23:46 Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” ⁸  And after he said this he breathed his last.

[1:18]  ¹ tn Grk “And Zechariah.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[1:18]  ² tn Grk “How will I know this?”

[1:18]  ³ tn Grk “is advanced in days” (an idiom for old age).

[18:29]  ⁴ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[18:29]  ⁵ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[18:29]  ⁶ tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”

[18:29]  ⁷ tn The term “brothers” could be understood as generic here, referring to either male or female siblings. However, it is noteworthy that in the parallel passages in both Matt 19:29 and Mark 10:29, “sisters” are explicitly mentioned in the Greek text.

[23:46]  ⁸ sn A quotation from Ps 31:5. It is a psalm of trust. The righteous, innocent sufferer trusts in God. Luke does not have the cry of pain from Ps 22:1 (cf. Matt 27:46; Mark 15:34), but notes Jesus’ trust instead.
