[10:40]  ¹ sn The one who sent me refers to God.

[11:16]  ² tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[11:16]  ³ tn Grk “who call out to one another, saying.” The participle λέγουσιν (legousin) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[12:47]  ³ tc A few ancient mss and versions lack this verse (א* B L Γ pc ff¹ k sy^s,c sa). The witness of א and B is especially strong, but internal considerations override this external evidence. Both v. 46 and 47 end with the word λαλῆσαι (“to speak”), so early scribes probably omitted the verse through homoioteleuton. The following verses make little sense without v. 47; its omission is too hard a reading. Thus v. 47 was most likely part of the original text.

[12:47]  ⁴ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[12:47]  ⁵ tn Grk “seeking.”

[19:16]  ⁴ tn Grk “And behold one came.” The Greek word ἰδού (idou) has not been translated because it has no exact English equivalent here, but adds interest and emphasis (BDAG 468 s.v. 1). Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.

[25:8]  ⁵ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[25:16]  ⁶ tn Grk “traded with them.”
