¹ tn Grk “marveled.” It is a hard word to translate with one term in this context. There is a mixture of amazement and pondering at work in considering the surprising events here. See Luke 1:21, 63; 2:33.

² tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

³ sn There was wonder (all who heard…were astonished) that Jesus at such a young age could engage in such a discussion. The fact that this story is told of a preteen hints that Jesus was someone special.

⁴ tn The words “the people” are not in the Greek text but have been supplied.

⁵ sn See the note on Pharisees in 5:17.

⁶ tn A figurative extension of the literal meaning “to turn one’s nose up at someone”; here “ridicule, sneer at, show contempt for” (L&N 33.409).

⁷ tn Grk “he”; the referent (the man) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁸ tn Or “very distressed” (L&N 25.277).
