[6:12]  ¹ tn Or “as even we.” The phrase ὡς καὶ ἡμεῖς (Jw" kai Jhmei") makes ἡμεῖς emphatic. The translation above adds an appropriate emphasis to the passage.

[6:11]  ² tn Or “Give us bread today for the coming day,” or “Give us today the bread we need for today.” The term ἐπιούσιος (epiousio") does not occur outside of early Christian literature (other occurrences are in Luke 11:3 and Didache 8:2), so its meaning is difficult to determine. Various suggestions include “daily,” “the coming day,” and “for existence.” See BDAG 376-77 s.v.; L&N 67:183, 206.

[6:9]  ³ sn Pray this way. What follows, although traditionally known as the Lord’s prayer, is really the disciples’ prayer. It represents how they are to approach God, by acknowledging his uniqueness and their need for his provision and protection.

[6:9]  ⁴ sn God is addressed in terms of intimacy (Father). The original Semitic term here was probably Abba. The term is a little unusual in a personal prayer, especially as it lacks qualification. It is not the exact equivalent of “daddy” (as is sometimes popularly suggested), but it does suggest a close, familial relationship.

[6:9]  ⁵ tn Grk “hallowed be your name.”

[27:25]  ⁴ tn Grk “answering, all the people said.” This construction is somewhat redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation.

[28:13]  ⁵ tn Grk “him.”

[8:17]  ⁶ tn Grk “was fulfilled, saying.” The participle λέγοντος (legontos) is redundant and has not been translated.

[8:17]  ⁷ sn A quotation from Isa 53:4.

[15:23]  ⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “Then.”

[15:23]  ⁸ tn Grk “asked him, saying.” The participle λέγοντες (legontes) is redundant here in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[23:30]  ⁸ tn Grk “fathers” (so also in v. 32).

[25:8]  ⁹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[1:23]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “they will call his name.”

[1:23]  ¹¹ sn A quotation from Isa 7:14.

[1:23]  ¹² tn Grk “is translated.”

[1:23]  ¹³ sn An allusion to Isa 8:8, 10 (LXX).

[21:42]  ¹¹ tn Or “capstone,” “keystone.” Although these meanings are lexically possible, the imagery in Eph 2:20-22 and 1 Cor 3:11 indicates that the term κεφαλὴ γωνίας (kefalh gwnia") refers to a cornerstone, not a capstone.

[21:42]  ¹² sn A quotation from Ps 118:22-23.
