[28:3]  1 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[9:29]  2 tn Grk “And as.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[9:29]  3 tn Here the preposition ἐν (en) plus the dative articular aorist infinitive has been translated as a temporal clause (ExSyn 595).

[9:29]  4 tn Or “the appearance of his face became different.”

[9:29]  5 tn Or “became bright as a flash of lightning” (cf. BDAG 346 s.v. ἐξαστράπτω); or “became brilliant as light” (cf. BDAG 593 s.v. λευκός 1).

[6:15]  6 tn Grk “And all.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here.

[6:15]  7 tn Or “Sanhedrin” (the highest legal, legislative, and judicial body among the Jews).
