[8:2]  ³ tn Grk “And behold, a leper came.” 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).

[8:2]  ⁴ tn Grk “a leper approaching, bowed low before him, saying.”

[8:2]  ⁵ tn This is a third class condition. The report portrays the leper making no presumptions about whether Jesus will heal him or not.

[8:19]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then.”

[8:19]  ⁶ tn Or “a scribe.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 2:4.

His faith is exemplary, especially for someone who was a member of the council that handed Jesus over for crucifixion (cf. Mark 15:43, Luke 23:51). He did this because he sought to give Jesus an honorable burial.
