[25:21]  ¹ tn Grk “His master said to him.”

[19:17]  ² tn Grk “he”; the referent (the nobleman of v. 12, now a king) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[19:17]  ³ tn See Luke 16:10.

[19:17]  ⁴ sn The faithful slave received expanded responsibility (authority over ten cities) as a result of his faithfulness; this in turn is an exhortation to faithfulness for the reader.
