[2:8]  1 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

[7:21]  2 sn The double use of the vocative is normally used in situations of high emotion or emphasis. Even an emphatic confession without action means little.

[7:22]  3 tn Grk “and in your name do.” This phrase was not repeated here in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[9:9]  4 tn While “tax office” is sometimes given as a translation for τελώνιον (telwnion, so L&N 57.183), this could give the modern reader a false impression of an indoor office with all its associated furnishings.

[11:27]  5 sn This verse has been noted for its conceptual similarity to teaching in John’s Gospel (10:15; 17:2). The authority of the Son and the Father are totally intertwined.

[11:27]  6 tn Or “wishes”; or “intends”; or “plans” (cf. BDAG 182 s.v. βούλομαι 2.b). Here it is the Son who has sovereignty.

[16:24]  6 tn Grk “to come after me.”

[16:24]  7 tn This translation better expresses the force of the Greek third person imperative than the traditional “let him deny,” which could be understood as merely permissive.

[16:24]  8 sn To bear the cross means to accept the rejection of the world for turning to Jesus and following him. Discipleship involves a death that is like a crucifixion; see Gal 6:14.

[17:17]  7 tn Grk “And answering, Jesus said.” This is somewhat redundant and has been simplified in the translation.

[17:17]  8 tn Grk “O.” The marker of direct address, (w), is functionally equivalent to a vocative and is represented in the translation by “you.”

[17:17]  9 tn Or “faithless.”

[17:17]  10 tn Grk “how long.”

[17:17]  11 tn Or “put up with.” See Num 11:12; Isa 46:4.

[17:17]  12 sn The pronouns you…you are plural, indicating that Jesus is speaking to a group rather than an individual.

[19:21]  8 tn The words “the money” are not in the Greek text, but are implied. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

[19:21]  9 sn The call for sacrifice comes with a promise of eternal reward: You will have treasure in heaven. Jesus’ call is a test to see how responsive the man is to God’s direction through him. Will he walk the path God’s agent calls him to walk? For a rich person who got it right, see Zacchaeus in Luke 19:1-10.

[21:24]  9 tn Grk “answering, Jesus said to them.” This is somewhat redundant and has been simplified in the translation. Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[25:20]  10 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

[25:20]  11 tn Grk Or “Lord; or “Master” (and so throughout this paragraph).
