[4:24]  ¹ tn Grk “by [the measure] with which you measure it will be measured to you.”

[8:15]  ³ tn Grk “was giving them orders, saying.” The participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant in English and has not been translated.

[12:40]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “who,” continuing the sentence begun in v. 38.

[13:5]  ¹² tn Or “Be on guard.”
