[12:11]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast.

[12:11]  ² sn They did not love their lives. See Matt 16:25; Luke 17:33; John 12:25.

[17:6]  ³ tn Or “of the witnesses to Jesus.” Here the genitive ᾿Ιησοῦ (Ihsou) is taken as an objective genitive; Jesus is the object of their testimony.

[17:6]  ⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[17:6]  ⁵ tn Grk “I marveled a great marvel” (an idiom for great astonishment).
