[1:69]  ¹ tn Grk “and,” but specifying the reason for the praise in the psalm.

[1:69]  ² sn The phrase raised up means for God to bring someone significant onto the scene of history.

[1:69]  ³ sn The horn of salvation is a figure that refers to the power of Messiah and his ability to protect, as the horn refers to what an animal uses to attack and defend (Ps 75:4-5, 10; 148:14; 2 Sam 22:3). Thus the meaning of the figure is “a powerful savior.”

[1:69]  ⁴ sn In the house of his servant David is a reference to Messiah’s Davidic descent. Zechariah is more interested in Jesus than his own son John at this point.

[1:79]  ⁵ sn On the phrases who sit in darkness…and…death see Isa 9:1-2; 42:7; 49:9-10.

[15:15]  ⁹ tn Grk “joined himself to” (in this case an idiom for beginning to work for someone).

[15:15]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “and he.” Here the conjunction καί (kai) and the personal pronoun have been translated by a relative pronoun to improve the English style.

[15:15]  ¹¹ sn To a Jew, being sent to the field to feed pigs would be an insult, since pigs were considered unclean animals (Lev 11:7).

[19:16]  ¹² tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the royal summons.

[19:16]  ¹³ tn Or “Lord”; or “Master.” (and so throughout this paragraph).

[19:16]  ¹⁴ tn See the note on the word “minas” in v. 13.
