[6:22]  ¹ tn Or “sound” (so L&N 23.132 and most scholars). A few scholars take this word to mean something like “generous” here (L&N 57.107). partly due to the immediate context concerning money, in which case the “eye” is a metonymy for the entire person (“if you are generous”).

[10:34]  ² tn Grk “cast.” For βάλλω (ballw) in the sense of causing a state or condition, see L&N 13.14.

[14:17]  ³ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[15:13]  ⁴ tn Grk “And answering, he said.”

[20:14]  ⁵ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[20:14]  ⁶ tn Grk “this last one,” translated as “this last man” because field laborers in 1st century Palestine were men.

[22:29]  ⁷ tn Grk “And answering, Jesus said to them.” This is somewhat redundant and has been simplified in the translation.

[22:29]  ⁸ tn Or “mistaken” (cf. BDAG 822 s.v. πλανάω 2.c.γ).

[22:40]  ⁹ tn Grk “hang.” The verb κρεμάννυμι (kremannumi) is used here with a figurative meaning (cf. BDAG 566 s.v. 2.b).

[24:33]  ¹⁰ tn The verb γινώσκετε (ginwskete, “know”) can be parsed as either present indicative or present imperative. In this context the imperative fits better, since the movement is from analogy (trees and seasons) to the future (the signs of the coming of the kingdom) and since the emphasis is on preparation for this event.
