[27:1]  ¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[22:66]  ² tn Or “and the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 5:21.

[22:66]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[22:66]  ⁴ tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:66]  ⁵ sn Their council is probably a reference to the Jewish Sanhedrin, the council of seventy leaders.
