[2:9]  ¹ tn Grk “and behold the star.”

[2:9]  ² tn See the note on the word “rose” in 2:2.

[5:33]  ³ tn Grk “the ancient ones.”

[5:33]  ⁴ sn A quotation from Lev 19:12.

[8:13]  ⁵ tc ‡ Most mss read αὐτοῦ (autou, “his”) after “servant.” It is unlikely that the pronoun was accidentally overlooked by such diverse witnesses as א B 0250 0281 ˹ 33 latt. More likely is the probability that Western, Byzantine, and some other scribes added the word for clarification (so C L W Θ 0233 ˹³ Ï sy sa). NA²⁷ has the pronoun in brackets, indicating doubts as to its authenticity.

[9:13]  ⁶ sn A quotation from Hos 6:6 (see also Matt 12:7).

[13:12]  ⁷ sn What he has will be taken from him. The meaning is that the one who accepts Jesus’ teaching concerning his person and the kingdom will receive a share in the kingdom now and even more in the future, but for the one who rejects Jesus’ words, the opportunity that that person presently possesses with respect to the kingdom will someday be taken away forever.

[15:28]  ⁸ tn Grk “Then answering, Jesus said to her.” This expression has been simplified in the translation.

[15:28]  ⁹ sn Woman was a polite form of address (see BDAG 208-9 s.v. γυνή 1), similar to “Madam” or “Ma’am” used in English in different regions.

[16:23]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “people.”

[24:15]  ¹¹ sn The reference to the abomination of desolation is an allusion to Dan 9:27. Though some have seen the fulfillment of Daniel’s prophecy in the actions of Antiochus IV (or a representative of his) in 167 b.c., the words of Jesus seem to indicate that Antiochus was not the final fulfillment, but that there was (from Jesus’ perspective) still another fulfillment yet to come. Some argue that this was realized in a.d. 70, while others claim that it refers specifically to Antichrist and will not be fully realized until the period of the great tribulation at the end of the age (cf. Mark 13:14, 19, 24; Rev 3:10).

[26:58]  ¹² tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

[26:58]  ¹³ sn The guards would have been the guards of the chief priests who had accompanied Judas to arrest Jesus.

[26:75]  ¹⁴ sn When Peter went out and wept bitterly it shows he really did not want to fail here and was deeply grieved that he had.

[27:9]  ¹⁵ tc The problematic citing of Jeremiah for a text which appears to come from Zechariah has prompted certain scribes to alter it. Codex 22 has Ζαχαρίου (Zacariou, “Zechariah”) while Φ 33 omit the prophet’s name altogether. And codex 21 and the Latin ms l change the prophet’s name to “Isaiah,” in accordance with natural scribal proclivities to alter the text toward the most prominent OT prophet. But unquestionably the name Jeremiah is the wording of the original here, because it is supported by virtually all witnesses and because it is the harder reading. See D. A. Carson, “Matthew,” EBC 8:562-63, for a discussion of the textual and especially hermeneutical problem.

[27:9]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “the sons of Israel,” an idiom referring to the people of Israel as an ethnic entity (L&N 11.58).

[27:19]  ¹⁷ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[27:19]  ¹⁸ tn Or “the judge’s seat.”

[27:19]  sn The judgment seat (βῆμα, bhma) was a raised platform mounted by steps and usually furnished with a seat. It was used by officials in addressing an assembly or making official pronouncements, often of a judicial nature.

[27:19]  ¹⁹ tn The word “message” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

[27:19]  ²⁰ tn Grk “saying.” The participle λέγουσα (legousa) is redundant here in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[27:19]  ²¹ tn The Greek particle γάρ (gar, “for”) has not been translated here.

[27:19]  ²² tn Or “suffered greatly in a dream.” See the discussion on the construction κατ᾿ ὄναρ (kat’ onar) in BDAG 710 s.v. ὄναρ.
