[1:8]  ¹ tn Grk “Now it happened that.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[1:8]  ² tn Grk “he”; the referent (Zechariah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[1:8]  ³ tn Grk “serving as priest in the order of his division before God.”

[1:8]  sn Zechariah’s division would be on duty twice a year for a week at a time.

[1:11]  ⁴ tn Grk “And an angel.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, δέ (de) has not been translated here.

[1:11]  ⁵ tn Or “the angel of the Lord.” Linguistically, “angel of the Lord” is the same in both testaments (and thus, he is either “an angel of the Lord” or “the angel of the Lord” in both testaments). For arguments and implications, see ExSyn 252; M. J. Davidson, “Angels,” DJG, 9; W. G. MacDonald argues for “an angel” in both testaments: “Christology and ‘The Angel of the Lord’,” Current Issues in Biblical and Patristic Interpretation, 324-35.

[1:11]  ⁶ sn This term is often used to describe a supernatural appearance (24:34; Acts 2:3; 7:2, 30, 35; 9:17; 13:31; 16:9; 26:16).

[1:21]  ⁷ tn Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.

[1:21]  ⁸ tn The imperfect verb ἐθαύμαζον (eqaumazon) has been translated as an ingressive imperfect.

[1:21]  ⁹ tn Or “temple.” See the note on the phrase “the holy place” in v. 9.

[4:33]  ¹⁰ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a specific example of how Jesus spoke with authority (v. 32).

[4:33]  ¹¹ sn See the note on synagogues in 4:15.

[4:33]  ¹² tn Grk “having an unclean, demonic spirit,” that is, an evil spirit. This is the only place Luke uses this lengthy phrase. Normally he simply says an “unclean spirit.”

[6:41]  ¹³ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[6:41]  ¹⁴ sn A speck (also twice in v. 42) refers to a small piece of wood, chaff, or straw (L&N 3.66).

[6:41]  ¹⁵ tn Or “do not notice.”

[6:41]  ¹⁶ sn The beam of wood (also twice in v. 42) refers to a big piece of wood, the main beam of a building, in contrast to the speck in the other’s eye (L&N 7.78).

[8:20]  ¹⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the sequence of events.

[8:40]  ¹⁸ tn This is a temporal infinitival clause in contrast to Mark’s genitive absolute (Mark 5:21).

[8:40]  sn Here the author notes that Jesus returned to the western shore of the Sea of Galilee after his brief excursion into Gentile territory (8:26-39; cf. also Mark 5:21).

[8:52]  ¹⁹ sn This group probably includes outside or even professional mourners, not just family, because a large group seems to be present.

[8:52]  ²⁰ tn Grk “beating the breasts” (in mourning); see L&N 52.1.

[11:45]  ²¹ sn That is, an expert in the interpretation of the Mosaic law. They worked closely with the Pharisees.

[11:45]  ²² tn For this term, see Matt 22;6; Luke 18:32; Acts 14:5; 1 Thess 2:2.

[14:16]  ²³ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[14:16]  ²⁴ tn Or “dinner.”

[14:16]  ²⁵ sn Presumably those invited would have sent a reply with the invitation stating their desire to attend, much like a modern R.S.V.P. Then they waited for the servant to announce the beginning of the celebration (D. L. Bock, Luke [BECNT], 2:1272).

[14:16]  ²⁶ tn The word “guests” is not in the Greek text but is implied.

[16:21]  ²⁷ tn Grk “to eat his fill,” but this phrase has been simplified as “to eat” for stylistic reasons.

[16:21]  ²⁸ tn The term κύνες (kunes) refers to “wild” dogs (either “street” dogs or watchdogs), not house pets (L&N 4.34).

[16:21]  ²⁹ sn When the dogs came and licked his sores it meant that he was unclean. See the negative image of Rev 22:15 that draws on this picture.

[19:31]  ³⁰ sn The custom called angaria allowed the impressment of animals for service to a significant figure.

[22:2]  ³¹ tn Grk “And the.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[22:2]  ³² tn Or “and the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 5:21.

[22:2]  ³³ tn Grk “were seeking how.”

[22:2]  ³⁴ tn The Greek verb here means “to get rid of by execution” (BDAG 64 s.v. ἀναιρέω 2; cf. also L&N 20.71, which states, “to get rid of someone by execution, often with legal or quasi-legal procedures”).

[22:2]  ³⁵ tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:2]  ³⁶ sn The suggestion here is that Jesus was too popular to openly arrest him. The verb were trying is imperfect. It suggests, in this context, that they were always considering the opportunities.

[22:49]  ³⁷ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[22:49]  ³⁸ tn The direct question using “if” in Greek is not unusual (BDF §440.3).

[22:49]  ³⁹ sn “Should we use our swords?” The disciples’ effort to defend Jesus recalls Luke 22:35-38. One individual did not wait for the answer.

[24:15]  ⁴⁰ tn Grk “And it happened that while.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated. Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[24:15]  ⁴¹ tn This term suggests emotional dialogue and can thus be translated “debated.”

[24:15]  ⁴² tn The phrase “these things” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context.
