Matius 21:2

[3:2]  ¹ tn Grk “and saying, ‘Repent.’” The participle λέγων (legwn) at the beginning of v. 2 is redundant in English and has not been translated.

[21:1]  ² tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.

[21:1]  ³ map For location see Map5 B1; Map6 F3; Map7 E2; Map8 F2; Map10 B3; JP1 F4; JP2 F4; JP3 F4; JP4 F4.

[21:1]  ⁴ sn The exact location of the village of Bethphage is not known. Most put it on the southeast side of the Mount of Olives and northwest of Bethany, about 1.5 miles (3 km) east of Jerusalem.

[21:1]  ⁵ sn “Mountain” in English generally denotes a higher elevation than it often does in reference to places in Palestine. The Mount of Olives is really a ridge running north to south about 3 kilometers (1.8 miles) long, east of Jerusalem across the Kidron Valley. Its central elevation is about 30 meters (100 ft) higher than Jerusalem. It was named for the large number of olive trees which grew on it.

[15:25]  ⁶ tn In this context the verb προσκυνέω (proskunew), which often describes worship, probably means simply bowing down to the ground in an act of reverence or supplication (see L&N 17.21).

[15:25]  ⁷ tn Grk “she bowed down to him, saying.”

[26:46]  ⁸ tn Grk “the one who betrays me.”

[4:17]  ⁹ tn Grk “and to say.”

[24:32]  ¹⁰ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[28:9]  ¹¹ tn Grk “And behold.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate that the return of the women from the tomb was interrupted by this appearance of Jesus. The Greek word ἰδού (idou) has not been translated because it has no exact English equivalent here, but adds interest and emphasis (BDAG 468 s.v. 1).

[28:9]  ¹² tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[28:18]  ¹³ tn Grk “coming, Jesus spoke to them, saying.” The participle λέγων (legwn, “saying”) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated. Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[18:21]  ¹⁴ tn Here the term “brother” means “fellow believer” or “fellow Christian” (cf. BDAG 18 s.v. ἀδελφός 2.a), whether male or female. Concerning the familial connotations, see also the note on the first occurrence of this term in v. 15.

[26:73]  ¹⁵ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[26:73]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “your speech.”

[24:33]  ¹⁷ tn The verb γινώσκετε (ginwskete, “know”) can be parsed as either present indicative or present imperative. In this context the imperative fits better, since the movement is from analogy (trees and seasons) to the future (the signs of the coming of the kingdom) and since the emphasis is on preparation for this event.

[27:37]  ¹⁸ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

[27:37]  ¹⁹ sn Mention of the inscription is an important detail, because the inscription would normally give the reason for the execution. It shows that Jesus was executed for claiming to be a king. It was also probably written with irony from the executioners’ point of view.

[27:37]  ²⁰ tn Grk “was written.”

[9:20]  ²¹ tn Grk “And behold a woman.” The Greek word ἰδού (idou) has not been translated because it has no exact English equivalent here, but adds interest and emphasis (BDAG 468 s.v. 1).

[9:20]  ²² sn Suffering from a hemorrhage. The woman was most likely suffering from a vaginal hemorrhage which would make her ritually unclean.

[9:20]  ²³ sn The edge of his cloak refers to the kraspedon, the blue tassel on the garment that symbolized a Jewish man’s obedience to the law (cf. Num 15:37-41). The woman thus touched the very part of Jesus’ clothing that indicated his ritual purity.

[9:20]  ²⁴ tn Grk “garment,” but here ἱμάτιον (Jimation) denotes the outer garment in particular.

[26:49]  ²⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

[26:49]  ²⁶ sn Judas’ act of betrayal when he kissed Jesus is especially sinister when it is realized that it was common in the culture of the times for a disciple to kiss his master when greeting him.

[4:13]  ³² tn Grk “and leaving Nazareth, he came and took up residence in Capernaum.”

[4:13]  sn Capernaum was a town located on the northwestern shore of the Sea of Galilee, 680 ft (204 m) below sea level. It was a major trade and economic center in the North Galilean region, and it became the hub of operations for Jesus’ Galilean ministry.

[4:13]  map For location see Map1 D2; Map2 C3; Map3 B2.

[4:13]  ³³ tn Or “by the lake.”

[4:13]  sn By the sea refers to the Sea of Galilee.

[16:13]  ³⁵ map For location see Map1 C1; Map2 F4.

[16:13]  ³⁶ tn Grk “he asked his disciples, saying.” The participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant and has been left untranslated.

[21:19]  ³⁷ tn Grk “one fig tree.”

[21:19]  sn The fig tree is a variation on the picture of a vine as representing the nation; see Isa 5:1-7.

[8:33]  ³⁸ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[8:33]  ³⁹ tn Or “city.” But see the sn on “Gadarenes” in 8:28.

[11:1]  ⁴⁰ tn Grk “And it happened when.” The introductory phrase καὶ ἐγένετο (kai egeneto, “it happened that”) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[15:12]  ⁴¹ sn See the note on Pharisees in 3:7.

[15:23]  ⁴² tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “Then.”

[15:23]  ⁴³ tn Grk “asked him, saying.” The participle λέγοντες (legontes) is redundant here in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[14:15]  ⁵³ tn Or “a desert” (meaning a deserted or desolate area with sparse vegetation).

[15:30]  ⁵⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “Then.”
