[3:15]  ¹ tn Grk “but Jesus, answering, said.” This construction with passive participle and finite verb is pleonastic (redundant) and has been simplified in the translation to “replied to him.”

[3:15]  ² tn Grk “Permit now.”

[3:15]  ³ tn Grk “he”; the referent (John the Baptist) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[3:15]  ⁴ tn Or “permitted him.”

[6:7]  ⁵ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[7:2]  ⁶ tn Grk “by [the measure] with which you measure it will be measured to you.”

[7:23]  ⁷ tn Grk “workers of lawlessness.”

[9:28]  ⁸ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[9:28]  ⁹ tn Grk “to him, and Jesus.” This is a continuation of the previous sentence in Greek, but a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[13:28]  ¹⁰ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the owner’s statement.

[27:22]  ¹¹ tn Or “Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”

[27:22]  sn See the note on Christ in 1:16.

[27:22]  ¹² tn Grk “Him – be crucified!” The third person imperative is difficult to translate because English has no corresponding third person form for the imperative. The traditional translation “Let him be crucified” sounds as if the crowd is giving consent or permission. “He must be crucified” is closer, but it is more natural in English to convert the passive to active and simply say “Crucify him.”

[27:22]  sn See the note on crucified in 20:19.
