NET Notes

¹tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

²tn Grk “they”; the referent (the disciples, v. 22) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

³tn Grk “answering, they said to him.” This is redundant in contemporary English and has been simplified in the translation.

⁴sn The question “Where, Lord?” means, “Where will the judgment take place?”

⁵tn Or “corpse.”

⁶tn The same Greek term can refer to “eagles” or “vultures” (L&N 4.42; BDAG 22 s.v. ἀετός), but in this context it must mean vultures, because the gruesome image is one of dead bodies being consumed by scavengers.

⁶sn Jesus’ answer is that when the judgment comes, the scenes of death will be obvious and so will the location of the judgment.

⁷tn Grk “will be gathered.” The passive construction has been translated as an active one in English.
