Lukas 19:23

19:23 Why then didn’t you put ¹  my money in the bank, ²  so that when I returned I could have collected it with interest?’

Lukas 4:14

The Beginning of Jesus’ Ministry in Galilee

4:14 Then ³  Jesus, in the power of the Spirit, ⁴  returned to Galilee, and news about him spread ⁵  throughout the surrounding countryside. ⁶ 

[19:23]  ¹ tn That is, “If you really feared me why did you not do a minimum to get what I asked for?”

[19:23]  ² tn Grk “on the table”; the idiom refers to a place where money is kept or managed, or credit is established, thus “bank” (L&N 57.215).

[4:14]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[4:14]  ⁴ sn Once again Jesus is directed by the Spirit. Luke makes a point about Jesus’ association with the Spirit early in his ministry (3:22, 4:1 [2x]; 4:18).

[4:14]  ⁵ tn Grk “went out.”

[4:14]  ⁶ tn Grk “all the surrounding region.”
