[7:3]  ¹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (the centurion) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[7:3]  ² tn The participle ἀκούσας (akousas) has been taken temporally.

[7:3]  ³ sn Why some Jewish elders are sent as emissaries is not entirely clear, but the centurion was probably respecting ethnic boundaries, which were important in ancient Greco-Roman and Jewish culture. The parallel account in Matt 8:5-13 does not mention the emissaries.

[7:3]  ⁴ tn The participle ἐλθών (elqwn) has been translated as an infinitive in parallel with διασώσῃ (diaswsh) due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[10:17]  ⁵ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[10:17]  ⁶ tc See the tc note on the number “seventy-two” in Luke 10:1.

[10:17]  ⁷ tn Or “the demons obey”; see L&N 36.18.

[10:17]  ⁸ tn The prepositional phrase “in your name” indicates the sphere of authority for the messengers’ work of exorcism.

[11:36]  ⁹ tn This is a first class condition in the Greek text, so the example ends on a hopeful, positive note.

[11:36]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “Therefore”; the same conjunction as at the beginning of v. 35, but since it indicates a further inference or conclusion, it has been translated “then” here.

[11:36]  ¹¹ tn Grk “not having any part dark.”

[11:36]  ¹² tn Grk “it will be completely illumined as when a lamp illumines you with its rays.”

[16:23]  ¹³ sn The Greek term Hades stands for the Hebrew concept of Sheol. It is what is called hell today. This is where the dead were gathered (Ps 16:10; 86:13). In the NT Hades has an additional negative force of awaiting judgment (Rev 20:13).

[16:23]  ¹⁴ sn Hades is a place of torment, especially as one knows that he is separated from God.

[16:23]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “he lifted up his eyes” (an idiom).

[16:23]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “in his bosom,” the same phrase used in 16:22. This idiom refers to heaven and/or participation in the eschatological banquet. An appropriate modern equivalent is “at Abraham’s side.”

[20:15]  ¹⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the tenants’ decision to kill the son.

[20:15]  ¹⁸ sn Throwing the heir out of the vineyard pictures Jesus’ death outside of Jerusalem.
