¹ tn Here the aorist imperative καταβάτω (katabatō) has been translated as a conditional imperative. This fits the pattern of other conditional imperatives (imperative + καί + future indicative) outlined by ExSyn 489.

¹ tn The verb means “to pound” in a mortar with a pestle (cf. NRSV “Crush”; NLT “grind”). The imperfect is in a conditional clause, an unreal, hypothetical condition to make the point.

³ tn The present imperative here (with negation) is used (as it normally is) of a general condition (BDF §335).

³ tn This is a third class condition in the Greek text. Jesus had this experience already in 20:1-8.

² tn Both the “if” clause in this verse and the “if” clause in v. 4 are third class conditions in Greek.

² tn The aorist verb ὠργίσθη (ōrgisthē) has been translated as an ingressive aorist, reflecting entry into a state or condition.

⁴ tn This is a first class condition in the Greek text, showing which of the options is assumed.

¹ tn This is a first class condition in the Greek text, so the example ends on a hopeful, positive note.

⁴ tn This possibility is introduced through a conditional clause, but it is expressed with some skepticism (BDF §376).

¹ tn This is a first class condition: “If (and let’s assume that you are) the Son of God…”

¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated. All the “if” clauses in this paragraph are third class conditions in Greek.

² tn The imperfect is used in the second clause to emphasize that this was an ongoing condition in the past.

¹ sn Psalm 69. The psalmist laments his oppressed condition and asks the Lord to deliver him by severely judging his enemies.

¹ tn The cohortative is often found in the apodosis of the conditional clause (see GKC 320 §108.f).

¹ tn For the use of the cohortative in the apodosis of conditional sentences, see GKC 322 §109.f.

² tn The Hiphil imperfect in the apodosis of this conditional sentence expresses what would (not) happen if God answered the summons.

⁶ tn The juxtaposition of two perfects, each with vav consecutive, here indicates a conditional sentence (see GKC 337 §112.kk).

² tn The verb is the Piel perfect with a vav (ו) consecutive; it continues the idea within the conditional clause.

⁴ tn The words וְהָיָה כִּי (v^ehayah ki) introduce a conditional clause—“if” (see GKC 335 §112.y).

¹ tn Grk “And if.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style. This is a first class condition, but the next two conditional clauses are third class conditions, so that stylistic variation is probably at work.
