[3:15]  ¹ tn Grk “but Jesus, answering, said.” This construction with passive participle and finite verb is pleonastic (redundant) and has been simplified in the translation to “replied to him.”

[3:15]  ² tn Grk “Permit now.”

[3:15]  ³ tn Grk “he”; the referent (John the Baptist) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[3:15]  ⁴ tn Or “permitted him.”

[9:36]  ⁵ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[9:36]  ⁶ tn Or “because they had been bewildered and helpless.” The translational issue is whether the perfect participles are predicate (as in the text) or are pluperfect periphrastic (the alternate translation). If the latter, the implication would seem to be that the crowds had been in such a state until the Great Shepherd arrived.

[10:16]  ⁷ tn Grk “Behold I.” The Greek word ἰδού (idou) has not been translated because it has no exact English equivalent here, but adds interest and emphasis (BDAG 468 s.v. 1).

[10:16]  ⁸ sn This imagery of wolves is found in intertestamental Judaism; see Pss. Sol. 8:23, 30.

[11:16]  ⁹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[11:16]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “who call out to one another, saying.” The participle λέγουσιν (legousin) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[15:5]  ¹¹ tn Grk “is a gift,” that is, something dedicated to God.

[19:5]  ¹² sn A quotation from Gen 2:24.

[22:21]  ¹³ tn Grk “they said to him.”

[22:21]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “then he said to them.” τότε (tote) has not been translated to avoid redundancy.

[22:21]  ¹⁵ sn Jesus’ answer to give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s was a both/and, not the questioners’ either/or. So he slipped out of their trap.

[26:56]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “But so that”; the verb “has happened” is implied.
