¹ tn Grk “they will call his name.”

² sn A quotation from Isa 7:14.

³ tn Grk “is translated.”

⁴ sn An allusion to Isa 8:8, 10 (LXX).

⁵ tn Grk “answering, the governor said to them.” This construction is somewhat redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation. Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

⁷ sn Mention of the inscription is an important detail, because the inscription would normally give the reason for the execution. It shows that Jesus was executed for claiming to be a king. It was also probably written with irony from the executioners’ point of view.

⁸ tn Grk “was written.”

⁹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

¹⁰ sn See the note on Pharisees in 3:7.
