1 tn Grk “behold.” 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 That is, carried out for burial. This was a funeral procession.

7 tn Or “we have only done what we were supposed to do.”

10 tn Grk “in it” (referring to the city of Jerusalem).
