5:1 When 3 he saw the crowds, he went up the mountain. 4 After he sat down his disciples came to him.
19:16 Now 7 someone came up to him and said, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to gain eternal life?”

1 tn The feminine singular genitive noun νυκτός (nuktos, “night”) indicates the time during which the action of the main verb takes place (ExSyn 124).
2 tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the angel’s instructions.
3 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
4 tn Or “up a mountain” (εἰς τὸ ὄρος, eis to oro").
sn The expression up the mountain here may be idiomatic or generic, much like the English “he went to the hospital” (cf. 15:29), or even intentionally reminiscent of Exod 24:12 (LXX), since the genre of the Sermon on the Mount seems to be that of a new Moses giving a new law.
5 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then.”
6 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

The longer reading looks to be a scribal clarification, and hence is considered to be secondary. NA27 puts the word in brackets to show doubts about its authenticity.
10 tn Grk “coming, Jesus spoke to them, saying.” The participle λέγων (legwn, “saying”) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated. Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.
