[9:8]  ¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[9:8]  ² tc Most witnesses (C L Θ 0233 ˹³ Ï) have ἐθαύμασαν (eqaumasan; “marveled, were amazed”) instead of ἐφοβήθησαν (efobhqhsan) here, effectively turning the fearful reaction into one of veneration. But the harder reading is well supported by א B D W 0281 ˹ 33 892 1424 al lat co and thus is surely authentic.

[9:8]  ³ tn Grk “people.” The plural of ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") usually indicates people in general, but the singular is used in the expression “Son of Man.” There is thus an ironic allusion to Jesus’ statement in v. 6: His self-designation as “Son of Man” is meant to be unique, but the crowd regards it simply as meaning “human, person.” To maintain this connection for the English reader the plural ἀνθρώποις (anqrwpoi") has been translated here as “men” rather than as the more generic “people.”

[25:31]  ⁴ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[23:6]  ⁵ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[23:6]  ⁶ sn See the note on synagogues in 4:23.

[24:30]  ⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

[24:30]  ⁸ tn Or “in the sky”; the Greek word οὐρανός (ouranos) may be translated “sky” or “heaven,” depending on the context.

[24:30]  ⁹ tn Here τότε (tote, “then”) has not been translated to avoid redundancy in English.

[24:30]  ¹⁰ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

[24:30]  ¹¹ sn An allusion to Dan 7:13. Here is Jesus returning with full authority to judge.

[6:9]  ¹² sn Pray this way. What follows, although traditionally known as the Lord’s prayer, is really the disciples’ prayer. It represents how they are to approach God, by acknowledging his uniqueness and their need for his provision and protection.

[6:9]  ¹³ sn God is addressed in terms of intimacy (Father). The original Semitic term here was probably Abba. The term is a little unusual in a personal prayer, especially as it lacks qualification. It is not the exact equivalent of “daddy” (as is sometimes popularly suggested), but it does suggest a close, familial relationship.

[6:9]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “hallowed be your name.”

[16:27]  ¹⁵ sn An allusion to Pss 28:4; 62:12; cf. Prov 24:12.

[19:28]  ¹⁶ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[19:28]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”

[19:28]  ¹⁸ sn The Greek term translated the age when all things are renewed (παλιγγενεσία, palingenesia) is understood as a reference to the Messianic age, the time when all things are renewed and restored (cf. Rev 21:5).

[19:28]  ¹⁹ sn The statement you…will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel looks at the future authority the Twelve will have when Jesus returns. They will share in Israel’s judgment.

[15:8]  ²⁰ tn The term “heart” is a collective singular in the Greek text.

[4:8]  ²¹ tn Grk “glory.”

[6:13]  ²² tn Or “into a time of testing.”

[6:13]  sn The request do not lead us into temptation is not to suggest God causes temptation, but is a rhetorical way to ask for his protection from sin.

[6:13]  ²³ tc Most mss (L W Θ 0233 ˹³ 33 Ï sy sa Didache) read (though some with slight variation) ὅτι σοῦ ἐστιν ἡ βασιλεία καὶ ἡ δύναμις καὶ ἡ δόξα εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας, ἀμήν (“for yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever, amen”) here. The reading without this sentence, though, is attested by generally better witnesses (א B D Z 0170 ˹ pc lat mae Or). The phrase was probably composed for the liturgy of the early church and most likely was based on 1 Chr 29:11-13; a scribe probably added the phrase at this point in the text for use in public scripture reading (see TCGNT 13-14). Both external and internal evidence argue for the shorter reading.

[6:13]  tn The term πονηροῦ (ponhrou) may be understood as specific and personified, referring to the devil, or possibly as a general reference to evil. It is most likely personified since it is articular (τοῦ πονηροῦ, tou ponhrou). Cf. also “the evildoer” in 5:39, which is the same construction.

[15:9]  ²⁴ sn A quotation from Isa 29:13.

[11:25]  ²⁵ tn Grk “At that time, answering, Jesus said.” This construction is somewhat redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation.

[11:25]  ²⁶ tn Or “thank.”

[11:25]  ²⁷ sn The title Lord is an important name for God, showing his sovereignty, but it is interesting that it comes next to a reference to the Father, a term indicative of God’s care. The two concepts are often related in the NT; see Eph 1:3-6.

[11:25]  ²⁸ tn Or “that.”

[11:25]  ²⁹ sn See 1 Cor 1:26-31.
