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

[8:27]  ² map Fpr location see Map1 C1; Map2 F4.

[8:27]  ³ tn Grk “he asked his disciples, saying to them.” The phrase λέγων αὐτοῖς (legwn autois) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[15:1]  ⁴ tn Or “and the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 1:22.

[15:1]  ⁵ sn The Jews most assuredly wanted to put Jesus to death, but they lacked the authority to do so. For this reason they handed him over to Pilate in hopes of securing a death sentence. The Romans kept close control of the death penalty in conquered territories to prevent it being used to execute Roman sympathizers.
