Lukas 8:34

8:34 When ¹  the herdsmen saw what had happened, they ran off and spread the news ²  in the town ³  and countryside.

Lukas 10:8

10:8 Whenever ⁴  you enter a town ⁵  and the people ⁶  welcome you, eat what is set before you.

Lukas 22:49

22:49 When ⁷  those who were around him saw what was about to happen, they said, “Lord, should ⁸  we use our swords?” ⁹ 

[8:34]  ¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[8:34]  ² tn Or “reported it.” This verb is used three times in the next few verses (vv. 36, 37), showing how the healing became a major topic of conversation in the district.

[8:34]  ³ tn Or “city.”

[10:8]  ⁴ tn Grk “And whatever town you enter,” but this is more often expressed in English as “whenever you enter a town.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[10:8]  ⁵ tn Or “city.” Jesus now speaks of the town as a whole, as he will in vv. 10-12.

[10:8]  ⁶ tn Grk “and they”; the referent (the people who live in the town) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:49]  ⁷ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[22:49]  ⁸ tn The direct question using “if” in Greek is not unusual (BDF §440.3).

[22:49]  ⁹ sn “Should we use our swords?” The disciples’ effort to defend Jesus recalls Luke 22:35-38. One individual did not wait for the answer.
