2 tn Or “a bowl”; this refers to any container for dry material of about eight liters (two gallons) capacity. It could be translated “basket, box, bowl” (L&N 6.151).
3 tn Grk “village, and.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
4 tn Grk “on him,” but the word πάλιν in v. 25 implies that Jesus touched the man’s eyes at this point.
5 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Joseph of Arimathea) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
6 tn The term σινδών (sindwn) can refer to a linen cloth used either for clothing or for burial.
