[9:21]  ¹ tn The imperfect verb is here taken iteratively, for the context suggests that the woman was trying to find the courage to touch Jesus’ cloak.

[9:21]  ² tn Grk “saved.”

[9:21]  sn In this pericope the author uses a term for being healed (Grk “saved”) that would have spiritual significance to his readers.

[20:27]  ³ tn See the note on the word “slave” in 8:9.

[22:45]  ⁴ tn Grk “how is he his son?”
