the KJV).

[1:35]  ⁴ tn Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[1:35]  ⁵ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[1:35]  ⁶ tn The imperfect προσηύχετο (proshuceto) implies some duration to the prayer.

[6:35]  ⁷ tn Or “a desert” (meaning a deserted or desolate area with sparse vegetation).

[13:8]  ¹⁰ tn For the translation “rise up in arms” see L&N 55.2.

[13:8]  ¹¹ sn See Isa 5:13-14; 13:6-16; Hag 2:6-7; Zech 14:4.

[1:45]  ¹³ tn Grk “he”; the referent (the man who was healed) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[1:45]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[1:45]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “and”; καί (kai) often has a mildly contrastive force, as here.

[1:45]  ¹⁶ tn The imperfect verb has been translated iteratively.

[6:11]  ¹⁶ sn To shake the dust off represented shaking off the uncleanness from one’s feet; see Luke 10:11; Acts 13:51; 18:6. It was a sign of rejection.

[16:6]  ¹⁹ sn See the note on Crucify in 15:13.

[16:6]  ²⁰ tn The verb here is passive (ἠγέρθη, hgerqh). This “divine passive” (see ExSyn 437-38) points to the fact that Jesus was raised by God.
