[14:5]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

[14:5]  ⁴ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Herod) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[14:5]  ⁵ tn Grk “him” (also in the following phrase, Grk “accepted him”); in both cases the referent (John) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[15:1]  ⁶ sn See the note on Pharisees in 3:7.

[15:1]  ⁷ tn Or “and the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 2:4.

[15:1]  ⁹ tn The participle λέγοντες (legontes) has been translated as a finite verb so that its telic (i.e., final or conclusive) force can be more easily detected: The Pharisees and legal experts came to Jesus in order to speak with him.

[17:10]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “asked him, saying.” The participle λέγοντες (legontes) is redundant and has not been translated.

[17:10]  ¹¹ tn Or “do the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 2:4.

[17:14]  ¹² tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

[20:3]  ¹³ tn Grk “about the third hour.”

[21:46]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “they”; the referent (the crowds) has been specified in the translation for clarity. Both previous occurrences of “they” in this verse refer to the chief priests and the Pharisees.

[22:7]  ¹⁵ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[22:7]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “he sent his soldiers, destroyed those murderers.” The verb ἀπώλεσεν (apwlesen) is causative, indicating that the king was the one behind the execution of the murderers. In English the causative idea is not expressed naturally here; either a purpose clause (“he sent his soldiers to put those murderers to death”) or a relative clause (“he sent his soldier who put those murderers to death”) is preferred.

[22:7]  ¹⁷ tn The Greek text reads here πόλις (polis), which could be translated “town” or “city.” The prophetic reference is to the city of Jerusalem, so “city” is more appropriate here.

[26:2]  ¹⁸ tn Or “will be delivered up.”

[26:2]  ¹⁹ sn See the note on crucified in 20:19.

[26:21]  ²⁰ tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”
