[5:25]  ¹ tn Grk “Make friends.”

[5:25]  ² tn The words “to court” are not in the Greek text but are implied.

[5:25]  ³ tn Grk “the accuser.”

[9:15]  ⁴ tn Grk “sons of the wedding hall,” an idiom referring to wedding guests, or more specifically friends of the bridegroom present at the wedding celebration (L&N 11.7).

[9:15]  ⁵ sn The expression while the bridegroom is with them is an allusion to messianic times (John 3:29; Isa 54:5-6; 62:4-5; 4 Ezra 2:15, 38).

[9:15]  ⁶ tn Grk “days.”

[9:15]  ⁷ sn The statement the bridegroom will be taken from them is a veiled allusion by Jesus to his death, which he did not make explicit until the incident at Caesarea Philippi in 16:13ff.

[17:25]  ⁸ tn Grk “spoke first to him, saying.” The participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant in English and has not been translated.

[17:25]  ⁹ sn The phrase their sons may mean “their citizens,” but the term “sons” has been retained here in order to preserve the implicit comparison between the Father and his Son, Jesus.

[18:17]  ¹⁰ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[18:17]  ¹¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[18:17]  ¹² tn Grk “let him be to you as.”

[18:17]  ¹³ tn Or “a pagan.”

[18:17]  ¹⁴ sn To treat him like a Gentile or a tax collector means not to associate with such a person. See the note on tax collectors in 5:46.

[23:35]  ¹⁵ sn Spelling of this name (Βαραχίου, Baraciou) varies among the English versions: “Barachiah” (RSV, NRSV); “Berechiah” (NASB); “Berachiah” (NIV).

[26:39]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “ground, praying and saying.” Here the participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[26:39]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “if it is possible.”

[26:39]  ¹⁸ sn This cup alludes to the wrath of God that Jesus would experience (in the form of suffering and death) for us. See Ps 11:6; 75:8-9; Isa 51:17, 19, 22 for this figure.

[26:55]  ¹⁹ tn Or “a revolutionary.” This term can refer to one who stirs up rebellion: BDAG 594 s.v. λῃστής 2 has “revolutionary, insurrectionist, guerrilla” citing evidence from Josephus (J. W. 2.13.2-3 [2.253-254]). However, this usage generally postdates Jesus’ time. It does refer to a figure of violence. Luke uses the same term for the highwaymen who attack the traveler in the parable of the good Samaritan (Luke 10:30).

[26:55]  ²⁰ tn Grk “and” (καί, kai), a conjunction that is elastic enough to be used to indicate a contrast, as here.
