¹ tn Grk “And they.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “yet” to indicate the contrast.

² tn Grk “they”; the referent (his parents) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

³ sn This was the first of many times those around Jesus did not understand what he was saying at the time (9:45; 10:21-24; 18:34).

⁴ tn Or “the matter.”

⁵ tn Grk “which he spoke.”

⁶ tn Grk “How do you read?” The pronoun “it” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

⁷ sn Luke does not mention specific texts here, but it is likely that many of the scriptures he mentioned elsewhere in Luke-Acts would have been among those he had in mind.
