[1:16]  ¹ tn Grk “And he.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[1:16]  ² sn The word translated will turn is a good summary term for repentance and denotes John’s call to a change of direction (Luke 3:1-14).

[1:16]  ³ tn Grk “sons”; but clearly this is a generic reference to people of both genders.

[12:12]  ⁴ tn Grk “in that very hour” (an idiom).

[12:12]  ⁵ tn Grk “what it is necessary to say.”

[12:31]  ⁶ tn Grk “seek,” but in the sense of the previous verses.

[12:31]  ⁷ tc Most mss (Ì⁴⁵ A D¹ Q W Θ 070 Ë^1,13 33 Ï lat sy) read τοῦ θεοῦ (tou qeou, “of God”) instead of αὐτοῦ (autou, “his”; found in א B D* L Ψ 579 892 pc co). But such a clarifying reading is suspect. αὐτοῦ is superior on both internal and external grounds. Ì⁷⁵ includes neither and as such would support the translation above since the article alone can often be translated as a possessive pronoun.

[12:31]  ⁸ sn His (that is, God’s) kingdom is a major theme of Jesus. It is a realm in which Jesus rules and to which those who trust him belong. See Luke 6:20; 11:20; 17:20-21.

[12:44]  ⁹ tn Grk “Truly (ἀληθῶς, alhqw"), I say to you.”

[12:44]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “he”; the referent (the master) has been specified in the translation for clarity. See also Luke 19:11-27.

[13:9]  ¹¹ tn This is a third class condition in the Greek text. The conjunction καί (kai, a component of κάν [kan]) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[13:9]  ¹² tn Grk “the coming [season].”

[13:9]  ¹³ tn The phrase “very well” is supplied in the translation to complete the elided idea, but its absence is telling.

[13:9]  ¹⁴ tn This is a first class condition in the Greek text, showing which of the options is assumed.

[21:17]  ¹⁵ sn See Luke 6:22, 27; 1 Cor 1:25-31.
