[21:23]  ⁵ tn Grk “he.”

[21:23]  ⁶ tn Grk “the temple.”

[21:23]  ⁷ tn On this phrase, see BDAG 844 s.v. ποῖος 2.a.γ.1

[26:47]  ⁹ tn Grk “behold, Judas.” 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).
