Lukas 6:7

6:7 The experts in the law ¹  and the Pharisees ²  watched ³  Jesus ⁴  closely to see if ⁵  he would heal on the Sabbath, ⁶  so that they could find a reason to accuse him.

Lukas 13:11

13:11 and a woman was there ⁷  who had been disabled by a spirit ⁸  for eighteen years. She ⁹  was bent over and could not straighten herself up completely. ¹⁰ 

Lukas 14:14

14:14 Then ¹¹  you will be blessed, ¹²  because they cannot repay you, for you will be repaid ¹³  at the resurrection of the righteous.”

Lukas 19:23

19:23 Why then didn’t you put ¹⁴  my money in the bank, ¹⁵  so that when I returned I could have collected it with interest?’

[6:7]  ¹ tn Or “The scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 5:21.

[6:7]  ² sn See the note on Pharisees in 5:17.

[6:7]  ³ sn The term translated watched…closely is emotive, since it carries negative connotations. It means they were watching him out of the corner of their eye or spying on him.

[6:7]  ⁴ tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[6:7]  ⁵ tn This is a first class condition in the Greek text; Jesus’ opponents anticipated he would do this.

[6:7]  ⁶ sn The background for this is the view that only if life was endangered should one attempt to heal on the Sabbath (see the Mishnah, m. Shabbat 6.3; 12.1; 18.3; 19.2; m. Yoma 8.6).

[13:11]  ⁷ tn Grk “and behold, a woman.” The Greek word ἰδού (idou) at the beginning of this statement has not been translated because it has no exact English equivalent here, but adds interest and emphasis (BDAG 468 s.v. 1).

[13:11]  ⁸ tn Grk “a woman having a spirit of weakness” (or “a spirit of infirmity”).

[13:11]  ⁹ tn Grk “years, and.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[13:11]  ¹⁰ tn Or “and could not straighten herself up at all.” If εἰς τὸ παντελές (ei" to pantele") is understood to modify δυναμένη (dunamenh), the meaning is “she was not able at all to straighten herself up”; but the phrase may be taken with ἀνακύψαι (anakuyai) and understood to mean the same as the adverb παντελῶς (pantelws), with the meaning “she was not able to straighten herself up completely.” See BDAG 754 s.v. παντελής 1 for further discussion. The second option is preferred in the translation because of proximity: The phrase in question follows ἀνακύψαι in the Greek text.

[14:14]  ¹¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate that this follows from the preceding action. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[14:14]  ¹² sn You will be blessed. God notes and approves of such generosity.

[14:14]  ¹³ sn The passive verb will be repaid looks at God’s commendation.

[19:23]  ¹⁴ tn That is, “If you really feared me why did you not do a minimum to get what I asked for?”

[19:23]  ¹⁵ 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).
