[8:2] 1 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] 2 tn Grk “a leper approaching, bowed low before him, saying.”
[8:2] 3 tn This is a third class condition. The report portrays the leper making no presumptions about whether Jesus will heal him or not.
[8:33] 4 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
[8:33] 5 tn Or “city.” But see the sn on “Gadarenes” in 8:28.
