1 tn Grk “And Jesus.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

4 tn This is a third class condition in the Greek text. The conjunction καί (kai, a component of κάν [kan]) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

7 tn This is a first class condition in the Greek text, showing which of the options is assumed.
