[6:17]  ¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[11:3]  ² sn Aspects of Jesus’ ministry may have led John to question whether Jesus was the promised stronger and greater one who is to come that he had preached about in Matt 3:1-12.

[27:11]  ³ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[27:11]  ⁴ tn Grk “asked him, saying.” The participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[27:11]  ⁵ sn “Are you the king of the Jews?” Pilate was interested in this charge because of its political implications of sedition against Rome.

[27:11]  ⁶ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[27:11]  ⁷ sn The reply “You say so” is somewhat enigmatic, like Jesus’ earlier reply to the Jewish leadership in 26:64.

[16:16]  ⁴ tn Grk “And answering, Simon Peter said.”

[16:16]  ⁵ tn Or “Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”

[3:14]  ⁵ tc ‡ The earliest mss (א* B sa) lack the name of John here (“but he tried to prevent him,” instead of “but John tried to prevent him”). It is, however, clearly implied (and is thus supplied in translation). Although the longer reading has excellent support (Ì⁹⁶ א¹ C D^s L W 0233 0250 Ë^1,13 33 Ï lat[t] sy mae bo), it looks to be a motivated and predictable reading: Scribes apparently could not resist adding this clarification.

[3:14]  ⁶ tn The imperfect verb has been translated conatively.

[14:28]  ⁶ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[14:28]  ⁷ tn Grk “answering him, Peter said.” The participle ἀποκριθείς (apokriqeis) is redundant and has not been translated.

[26:25]  ⁷ tn Grk “answering, Judas.” This is somewhat redundant and has been simplified in the translation. Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to reflect the sequence of events in the narrative.

[26:25]  ⁸ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[26:69]  ⁸ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

[26:69]  ⁹ tn The Greek term here is παιδίσκη (paidiskh), referring to a slave girl or slave woman.

[2:6]  ⁹ sn A quotation from Mic 5:2.

[11:23]  ¹⁰ sn Capernaum was a town on the northwest shore of the Sea of Galilee, 680 ft (204 m) below sea level. It was a major trade and economic center in the North Galilean region.

[11:23]  ¹¹ tn The interrogative particle introducing this question expects a negative reply.

[11:23]  ¹² sn In the OT, Hades was known as Sheol. It is the place where the unrighteous will reside (Luke 10:15; 16:23; Rev 20:13-14).

[16:18]  ¹¹ tn Or “and the power of death” (taking the reference to the gates of Hades as a metonymy).

[26:39]  ¹² tn Grk “ground, praying and saying.” Here the participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[26:39]  ¹³ tn Grk “if it is possible.”

[26:39]  ¹⁴ sn This cup alludes to the wrath of God that Jesus would experience (in the form of suffering and death) for us. See Ps 11:6; 75:8-9; Isa 51:17, 19, 22 for this figure.

[26:63]  ¹³ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

[26:63]  ¹⁴ tn Or “Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”

[26:64]  ¹⁴ sn An allusion to Ps 110:1. This is a claim that Jesus shares authority with God in heaven. Those present may have thought they were his judges, but, in fact, the reverse was true.

[26:64]  ¹⁵ sn The expression the right hand of the Power is a circumlocution for referring to God. Such indirect references to God were common in 1st century Judaism out of reverence for the divine name.

[26:64]  ¹⁶ sn An allusion to Dan 7:13 (see also Matt 24:30).

[26:73]  ¹⁵ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[26:73]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “your speech.”

[6:6]  ¹⁶ sn The term translated room refers to the inner room of a house, normally without any windows opening outside, the most private location possible (BDAG 988 s.v. ταμεῖον 2).
