[10:23]  ¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[10:23]  ² tn The Greek word here is πόλις (polis), which can mean either “town” or “city.”

[10:23]  ³ tn Grk “For truly (ἀμήν, amhn) I say to you.” Here γάρ (gar, “for”) has not been translated.

[10:23]  ⁴ tn The Greek word here is πόλις (polis), which can mean either “town” or “city.” “Town” was chosen here to emphasize the extensive nature of the disciples’ ministry. The same word is translated earlier in the verse as “place.”

[16:27]  ⁵ sn An allusion to Pss 28:4; 62:12; cf. Prov 24:12.

[24:3]  ⁶ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[24:3]  ⁷ sn Because the phrase these things is plural, more than the temple’s destruction is in view. The question may presuppose that such a catastrophe signals the end.

[24:27]  ⁸ sn The Son of Man’s coming in power will be sudden and obvious like lightning. No one will need to point it out.

[24:37]  ⁹ sn Like the days of Noah, the time of the flood in Gen 6:5-8:22, the judgment will come as a surprise as people live their day to day lives.

[24:39]  ¹⁰ sn Like the flood that came and took them all away, the coming judgment associated with the Son of Man will condemn many.

[24:39]  ¹¹ tn Grk “So also will be the coming of the Son of Man.”

[26:64]  ¹² sn An allusion to Ps 110:1. This is a claim that Jesus shares authority with God in heaven. Those present may have thought they were his judges, but, in fact, the reverse was true.

[26:64]  ¹³ sn The expression the right hand of the Power is a circumlocution for referring to God. Such indirect references to God were common in 1st century Judaism out of reverence for the divine name.

[26:64]  ¹⁴ sn An allusion to Dan 7:13 (see also Matt 24:30).
