6:3 Jesus ¹  answered them, ²  “Haven’t you read what David did when he and his companions were hungry –

Lukas 7:14

7:14 Then ³  he came up ⁴  and touched ⁵  the bier, ⁶  and those who carried it stood still. He ⁷  said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!”

Lukas 18:15

Jesus and Little Children

18:15 Now people ⁸  were even bringing their babies ⁹  to him for him to touch. ¹⁰  But when the disciples saw it, they began to scold those who brought them. ¹¹ 

Lukas 22:11

22:11 and tell the owner of the house, ¹²  ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?”’

[6:3]  ¹ tn Grk “And Jesus.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[6:3]  ² tn Grk “Jesus, answering them, said.” This is redundant in contemporary English and has been simplified to “Jesus answered them.”

[7:14]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[7:14]  ⁴ tn Grk “coming up, he touched.” The participle προσελθών (proselqwn) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[7:14]  ⁵ sn The act of having touched the bier would have rendered Jesus ceremonially unclean, but it did not matter to him, since he was expressing his personal concern (Num 19:11, 16).

[7:14]  ⁶ sn Although sometimes translated “coffin,” the bier was actually a stretcher or wooden plank on which the corpse was transported to the place of burial. See L&N 6.109.

[7:14]  ⁷ tn Grk “And he.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[18:15]  ⁸ tn Grk “they.”

[18:15]  ⁹ tn The term βρέφος (brefos) here can refer to babies or to toddlers (2:12, 16; Acts 7:19; 2 Tim 3:15; 1 Pet 2:2).

[18:15]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “so that he would touch them.” Here the touch is connected with (or conveys) a blessing (cf. Mark 10:16; also BDAG 126 s.v. ἅπτω 2.c).

[18:15]  ¹¹ tn Grk “the disciples began to scold them.” In the translation the referent has been specified as “those who brought them,” since otherwise the statement could be understood to mean that the disciples began scolding the children rather than their parents who brought them.

[22:11]  ¹² tn Grk “to the master of the household,” referring to one who owns and manages the household, including family, servants, and slaves (L&N 57.14).
