1 tn Grk “behold, an angel.” 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 Or “the angel of the Lord.” See the note on the word “Lord” in 1:20.
3 sn See the note on King Herod in 2:1. Herod the Great was particularly ruthless regarding the succession to his throne.
4 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.
5 tn Grk “and behold the star.”
6 tn See the note on the word “rose” in 2:2.

8 sn Frankincense refers to the aromatic resin of certain trees, used as a sweet-smelling incense (L&N 6.212).
