[4:16]  ¹ sn A quotation from Isa 9:1.

[11:5]  ² tn Grk “and the,” but καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more. Two other conjunctions are omitted in this series.

[12:2]  ³ sn See the note on Pharisees in 3:7.

[12:22]  ⁴ tn Grk “And he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[12:22]  ⁵ tn Grk “demoniac, and he healed him, so that the mute man spoke and saw.”

[23:27]  ⁶ tn Or “scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 2:4.

[23:27]  ⁷ sn This was an idiom for hypocrisy – just as the wall was painted on the outside but something different on the inside, so this person was not what he appeared or pretended to be (for discussion of a similar metaphor, see L&N 88.234; BDAG 1010 s.v. τοῖχος). See Deut 28:22; Ezek 13:10-16; Acts 23:3.

[24:2]  ⁸ tn Grk “answering, he said to them.” The participle ἀποκριθείς (ajpokriqei") is redundant in English and has not been translated.

[24:2]  ⁹ tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”

[24:2]  ¹⁰ sn With the statement not one stone will be left on another Jesus predicted the total destruction of the temple, something that did occur in a.d. 70.

[24:2]  ¹¹ tn Grk “not one stone will be left here on another which will not be thrown down.”

[25:37]  ¹² tn Grk “answer him, saying.” The participle λέγοντες (legontes) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[25:38]  ¹³ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[25:44]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “Then they will answer, saying.” The participle λέγοντες (legontes) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[26:64]  ¹⁵ sn An allusion to Ps 110:1. This is a claim that Jesus shares authority with God in heaven. Those present may have thought they were his judges, but, in fact, the reverse was true.

[26:64]  ¹⁶ sn The expression the right hand of the Power is a circumlocution for referring to God. Such indirect references to God were common in 1st century Judaism out of reverence for the divine name.

[26:64]  ¹⁷ sn An allusion to Dan 7:13 (see also Matt 24:30).

[27:54]  ¹⁸ sn See the note on the word centurion in Matt 8:5.
