sn The people were filled with anticipation because they were hoping God would send someone to deliver them.

2 tn Grk “pondered in their hearts.”

3 tn Grk “in their hearts concerning John, (whether) perhaps he might be the Christ.” The translation simplifies the style here.

sn See the note on Christ in 2:11.

5 tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

6 tn Grk “what this parable might be” (an optative after a secondary tense, in keeping with good Koine style).

7 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of Jesus’ comments: The disciples begin wondering who would betray him.
