[6:32]  ¹ tn Or “unbelievers”; Grk “Gentiles.”

[7:3]  ² tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[7:3]  ³ sn The term translated speck refers to a small piece of wood, chaff, or straw; see L&N 3.66.

[7:3]  ⁴ tn Or “do not notice.”

[7:3]  ⁵ sn The term beam of wood refers to a very big piece of wood, the main beam of a building, in contrast to the speck in the other’s eye (L&N 7.78).

[10:17]  ⁶ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[10:17]  ⁷ sn Councils in this context refers to local judicial bodies attached to the Jewish synagogue. This group would be responsible for meting out justice and discipline within the Jewish community.

[10:17]  ⁸ tn BDAG 620 s.v. μαστιγόω 1.a states, “of flogging as a punishment decreed by the synagogue (Dt 25:2f; s. the Mishna Tractate Sanhedrin-Makkoth, edited w. notes by SKrauss ’33) w. acc. of pers. Mt 10:17; 23:34.”

[10:17]  ⁹ sn See the note on synagogues in 4:23.

[12:47]  ¹⁰ tc A few ancient mss and versions lack this verse (א* B L Γ pc ff¹ k sy^s,c sa). The witness of א and B is especially strong, but internal considerations override this external evidence. Both v. 46 and 47 end with the word λαλῆσαι (“to speak”), so early scribes probably omitted the verse through homoioteleuton. The following verses make little sense without v. 47; its omission is too hard a reading. Thus v. 47 was most likely part of the original text.

[12:47]  ¹¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[12:47]  ¹² tn Grk “seeking.”

[13:20]  ¹³ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[13:20]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “The one sown on rocky ground, this is the one.” The next two statements like this one have this same syntactical structure.

[22:30]  ¹⁵ tc Most witnesses have “of God” after “angels,” although some mss read ἄγγελοι θεοῦ (angeloi qeou; א L ˹³ {28} 33 892 1241 1424 al) while others have ἄγγελοι τοῦ θεοῦ (angeloi tou qeou; W 0102 0161 Ï). Whether with or without the article, the reading “of God” appears to be motivated as a natural expansion. A few important witnesses lack the adjunct (B D Θ {0233} ˹ 700 {sa}); this coupled with strong internal evidence argues for the shorter reading.

[22:30]  sn Angels do not die, nor do they eat according to Jewish tradition (1 En. 15:6; 51:4; Wis 5:5; 2 Bar. 51:10; 1QH 3.21-23).

[26:70]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “he denied it…saying.” The participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant in English and has not been translated.
