¹ tn Grk “they will not teach, each one his fellow citizen…” The Greek makes this negation emphatic: “they will certainly not teach.”

¹ tn The word translated “teaching” is related etymologically to the Hebrew word “receive,” but that does not restrict the teaching to what is received.

² tn Heb “to do and to teach.” The expression may be a hendiadys, in which case it would have the sense of “effectively teaching.”

¹ tn Grk “say what is fitting for sound teaching” (introducing the behavior called for in this chapter.).

² tn Grk “teachings of demons” (speaking of the source of these doctrines).

¹ tn Grk “and now,” but this shows the logical result of his previous teaching.

² tn Or “started teaching.” An ingressive sense for the imperfect verb (“began to teach” or “started teaching”) fits well here, since the context implies that Jesus did not start his teaching at the beginning of the festival, but began when it was about half over.

² tn Grk “Then Jesus cried out in the temple, teaching and saying.”

² tn Or “precisely”; Grk “rightly.” Jesus teaches exactly, the straight and narrow.

² tn Heb “so that even the wicked women you teach your ways.”

¹ tn Heb “he teaches him the proper way; his God instructs him.”

¹ tn Heb “mouth.” The word “mouth” is metonymy of cause, representing what the righteous say and teach.

³ tn Heb “your amazing things,” which refers here to the teachings of the law (see v. 18).

² tn Heb “[was] with” (so KJV, ASV); NASB “tutored”; NRSV “attended”; NLT “was responsible to teach.’

¹ tn Heb “to teach in the day of the unclean and in the day of the clean.”

⁴ tn Grk “teaches and deceives” (διδάσκει καὶ πλανᾷ, didaskei kai plana), a construction in which the first verb appears to specify the means by which the second is accomplished: “by her teaching, deceives…”

⁴ tn Grk “of,” but this could give the impression the Lord himself had done the teaching (a subjective genitive) when actually the Lord was the object of the teaching (an objective genitive).

² tn Or “this teaching”; Grk “these things.” The response of the people centers upon the content of Jesus’ teaching, so the phrase “these ideas” was supplied in the text to make this clear.

² tn Heb “to the instruction of our God.” In this context, which is highly accusatory and threatening, תּוֹרָה (torah, “law, instruction”) does not refer to mere teaching, but to corrective teaching and rebuke.

¹ tn The term תוֹרָה (torah) in legal literature means “law,” but in wisdom literature often means “instruction; teaching” (BDB 435 s.v.); cf. NAV, NIV, NRSV “teaching”; NLT “advice.”
