13:17 For I tell you the truth, ⁷  many prophets and righteous people longed to see ⁸  what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.

[11:13]  ¹ tn The word “appeared” is not in the Greek text, but is implied.

[22:40]  ² tn Grk “hang.” The verb κρεμάννυμι (kremannumi) is used here with a figurative meaning (cf. BDAG 566 s.v. 2.b).

[7:12]  ³ tn Grk “Therefore in.” Here οὖν (oun) has not been translated.

[7:12]  ⁴ tn This is a generic use of ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo"), referring to both males and females.

[7:12]  ⁵ sn Jesus’ teaching as reflected in the phrase treat others as you would want them to treat you, known generally as the Golden Rule, is not completely unique in the ancient world, but here it is stated in its most emphatic, selfless form.

[7:12]  ⁶ tn Grk “is.”

[13:17]  ⁴ tn Grk “truly (ἀμήν, amhn) I say to you.”

[13:17]  ⁵ sn This is what past prophets and righteous people had wanted very much to see, yet the fulfillment had come to the disciples. This remark is like 1 Pet 1:10-12 or Heb 1:1-2.
