1 tn Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
2 sn The kingdom of God is a reference to the sovereign activity of God as he rules over his creation and brings his plans to realization.
3 sn That no one should know about this. See the note on the phrase who he was in 3:12.
4 tn Grk “and being deeply grieved, the king did not want.”
5 tn Grk “And answering, he said to them.” The participle ἀποκριθείς (apokriqeis) is redundant, but the phrasing of the sentence was modified slightly to make it clearer in English.
6 tn Grk “O.” The marker of direct address, ὦ (w), is functionally equivalent to a vocative and is represented in the translation by “you.”
7 tn Or “faithless.”
sn The rebuke for lack of faith has OT roots: Num 14:27; Deut 32:5, 30; Isa 59:8.
8 tn Grk “how long.”
9 tn Or “put up with.” See Num 11:12; Isa 46:4.
10 sn The pronouns you…you are plural, indicating that Jesus is speaking to a group rather than an individual.
11 tn Grk “than having.”
12 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of previous action(s) in the narrative.
13 tn Grk “the days.”
14 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.
15 tn The Greek term φραγελλόω (fragellow) refers to flogging. BDAG 1064 s.v. states, “flog, scourge, a punishment inflicted on slaves and provincials after a sentence of death had been pronounced on them. So in the case of Jesus before the crucifixion…Mt 27:26; Mk 15:15.”
sn A Roman flogging (traditionally, “scourging”) was an excruciating punishment. The victim was stripped of his clothes and bound to a post with his hands fastened above him (or sometimes he was thrown to the ground). Guards standing on either side of the victim would incessantly beat him with a whip (flagellum) made out of leather with pieces of lead and bone inserted into its ends. While the Jews only allowed 39 lashes, the Romans had no such limit; many people who received such a beating died as a result. See C. Schneider, TDNT, 4:515-19.
16 tn Or “delivered him up.”
