[8:31]  ¹ tn Grk “asked him, saying.” The participle λέγοντες (legontes) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[10:5]  ² tn Grk “instructing them, saying.”

[10:5]  ³ tn Grk “on the road of the Gentiles.” That is, a path that leads to Gentile regions.

[10:5]  ⁴ tn Grk “town [or city] of the Samaritans.”

[10:16]  ³ tn Grk “Behold I.” 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).

[10:16]  ⁴ sn This imagery of wolves is found in intertestamental Judaism; see Pss. Sol. 8:23, 30.

[13:41]  ⁴ tn Grk “the ones who practice lawlessness.”

[14:35]  ⁵ tn Grk “men”; the word here (ἀνήρ, anhr) usually indicates males or husbands, but occasionally is used in a generic sense of people in general, as here (cf. BDAG 79 s.v. 1.a, 2).

[21:1]  ⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.

[21:1]  ⁹ sn “Mountain” in English generally denotes a higher elevation than it often does in reference to places in Palestine. The Mount of Olives is really a ridge running north to south about 3 kilometers (1.8 miles) long, east of Jerusalem across the Kidron Valley. Its central elevation is about 30 meters (100 ft) higher than Jerusalem. It was named for the large number of olive trees which grew on it.

[21:3]  ⁷ sn The custom called angaria allowed the impressment of animals for service to a significant figure.
