[1:2]  ¹ tn Grk “fathered.”

[7:3]  ² tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[7:3]  ³ sn The term translated speck refers to a small piece of wood, chaff, or straw; see L&N 3.66.

[7:3]  ⁴ tn Or “do not notice.”

[7:3]  ⁵ sn The term beam of wood refers to a very big piece of wood, the main beam of a building, in contrast to the speck in the other’s eye (L&N 7.78).

[13:11]  ³ tn Grk “And answering, he said to them.” This construction is somewhat redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation. Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[13:11]  ⁴ tn This is an example of a “divine passive,” with God understood to be the source of the revelation (see ExSyn 437-38).

[13:11]  ⁵ tn Grk “to you it has been given to know.” The dative pronoun occurs first, in emphatic position in the Greek text, although this position is awkward in contemporary English.

[13:11]  ⁶ tn Grk “the mysteries.”

[13:21]  ⁴ tn Grk “is temporary.”

[13:21]  ⁵ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[13:28]  ⁵ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the owner’s statement.

[18:17]  ⁶ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[18:17]  ⁷ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[18:17]  ⁸ tn Grk “let him be to you as.”

[18:17]  ⁹ tn Or “a pagan.”

[18:17]  ¹⁰ sn To treat him like a Gentile or a tax collector means not to associate with such a person. See the note on tax collectors in 5:46.

[20:31]  ⁷ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[20:31]  ⁸ tn Or “rebuked.” The crowd’s view was that surely Jesus would not be bothered with someone as unimportant as a blind beggar.

[20:31]  ⁹ tc ‡ The majority of mss (C W ˹ 33 Ï and several versional witnesses) read κύριε (kurie, “Lord”) after ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς (elehson Jhma", “have mercy on us”). But since this is the order of words in v. 30 (though that wording is also disputed), and since the κύριε-first reading enjoys widespread and early support (א B D L Z Θ 085 0281 ˹³ 892 pc lat), the latter was considered original. However, the decision was by no means easy. NA²⁷ has κύριε after ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς here; a majority of that committee felt that since the placement of κύριε in last place was the nonliturgical order it “would have been likely to be altered in transcription to the more familiar sequence” (TCGNT 44).

[21:8]  ⁸ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[21:30]  ⁹ tn “And he”; here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[21:30]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “And answering, he said.” This is somewhat redundant and has been simplified in the translation. Here δέ (de) has not been translated. Here the referent (“this boy”) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
