[7:9]  ¹ tn Grk “Or is there.”

[7:10]  ² sn The two questions of vv. 9-10 expect the answer, “No parent would do this!”

[14:19]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “Then.”

[14:19]  ⁴ tn Grk “And after instructing the crowds to recline for a meal on the grass, after taking the five loaves and the two fish, after looking up to heaven, he gave thanks, and after breaking the loaves he gave them to the disciples.” Although most of the participles are undoubtedly attendant circumstance, there are but two indicative verbs – “he gave thanks” and “he gave.” The structure of the sentence thus seems to focus on these two actions and has been translated accordingly.

[14:19]  ⁵ tn Grk “to the disciples, and the disciples to the crowds.”

[15:36]  ⁴ tn Grk “was giving them to the disciples, and the disciples to the crowd.”

[16:26]  ⁵ tn Grk “a man,” but ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") is used in a generic sense here to refer to both men and women.

[25:15]  ⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

[25:15]  ⁷ sn A talent was equal to 6000 denarii. See the note on this term in 18:24.

[26:26]  ⁷ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[27:29]  ⁸ tn Or “weaving.”

[27:29]  ⁹ sn The crown may have been made from palm spines or some other thorny plant common in Israel. In placing the crown of thorns on his head, the soldiers were unwittingly symbolizing God’s curse on humanity (cf. Gen 3:18) being placed on Jesus. Their purpose would have been to mock Jesus’ claim to be a king; the crown of thorns would have represented the “radiant corona” portrayed on the heads of rulers on coins and other artifacts in the 1st century.

[27:29]  ¹⁰ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

[27:29]  ¹¹ tn Or “a reed.” The Greek term can mean either “staff” or “reed.” See BDAG 502 s.v. κάλαμος 2.

[27:29]  ¹² tn Grk “they mocked him, saying.” The participle λέγοντες (legontes) is redundant and has not been translated.

[27:29]  ¹³ tn Or “Long live the King of the Jews!”
