[1:56]  ¹ tn Grk “And.” Here (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the conclusion of the topic.

[1:56]  ² tn Grk “her”; the referent (Elizabeth) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[1:56]  ³ sn As is typical with Luke the timing is approximate (about three months), not specific.

[15:26]  ⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the result of the older son hearing the noise of the celebration in progress.

[15:26]  ⁵ tn The Greek term here, παῖς (pais), describes a slave, possibly a household servant regarded with some affection (L&N 87.77).

[23:20]  ⁶ sn The account pictures a battle of wills – the people versus Pilate. Pilate is consistently portrayed in Luke’s account as wanting to release Jesus because he believed him to be innocent.
