[5:17]  ¹ tn Grk “not come to abolish but to fulfill.” Direct objects (“these things,” “them”) were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context, but have been supplied here to conform to contemporary English style.

[9:11]  ² sn See the note on Pharisees in 3:7.

[9:11]  ³ sn The issue here is inappropriate associations. Jews were very careful about personal associations and contact as a matter of ritual cleanliness. Their question borders on an accusation that Jesus is ritually unclean.

[15:36]  ⁴ tn Grk “was giving them to the disciples, and the disciples to the crowd.”

[20:8]  ⁵ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[20:8]  ⁶ sn That is, six o’clock in the evening, the hour to pay day laborers. See Lev 19:13b.

[20:8]  ⁷ tc ‡ Most witnesses (including B D W Θ Ë^1,13 33^vid Ï latt sy) have αὐτοῖς (autois, “to them”) after ἀπόδος (apodos, “give the pay”), but this seems to be a motivated reading, clarifying the indirect object. The omission is supported by א C L Z 085 Or. Nevertheless, NA²⁷ includes the pronoun on the basis of the greater external attestation.

[21:12]  ⁸ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[21:12]  ⁹ tn Grk “the temple.”

[21:12]  sn The merchants (those who were selling) would have been located in the Court of the Gentiles.

[21:12]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “the temple.”

[21:12]  sn Matthew (here, 21:12-27), Mark (11:15-19) and Luke (19:45-46) record this incident of the temple cleansing at the end of Jesus’ ministry. John (2:13-16) records a cleansing of the temple at the beginning of Jesus’ ministry. See the note on the word temple courts in John 2:14 for a discussion of the relationship of these accounts to one another.

[26:26]  ¹¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[27:54]  ¹² sn See the note on the word centurion in Matt 8:5.
