[1:2]  ¹ tn Grk “fathered.”

[3:5]  ² tn Grk “Then Jerusalem.”

[3:5]  map For location see Map5 B1; Map6 F3; Map7 E2; Map8 F2; Map10 B3; JP1 F4; JP2 F4; JP3 F4; JP4 F4.

[4:13]  ³ map For location see Map1 D3; Map2 C2; Map3 D5; Map4 C1; Map5 G3.

[4:13]  ⁴ tn Grk “and leaving Nazareth, he came and took up residence in Capernaum.”

[4:13]  sn Capernaum was a town located on the northwestern shore of the Sea of Galilee, 680 ft (204 m) below sea level. It was a major trade and economic center in the North Galilean region, and it became the hub of operations for Jesus’ Galilean ministry.

[4:13]  map For location see Map1 D2; Map2 C3; Map3 B2.

[4:13]  ⁵ tn Or “by the lake.”

[4:13]  sn By the sea refers to the Sea of Galilee.

[12:48]  ⁶ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[12:48]  ⁷ tn Grk “And answering, he said to the one who had said this.” This construction is somewhat redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation. Here δέ (de) at the beginning of the clause has not been translated.

[14:25]  ⁸ tn Grk “In the fourth watch of the night,” that is, between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m.

[14:25]  ⁹ tn Or “on the lake.”

[15:24]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “And answering, he said.” The construction in Greek is somewhat redundant and has been simplified in the translation. Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the disciples’ request.

[18:22]  ¹¹ tn Or “seventy times seven,” i.e., an unlimited number of times. See L&N 60.74 and 60.77 for the two possible translations of the phrase.

[19:20]  ¹² tn Grk “kept.” The implication of this verb is that the man has obeyed the commandments without fail, so the adverb “wholeheartedly” has been added to the translation to bring out this nuance.

[19:20]  ¹³ tn Grk “these things.” The referent of the pronoun (the laws mentioned by Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[19:20]  sn While the rich man was probably being sincere when he insisted I have wholeheartedly obeyed all these laws, he had confined his righteousness to external obedience. The rich man’s response to Jesus’ command – to give away all he had – revealed that internally he loved money more than God.

[21:7]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “garments”; but this refers in context to their outer cloaks. The action is like 2 Kgs 9:13.

[24:40]  ¹⁵ sn There is debate among commentators and scholars over the phrase one will be taken and one left about whether one is taken for judgment or for salvation. If the imagery is patterned after the rescue of Noah from the flood, as some suggest, the ones taken are the saved (as Noah was) andthose left behind are judged. The imagery, however, is not directly tied to theidentification of the two groups. Its primary purposein context is topicture the sudden, surprisingseparation of the righteous and the judged (i.e., condemned) at the return of the Son of Man.

[27:41]  ¹⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

[27:41]  ¹⁷ tn Or “with the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 2:4.

[27:41]  ¹⁸ tn Only “chief priests” is in the nominative case; this sentence structure attempts to capture this emphasis.

[27:41]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “Mocking him, the chief priests…said.”

[27:53]  ²⁰ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.
