[18:25]  ¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[18:25]  ² tn The word “it” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

[18:25]  ³ tn Grk “and his wife.”

[20:28]  ⁴ sn The Greek word for ransom (λύτρον, lutron) is found here and in Mark 10:45 and refers to the payment of a price in order to purchase the freedom of a slave.

[22:38]  ⁵ tn Grk “the great and first.”
