[8:30]  ¹ tn Grk “And Jesus.” Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to pick up the sequence of the narrative prior to the parenthetical note by the author.

[8:30]  ³ sn The name Legion means “thousands,” a word taken from a Latin term for a large group of soldiers. The term not only suggests a multiple possession, but also adds a military feel to the account. This is a true battle.

[9:34]  ⁵ sn This cloud is the cloud of God’s presence and the voice is his as well.

[9:34]  ⁶ tn Or “appeared.”

[9:34]  ⁷ tn Or “surrounded.”

[23:3]  ¹⁴ sn “Are you the king of the Jews?” Pilate was interested only in the third charge, because of its political implications of sedition against Rome.

[23:3]  ¹⁵ sn The reply “You say so” is somewhat enigmatic, like Jesus’ earlier reply to the Jewish leadership in 22:70.

[24:28]  ¹⁶ sn He acted as though he wanted to go farther. This is written in a way that gives the impression Jesus knew they would ask him to stay.
