Lukas 8:37

8:37 Then ¹  all the people of the Gerasenes ²  and the surrounding region ³  asked Jesus ⁴  to leave them alone, ⁵  for they were seized with great fear. ⁶  So ⁷  he got into the boat and left. ⁸ 

Lukas 8:24

8:24 They ⁹  came ¹⁰  and woke him, saying, “Master, Master, ¹¹  we are about to die!” So ¹²  he got up and rebuked ¹³  the wind and the raging waves; ¹⁴  they died down, and it was calm.

Lukas 8:47

8:47 When ¹⁵  the woman saw that she could not escape notice, ¹⁶  she came trembling and fell down before him. In ¹⁷  the presence of all the people, she explained why ¹⁸  she had touched him and how she had been immediately healed.

[8:37]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[8:37]  ² tc See the tc note on “Gerasenes” in v. 26 for the same geographical options for the textual variants.

[8:37]  ³ tn Grk “all the people of the surrounding region of the Gerasenes,” but according to L&N 1.80, “περίχωρος may include not only the surrounding region but also the point of reference, for example…‘the Gerasenes and the people living around them’ Lk 8:37.”

[8:37]  ⁴ tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:37]  ⁵ tn Or “to depart from them.”

[8:37]  ⁶ sn Again there is great fear at God’s activity, but there is a different reaction. Some people want nothing to do with God’s presence. Mark 5:16 hints that economic reasons motivated their request.

[8:37]  ⁷ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate that Jesus’ departure was the result of the Gerasenes’ response. A new sentence was started in the translation at this point for stylistic reasons.

[8:37]  ⁸ tn Grk “returned,” but the effect is that he departed from the Gerasene region.

[8:24]  ⁹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[8:24]  ¹⁰ tn The participle προσελθόντες (proselqonte") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[8:24]  ¹¹ tn The double vocative shows great emotion.

[8:24]  ¹² tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate the connection to the preceding events.

[8:24]  ¹³ tn Or “commanded” (often with the implication of a threat, L&N 33.331).

[8:24]  ¹⁴ sn Who has authority over the seas and winds is discussed in the OT: Ps 104:3; 135:7; 107:23-30. When Jesus rebuked the wind and the raging waves he was making a statement about who he was.

[8:47]  ¹⁵ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[8:47]  ¹⁶ tn Or “could not remain unnoticed” (see L&N 28.83).

[8:47]  ¹⁷ tn Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation. The order of the clauses in the remainder of the verse has been rearranged to reflect contemporary English style.

[8:47]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “told for what reason.”
