[4:4]  ¹ tn Grk “answering, he said.” The participle ἀποκριθείς (apokriqeis) is redundant, but the syntax of the phrase has been changed for clarity.

[4:4]  ² tn Or “a person.” Greek ὁ ἄνθρωπος (Jo anqrwpo") is used generically for humanity. The translation “man” is used because the emphasis in Jesus’ response seems to be on his dependence on God as a man.

[4:4]  ³ tn Grk “will not live.” The verb in Greek is a future tense, but it is unclear whether it is meant to be taken as a command (also known as an imperatival future) or as a statement of reality (predictive future).

[4:4]  ⁴ sn A quotation from Deut 8:3.

[5:33]  ⁵ tn Grk “the ancient ones.”

[5:33]  ⁶ sn A quotation from Lev 19:12.

[10:10]  ⁷ tn Or “no traveler’s bag”; or possibly “no beggar’s bag” (L&N 6.145; BDAG 811 s.v. πήρα).

[10:10]  ⁸ tn Grk “two tunics.” See the note on the word “tunic” in Matt 5:40.

[10:10]  ⁹ sn Mark 6:8 allows one staff. It might be that Matthew’s summary (cf. Luke 9:3) means not taking an extra staff or that the expression is merely rhetorical for “traveling light” which has been rendered in two slightly different ways.

[10:19]  ¹⁰ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[10:19]  ¹¹ tn Grk “how or what you might speak.”

[10:19]  ¹² tn Grk “in that hour.”

[22:24]  ¹³ tn Grk “and raise up seed,” an idiom for fathering children (L&N 23.59).

[22:24]  ¹⁴ sn A quotation from Deut 25:5. This practice is called levirate marriage (see also Ruth 4:1-12; Mishnah, m. Yevamot; Josephus, Ant. 4.8.23 [4.254-256]). The levirate law is described in Deut 25:5-10. The brother of a man who died without a son had an obligation to marry his brother’s widow. This served several purposes: It provided for the widow in a society where a widow with no children to care for her would be reduced to begging, and it preserved the name of the deceased, who would be regarded as the legal father of the first son produced from that marriage.

[23:3]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “for they say and do not do.”

[25:27]  ¹⁶ tn For the translation “deposited my money with the bankers,” see L&N 57.216.

[25:27]  ¹⁷ sn That is, “If you really feared me you should have done a minimum to get what I asked for.”
