1 tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”
2 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.
3 tn Grk “saying.” The participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant here in contemporary English and has not been translated.
4 tn Grk “this”; the referent (the cup) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
5 tn Grk “because their eyes were weighed down,” an idiom for becoming extremely or excessively sleepy (L&N 23.69).
6 tn Grk “And behold one.” The Greek word ἰδού (idou) has not been translated because it has no exact English equivalent here, but adds interest and emphasis (BDAG 468 s.v. 1).
7 tn Grk “extending his hand, drew out his sword, and struck.” Because rapid motion is implied in the circumstances, the translation “grabbed” was used.
8 tn See the note on the word “slave” in 8:9.
9 tn Grk “But so that”; the verb “has happened” is implied.
10 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.
11 sn The guards would have been the guards of the chief priests who had accompanied Judas to arrest Jesus.
