¹ tn Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

² sn The guards would have been the guards of the chief priests who had accompanied Judas to arrest Jesus.

³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

⁴ tn For the translation of ῥάπισμα (rJapisma), see L&N 19.4.
