^{Colossians 4:6 [1]} Annas served as high priest A.D. 6-15. He was removed from the position by Rome, but continued to be extremely influential and was regarded by the Jews as de facto high priest even though others (his sons and son-in-law) officially held the office.

^{Colossians 4:6 [2]} Caiaphas (Annas' son-in-law) served as high priest A.D. 18-36.

^{Colossians 4:6 [3]} Perhaps this is Jonathan, one of Annas' sons.

^{Colossians 4:7 [4]} The Sanhedrin sat in a semi-circle.

^{Colossians 4:11 [5]} The cornerstone is the supreme foundation stone governing the structure of the entire building. All other stones will be set in reference to this stone.

^{Colossians 4:36 [7]} Barnabas becomes a prominent figure in the book of Acts ( 9:27; 11:22-30; 13:1-14:28, etc.), and it may be for that reason that Luke briefly mentions him here, telling the reader how Barnabas came to be associated with the apostles.
