[13:16]  ¹ sn This beatitude highlights the great honor bestowed on the disciples to share in this salvation.

[19:20]  ² tn Grk “kept.” The implication of this verb is that the man has obeyed the commandments without fail, so the adverb “wholeheartedly” has been added to the translation to bring out this nuance.

[19:20]  ³ tn Grk “these things.” The referent of the pronoun (the laws mentioned by Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[27:41]  ⁹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

[27:41]  ¹⁰ tn Or “with the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 2:4.

[27:41]  ¹¹ tn Only “chief priests” is in the nominative case; this sentence structure attempts to capture this emphasis.

[27:41]  ¹² tn Grk “Mocking him, the chief priests…said.”
