[1:25]  ¹ tn Or “did not have sexual relations”; Grk “was not knowing her.” The verb “know” (in both Hebrew and Greek) is a frequent biblical euphemism for sexual relations. However, a translation like “did not have sexual relations with her” is too graphic in light of the popularity and wide use of Matthew’s infancy narrative. Thus the somewhat more subdued but still clear “did not have marital relations” was selected.

[1:25]  ² tn Grk “and he called his name Jesus.” The coordinate clause has been translated as a relative clause in English for stylistic reasons.

[7:23]  ³ tn Grk “workers of lawlessness.”

[12:7]  ⁵ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[12:7]  ⁶ sn A quotation from Hos 6:6 (see also Matt 9:13).

[12:15]  ⁸ tc א B pc lat read only πολλοί (polloi, “many”) here, the first hand of N reads ὄχλοι (ocloi, “crowds”), while virtually all the rest of the witnesses have ὄχλοι πολλοί (ocloi polloi, “great crowds”). In spite of the good quality of both א and B (especially in combination), and the testimony of the Latin witnesses, the longer reading is most likely correct; the shorter readings were probably due to homoioteleuton.

[16:8]  ⁹ tn Or “becoming aware of it.”

[16:8]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “Those of little faith.”

[16:8]  ¹¹ tn Or “discussing.”
