Lukas 2:16

2:16 So they hurried off and located Mary and Joseph, and found the baby lying in a manger. ¹ 

Lukas 5:1

The Call of the Disciples

5:1 Now ²  Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret, ³  and the crowd was pressing around him ⁴  to hear the word of God.

Lukas 9:53

9:53 but the villagers ⁵  refused to welcome ⁶  him, because he was determined to go to Jerusalem. ⁷ 

[2:16]  ¹ tn Or “a feeding trough.”

[5:1]  ² tn Grk “Now it happened that.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[5:1]  ³ sn The Lake of Gennesaret is another name for the Sea of Galilee. Cf. the parallel in Matt 4:18.

[5:1]  ⁴ sn The image of the crowd pressing around him suggests the people leaning forward to catch Jesus’ every word.

[9:53]  ⁵ tn Grk “they”; the referent (the villagers) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[9:53]  ⁶ tn Or “did not receive”; this verb, δέχομαι (decomai), is a term of hospitality or welcome (L&N 34.53).

[9:53]  ⁷ tn Grk “because his face was set toward Jerusalem.”

[9:53]  sn Jerusalem is to be the place of rejection, as Luke 9:44 suggested. Jesus had resolved to meet his fate in Jerusalem, so the rejection was no surprise.
