[4:12]  ¹ tn Grk “he.”

[4:12]  ² tn Or “arrested,” “taken into custody” (see L&N 37.12).

[5:46]  ³ sn The tax collectors would bid to collect taxes for the Roman government and then add a surcharge, which they kept. Since tax collectors worked for Rome, they were viewed as traitors to their own people and were not well liked.

[8:6]  ⁴ tn Grk “and saying, ‘Lord.’” The participle λέγων (legwn) at the beginning of v. 6 is redundant in English and has not been translated.

[8:6]  ⁵ tn The Greek term here is παῖς (pais), often used of a slave who was regarded with some degree of affection, possibly a personal servant (Luke 7:7 uses the more common term δοῦλος, doulos). See L&N 87.77.

[10:15]  ⁶ tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”

[10:15]  ⁷ sn The allusion to Sodom and Gomorrah, the most wicked of OT cities from Gen 19:1-29, shows that to reject the current message is even more serious than the worst sins of the old era and will result in more severe punishment.

[11:24]  ⁸ sn The allusion to Sodom, the most wicked of OT cities from Gen 19:1-29, shows that to reject the current message is even more serious, and will result in more severe punishment, than the worst sins of the old era. The phrase region of Sodom is in emphatic position in the Greek text.

[12:36]  ⁹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[15:3]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “But answering, he said to them.”

[15:14]  ¹¹ tc ‡ Most mss, some of which are significant, read “They are blind guides of the blind” (א¹ C L W Z Θ Ë^1,13 33 Ï lat). The shorter reading is read by א*^,2 B D 0237 Epiph. There is a distinct possibility of omission due to homoioarcton in א*; this manuscript has a word order variation which puts the word τυφλοί (tufloi, “blind”) right before the word τυφλῶν (tuflwn, “of the blind”). This does not explain the shorter reading, however, in the other witnesses, of which B and D are quite weighty. Internal considerations suggest that the shorter reading is original: “of the blind” was likely added by scribes to balance this phrase with Jesus’ following statement about the blind leading the blind, which clearly has two groups in view. A decision is difficult, but internal considerations here along with the strength of the witnesses argue that the shorter reading is more likely original. NA²⁷ places τυφλῶν in brackets, indicating doubts as to its authenticity.

[15:14]  ¹² tn Grk “If blind leads blind.”

[16:2]  ¹³ tn Grk “But answering, he said to them.” The construction has been simplified in the translation and δέ (de) has not been translated.

[21:3]  ¹⁴ sn The custom called angaria allowed the impressment of animals for service to a significant figure.

[22:32]  ¹⁵ sn A quotation from Exod 3:6.

[22:32]  ¹⁶ sn He is not God of the dead but of the living. Jesus’ point was that if God could identify himself as God of the three old patriarchs, then they must still be alive when God spoke to Moses; and so they must be raised.

[23:33]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “the judgment of Gehenna.”

[23:33]  sn See the note on the word hell in 5:22.

[25:16]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “traded with them.”

[26:25]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “answering, Judas.” This is somewhat redundant and has been simplified in the translation. Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to reflect the sequence of events in the narrative.

[26:25]  ²⁰ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[26:34]  ²¹ tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”

[27:41]  ²² tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

[27:41]  ²³ tn Or “with the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 2:4.

[27:41]  ²⁴ tn Only “chief priests” is in the nominative case; this sentence structure attempts to capture this emphasis.

[27:41]  ²⁵ tn Grk “Mocking him, the chief priests…said.”

[27:66]  ²⁶ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of Pilate’s order.

[27:66]  ²⁷ tn Grk “with the guard.” The words “soldiers of the” have been supplied in the translation to prevent “guard” from being misunderstood as a single individual.
