[3:31]  ¹ tn Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[3:31]  ² tn Grk “his”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

Nothing in the text suggests any of this. See also John 7:3.

[6:53]  ⁵ sn Gennesaret was a fertile plain south of Capernaum (see also Matt 14:34). This name was also sometimes used for the Sea of Galilee (Luke 5:1).

[14:53]  ⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[14:53]  ⁷ tn Or “and scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 1:22.
