1 tn Grk “And he.”
2 sn Unclean spirits refers to evil spirits.
3 tn Grk “and every [kind of] sickness.” Here “every” was not repeated in the translation for stylistic reasons.
4 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
5 tn Or “will rebel against.”
6 tn Grk “handed him over to the torturers,” referring specifically to guards whose job was to torture prisoners who were being questioned. According to L&N 37.126, it is difficult to know for certain in this instance whether the term actually envisions torture as a part of the punishment or is simply a hyperbole. However, in light of the following verse and Jesus’ other warning statements in Matthew about “fiery hell,” “the outer darkness,” etc., it is best not to dismiss this as mere imagery.
7 tn Traditionally, “scourged” (the term means to beat severely with a whip, L&N 19.9). BDAG 620 s.v. μαστιγόω 1.a states, “The ‘verberatio’ is denoted in the passion predictions and explicitly as action by non-Israelites Mt 20:19; Mk 10:34; Lk 18:33”; the verberatio was the beating given to those condemned to death in the Roman judicial system. Here the term μαστιγόω (mastigow) has been translated “flog…severely” to distinguish it from the term φραγελλόω (fragellow) used in Matt 27:26; Mark 15:15.
8 sn Crucifixion was the cruelest form of punishment practiced by the Romans. Roman citizens could not normally undergo it. It was reserved for the worst crimes, like treason and evasion of due process in a capital case. The Roman historian Cicero called it “a cruel and disgusting penalty” (Against Verres 2.5.63-66 §§163-70); Josephus (J. W. 7.6.4 [7.203]) called it the worst of deaths.
9 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “yet” to indicate the contrast present in this context.
10 tn Or “all the Gentiles” (the same Greek word may be translated “nations” or “Gentiles”).
11 sn See Matt 5:10-12; 1 Cor 1:25-31.
12 tn Or “will be delivered up.”
