[7:7]  1 sn The three present imperatives in this verse (Ask…seek…knock) are probably intended to call for a repeated or continual approach before God.

[7:7]  2 tn Grk “it”; the referent (a door) is implied by the context and has been specified in the translation here and in v. 8 for clarity.

[10:19]  3 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[10:19]  4 tn Grk “how or what you might speak.”

[10:19]  5 tn Grk “in that hour.”

[13:12]  5 sn What he has will be taken from him. The meaning is that the one who accepts Jesus’ teaching concerning his person and the kingdom will receive a share in the kingdom now and even more in the future, but for the one who rejects Jesus’ words, the opportunity that that person presently possesses with respect to the kingdom will someday be taken away forever.

[16:4]  7 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[21:43]  9 tn Or “to a nation” (so KJV, NASB, NLT).

[25:29]  11 tn Grk “to everyone who has, he will be given more.”

[25:29]  12 sn The one who has nothing has even what he seems to have taken from him, ending up with no reward at all (see also Luke 8:18). The exact force of this is left ambiguous, but there is no comfort here for those who are pictured by the third slave as being totally unmoved by the master. Though not an outright enemy, there is no relationship to the master either.

[12:39]  13 tn Grk “But answering, he said to them.” This construction is somewhat redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation.
