Matthew 28:11

The Guards’ Report

28:11 While ⁴  they were going, some ⁵  of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests everything that had happened.

[19:1]  ¹ tn Grk “it happened when.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[19:1]  ² tn “River” is not in the Greek text but is supplied for clarity. The region referred to here is sometimes known as Transjordan (i.e., “across the Jordan”).

[26:53]  ³ sn A legion was a Roman army unit of about 6,000 soldiers, so twelve legions would be 72,000.

[28:11]  ⁵ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[28:11]  ⁶ tn Grk “behold, some of the guard.” 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).
