[3:24]  1 sn The three conditional statements in vv. 24-26 express the logical result of the assumption that Jesus heals by Satan’s power, expressed by the religious leaders. The point is clear: If the leaders are correct, then Satan’s kingdom will not stand, so the suggestion makes no sense. Satan would not seek to heal.

[10:26]  2 tn Grk “But they were even more astonished, saying.” The participle λέγονες (legontes) has been translated here as a finite verb to emphasize the sequence of events: The disciples were astonished, then they spoke.

[10:26]  3 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of thought.

[10:26]  4 sn The assumption is that the rich are blessed, so if they risk exclusion, who is left to be saved?
