Lukas 5:25

5:25 Immediately ¹  he stood up before them, picked ²  up the stretcher ³  he had been lying on, and went home, glorifying ⁴  God.

Lukas 11:37

Rebuking the Pharisees and Experts in the Law

11:37 As he spoke, ⁵  a Pharisee ⁶  invited Jesus ⁷  to have a meal with him, so he went in and took his place at the table. ⁸ 

Lukas 20:15

20:15 So ⁹  they threw him out of the vineyard and killed ¹⁰  him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?

Lukas 22:20

22:20 And in the same way he took ¹¹  the cup after they had eaten, ¹²  saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant ¹³  in my blood.

[5:25]  ¹ tn Grk “And immediately.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[5:25]  ² tn Grk “and picked up.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because contemporary English normally places a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series.

[5:25]  ³ tn Grk “picked up what he had been lying on”; the referent of the relative pronoun (the stretcher) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[5:25]  ⁴ sn Note the man’s response, glorifying God. Joy at God’s work is also a key theme in Luke: 2:20; 4:15; 5:26; 7:16; 13:13; 17:15; 18:43; 23:47.

[11:37]  ⁵ tn The use of the aorist infinitive here should probably be translated “as he spoke” rather than “while he was speaking” (see ExSyn 595). The Pharisee did not necessarily interrupt Jesus to issue the invitation.

[11:37]  ⁶ sn See the note on Pharisees in 5:17.

[11:37]  ⁷ tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[11:37]  ⁸ tn Grk “and reclined at table,” as 1st century middle eastern meals were not eaten while sitting at a table, but while reclining on one’s side on the floor with the head closest to the low table and the feet farthest away.

[20:15]  ⁹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the tenants’ decision to kill the son.

[20:15]  ¹⁰ sn Throwing the heir out of the vineyard pictures Jesus’ death outside of Jerusalem.

[22:20]  ¹¹ tn The words “he took” are not in the Greek text at this point, but are an understood repetition from v. 19.

[22:20]  ¹² tn The phrase “after they had eaten” translates the temporal infinitive construction μετὰ τὸ δειπνῆσαι (meta to deipnhsai), where the verb δειπνέω (deipnew) means “to eat a meal” or “to have a meal.”

[22:20]  ¹³ sn Jesus’ death established the forgiveness promised in the new covenant of Jer 31:31. Jesus is reinterpreting the symbolism of the Passover meal, indicating the presence of a new era.
