NET Notes

¹tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the transition to a new topic.

²tn Grk “behold.”

³tn Traditionally, “handmaid”; Grk “slave woman.” Though δούλη (doulh) is normally translated “woman servant,” the word does not bear the connotation of a free woman serving another. BDAG notes that “‘servant’ for ‘slave’ is largely confined to Biblical transl. and early American times… in normal usage at the present time the two words are carefully distinguished” (BDAG 260 s.v. δοῦλος). The most accurate translation is “bondservant,” sometimes found in the ASV for δοῦλος (doulos), in that it often indicates one who sells himself or herself into slavery to another. But as this is archaic, few today understand its force.

⁴tn Grk “let this be to me.”

⁵sn The remark according to your word is a sign of Mary’s total submission to God’s will, a response that makes her exemplary.

⁶tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.
