Luke 2:20

2:20 So ¹  the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising ²  God for all they had heard and seen; everything was just as they had been told. ³ 

Luke 9:32

9:32 Now Peter and those with him were quite sleepy, ⁴  but as they became fully awake, ⁵  they saw his glory and the two men standing with him.

Luke 23:48

23:48 And all the crowds that had assembled for this spectacle, when they saw what had taken place, returned home beating their breasts. ⁶ 

¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the conclusion of the topic.

² sn The mention of glorifying and praising God is the second note of praise in this section; see Luke 2:13-14.

³ tn Grk “just as [it] had been spoken to them.” This has been simplified in the English translation by making the prepositional phrase (“to them”) the subject of the passive verb.

⁴ tn Grk “weighed down with sleep” (an idiom).

⁵ tn Or “after they became fully awake,” “but they became fully awake and saw.”

⁷ sn Some apparently regretted what had taken place. Beating their breasts was a sign of lamentation.
