[5:7]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate consequential nature of the action.

[5:7]  ² tn That is, “they signaled by making gestures” (L&N 33.485).

[5:7]  ³ tn This infinitive conveys the idea that the boats were at the point of sinking.

[10:40]  ⁴ sn The term distracted means “to be pulled away” by something (L&N 25.238). It is a narrative comment that makes clear who is right in the account.

[10:40]  ⁵ tn Grk “with much serving.”

[10:40]  ⁶ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate that the following was a result of Martha’s distraction.

[10:40]  ⁷ tn The negative οὐ (ou) used with the verb expects a positive reply. Martha expected Jesus to respond and rebuke Mary.

[10:40]  ⁸ tn Grk “has left me to serve alone.”

[10:40]  ⁹ tn The conjunction οὖν (oun, “then, therefore”) has not been translated here.
