[15:10]  ¹ tn Grk “And calling the crowd, he said to them.” The participle προσκαλεσάμενος (proskalesamenos) has been translated as attendant circumstance. The emphasis here is upon Jesus’ speaking to the crowd.

[15:15]  ² tn Grk “And answering, Peter said to him.” This construction is somewhat redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation.

[23:11]  ³ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
