1 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).
2 tn Grk “extending his hand, drew out his sword, and struck.” Because rapid motion is implied in the circumstances, the translation “grabbed” was used.
3 tn See the note on the word “slave” in 8:9.
4 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
5 tn Grk “one hundred denarii.” The denarius was a silver coin worth about a day’s wage for a laborer; this would be about three month’s pay.
6 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so.” A new sentence was started at this point in the translation in keeping with the tendency of contemporary English style to use shorter sentences.
7 tn Grk “and he grabbed him and started choking him.”
8 tn The word “me” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context.
