Lukas 7:7

7:7 That is why ¹  I did not presume ²  to come to you. Instead, say the word, and my servant must be healed. ³ 

Lukas 22:33

22:33 But Peter ⁴  said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!” ⁵ 

[7:7]  ¹ tn Or “roof; therefore.”

[7:7]  ² tn Grk “I did not consider myself worthy to come to you.” See BDAG 94 s.v. ἀξιόω 1. “Presume” assumes this and expresses the idea in terms of offense.

[7:7]  ³ tc The aorist imperative ἰαθήτω (iaqhtw, “must be healed”) is found in Ì^75vid B L 1241 sa. Most mss (א A C D W Θ Ψ Ë^1,13 33 Ï latt bo) have instead a future indicative, ἰαθήσεται (iaqhsetai, “will be healed”). This is most likely an assimilation to Matt 8:8, and thus, as a motivated reading, should be considered secondary. The meaning either way is essentially the same.

[7:7]  tn The aorist imperative may be translated as an imperative of command (“must be healed” or, more periphrastically, “command [my servant] to be healed”) or as a permissive imperative (“let my servant be healed”), which lessens the force of the imperative somewhat in English.

[22:33]  ⁴ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Peter) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:33]  ⁵ sn The confidence Peter has in private (Lord, I am ready…) will wilt under the pressure of the public eye.
