[17:12] 1 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.
[21:35] 2 sn The image of the tenants mistreating the owner’s slaves pictures the nation’s rejection of the prophets and their message.
[22:3] 3 tn See the note on the word “slave” in 8:9.
[22:4] 4 tn Grk “Behold, I have prepared my dinner.” In some contexts, however, to translate ἄριστον (ariston) as “dinner” somewhat misses the point. L&N 23.22 here suggests, “See now, the feast I have prepared (for you is ready).”
[22:6] 5 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
[23:34] 6 tn Grk “behold I am sending.” 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).
[23:34] 7 tn Or “scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 2:4.
[23:34] 8 sn See the note on crucified in 20:19.
[23:34] 9 tn BDAG 620 s.v. μαστιγόω 1.a states, “of flogging as a punishment decreed by the synagogue (Dt 25:2f; s. the Mishna Tractate Sanhedrin-Makkoth, edited w. notes by SKrauss ’33) w. acc. of pers. Mt 10:17; 23:34.”
[23:34] 10 sn See the note on synagogues in 4:23.
[23:35] 11 sn Spelling of this name (Βαραχίου, Baraciou) varies among the English versions: “Barachiah” (RSV, NRSV); “Berechiah” (NASB); “Berachiah” (NIV).
[23:36] 12 tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”
[23:36] 13 tn Grk “all these things will come on this generation.”
[23:2] 14 tn Grk “saying.” The participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.
[23:2] 15 tn Or “The scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 2:4.
[23:2] 16 sn See the note on Pharisees in 3:7.
[1:16] 17 tc There are three significant variant readings at this point in the text. Some
[1:16] 18 tn Or “Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”
[2:30] 19 tn Heb “Your sword devoured your prophets like a destroying lion.” However, the reference to the sword in this and many similar idioms is merely idiomatic for death by violent means.
[6:27] 20 tn Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of previous action(s) in the narrative.
[6:27] 21 tn Grk “his”; the referent (John the Baptist) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[6:29] 22 tn Grk “his”; the referent (John the Baptist) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[9:9] 23 tn Grk “John I beheaded”; John’s name is in emphatic position in the Greek text. The verb is causative, since Herod would not have personally carried out the execution.
[9:9] 24 tn The expression ἐζήτει ἰδεῖν αὐτόν (ezhtei idein auton, “was seeking to see him”) probably indicates that Herod, for curiosity’s sake or more likely for evil purposes, wanted to get to know Jesus, i.e., who he was and what he was doing. See I. H. Marshall, Luke (NIGTC), 357. Herod finally got his wish in Luke 23:6-12, with inconclusive results from his point of view.
[11:7] 25 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
[11:7] 26 tn Or “be victorious over”; traditionally, “overcome.”
