[4:24]  ¹ tn Grk “by [the measure] with which you measure it will be measured to you.”

[9:19]  ² tn Grk “And answering, he said to them.” The participle ἀποκριθείς (apokriqeis) is redundant, but the phrasing of the sentence was modified slightly to make it clearer in English.

[9:19]  ³ tn Grk “O.” The marker of direct address, ὦ (w), is functionally equivalent to a vocative and is represented in the translation by “you.”

[9:19]  ⁴ tn Or “faithless.”

[9:19]  ⁵ tn Grk “how long.”

[9:19]  ⁶ tn Or “put up with.” See Num 11:12; Isa 46:4.

[9:19]  ⁷ sn The pronouns you…you are plural, indicating that Jesus is speaking to a group rather than an individual.

[2:19]  ³ tn Grk “And Jesus.”

[2:19]  ⁴ tn Grk “sons of the wedding hall,” an idiom referring to wedding guests, or more specifically, friends of the bridegroom present at the wedding celebration (L&N 11.7).

[2:19]  ⁵ sn The expression while the bridegroom is with them is an allusion to messianic times (John 3:29; Isa 54:5-6; 62:4-5; 4 Ezra 2:15, 38).

[2:19]  ⁶ tn Questions prefaced with μή (mh) in Greek anticipate a negative answer. This can sometimes be indicated by using a “tag” at the end in English (here the tag is “can they?”).
