1 tn See the note on the word “slave” in 8:9.
2 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
3 tn Grk “one hundred denarii.” The denarius was a silver coin worth about a day’s wage for a laborer; this would be about three month’s pay.
4 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so.” A new sentence was started at this point in the translation in keeping with the tendency of contemporary English style to use shorter sentences.
5 tn Grk “and he grabbed him and started choking him.”
6 tn The word “me” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context.
7 tn Grk “Behold, I have prepared my dinner.” In some contexts, however, to translate ἄριστον (ariston) as “dinner” somewhat misses the point. L&N 23.22 here suggests, “See now, the feast I have prepared (for you is ready).”
8 tn See the note on the word “slave” in 8:9.
9 tn Grk “give them.”
