Footnotes

  1. Matthew 26:49 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.
  2. Matthew 26:49 sn Judas’ act of betrayal when he kissed Jesus is especially sinister when it is realized that it was common in the culture of the times for a disciple to kiss his master when greeting him.
  3. Matthew 26:50 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
  4. Matthew 26:50 tn Grk “and put their hands on Jesus.”
  5. Matthew 26:51 tn Grk “And behold one.” 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).
  6. Matthew 26:51 tn Grk “extending his hand, drew out his sword, and struck.” Because rapid motion is implied in the circumstances, the translation “grabbed” was used.
  7. Matthew 26:51 tn See the note on the word “slave” in 8:9.
