| (0.30) | (Luk 7:31) | 1 tn Grk “men,” but this is a generic use of ἄνθρωπος (anthrōpos). The comparison that follows in vv. 32-34 describes “this generation,” not Jesus and John. |
| (0.30) | (Luk 7:20) | 3 tn Grk “to you, saying,” but since this takes the form of a question, it is preferable to use the phrase “to ask” in English. |
| (0.30) | (Luk 7:19) | 2 tn Grk “to Jesus, saying,” but since this takes the form of a question, it is preferable to use the phrase “to ask” in English. |
| (0.30) | (Luk 6:8) | 3 tn Grk “their reasonings.” The implication is that Jesus knew his opponents’ plans and motives, so the translation “thoughts” was used here. |
| (0.30) | (Luk 5:27) | 4 sn It is possible that Levi is a second name for Matthew because people often used alternative names in 1st century Jewish culture. |
| (0.30) | (Luk 4:33) | 3 tn Grk “having an unclean, demonic spirit,” that is, an evil spirit. This is the only place Luke uses this lengthy phrase. Normally he simply says an “unclean spirit.” |
| (0.30) | (Luk 3:17) | 2 tn Or “granary,” “barn” (referring to a building used to store a farm’s produce rather than a building for housing livestock). |
| (0.30) | (Luk 2:4) | 3 tn Or “town.” The translation “city” is used here because of its collocation with “of David,” suggesting its importance, though not its size. |
| (0.30) | (Luk 1:20) | 3 sn Silent, unable to speak. Actually Zechariah was deaf and mute as 1:61-63 indicates, since others had to use gestures to communicate with him. |
| (0.30) | (Luk 1:13) | 2 tn Grk “a son, and you”; καί (kai) has not been translated. Instead a semicolon is used in the translation for stylistic reasons. |
| (0.30) | (Mar 16:1) | 1 sn Spices were used not to preserve the body, but as an act of love, and to mask the growing stench of a corpse. |
| (0.30) | (Mar 12:26) | 2 sn See Exod 3:6. Jesus used a common form of rabbinic citation here to refer to the passage in question. |
| (0.30) | (Mar 11:33) | 4 sn Neither will I tell you. Though Jesus gave no answer, the analogy he used to their own question makes his view clear. His authority came from heaven. |
| (0.30) | (Mar 6:48) | 4 tn The καί (kai) was translated so as to introduce a subordinate clause, i.e., with the use of “for.” See BDF §442.9. |
| (0.30) | (Mar 6:49) | 1 tn Grk “on the sea,” “on the lake.” The translation “water” has been used here for stylistic reasons (cf. the same phrase in v. 48). |
| (0.30) | (Mar 2:27) | 2 tn The Greek term ἄνθρωπος (anthrōpos) is used twice in this verse in a generic sense, referring to both men and women, thus “people.” |
| (0.30) | (Mar 1:10) | 2 tn Or “sky.” The Greek word οὐρανός (ouranos) may be translated “sky” or “heaven,” depending on the context. The same word is used in v. 11. |
| (0.30) | (Mat 27:52) | 1 tn The verb κοιμάω (koimaō) literally means “sleep,” but it is often used in the Bible as a euphemism for the death of a believer. |
| (0.30) | (Mat 26:51) | 2 tn Grk “extending his hand, drew out his sword, and struck.” Because rapid motion is implied in the circumstances, the translation “grabbed” was used. |
