Lukas 8:44

8:44 She ¹  came up behind Jesus ²  and touched the edge ³  of his cloak, ⁴  and at once the bleeding ⁵  stopped.

Lukas 18:40

18:40 So ⁶  Jesus stopped and ordered the beggar ⁷  to be brought to him. When the man ⁸  came near, Jesus ⁹  asked him,

[8:44]  ¹ tn Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[8:44]  ² tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:44]  ³ sn The edge of his cloak refers to the kraspedon, the blue tassel on the garment that symbolized a Jewish man’s obedience to the law (cf. Num 15:37-41). The woman thus touched the very part of Jesus’ clothing that indicated his ritual purity.

[8:44]  ⁴ tn Grk “garment,” but here ἱμάτιον (Jimation) denotes the outer garment in particular.

[8:44]  ⁵ tn Grk “the flow of her blood.”

[8:44]  sn The woman was most likely suffering from a vaginal hemorrhage, in which case her bleeding would make her ritually unclean.

[18:40]  ⁶ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the beggar’s cries.

[18:40]  ⁷ tn Grk “ordered him”; the referent (the blind beggar, v. 35) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[18:40]  ⁸ tn Grk “he”; the referent (the beggar) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[18:40]  ⁹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
