11:51 from the blood of Abel ⁴  to the blood of Zechariah, ⁵  who was killed ⁶  between the altar and the sanctuary. ⁷  Yes, I tell you, it will be charged against ⁸  this generation.

[22:20]  ¹ tn The words “he took” are not in the Greek text at this point, but are an understood repetition from v. 19.

[22:20]  ² tn The phrase “after they had eaten” translates the temporal infinitive construction μετὰ τὸ δειπνῆσαι (meta to deipnhsai), where the verb δειπνέω (deipnew) means “to eat a meal” or “to have a meal.”

[11:51]  ⁸ tn Or “required from.”
