Lukas 1:20

1:20 And now, ¹  because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time, ²  you will be silent, unable to speak, ³  until the day these things take place.”

Lukas 2:48

2:48 When ⁴  his parents ⁵  saw him, they were overwhelmed. His ⁶  mother said to him, “Child, ⁷  why have you treated ⁸  us like this? Look, your father and I have been looking for you anxiously.” ⁹ 

Lukas 3:3

3:3 He ¹⁰  went into all the region around the Jordan River, ¹¹  preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. ¹² 

Lukas 8:39

8:39 “Return to your home, ¹³  and declare ¹⁴  what God has done for you.” ¹⁵  So ¹⁶  he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole town ¹⁷  what Jesus ¹⁸  had done for him.

Lukas 14:5

14:5 Then ¹⁹  he said to them, “Which of you, if you have a son ²⁰  or an ox that has fallen into a well on a Sabbath day, will not immediately pull him out?”

Lukas 15:4

15:4 “Which one ²¹  of you, if he has a hundred ²²  sheep and loses one of them, would not leave the ninety-nine in the open pasture ²³  and go look for ²⁴  the one that is lost until he finds it? ²⁵ 

Lukas 16:16

16:16 “The law and the prophets were in force ²⁶  until John; ²⁷  since then, ²⁸  the good news of the kingdom of God ²⁹  has been proclaimed, and everyone is urged to enter it. ³⁰ 

Lukas 17:7

17:7 “Would any one of you say ³¹  to your slave ³²  who comes in from the field after plowing or shepherding sheep, ‘Come at once and sit down for a meal’? ³³ 

Lukas 19:3

19:3 He ³⁴  was trying to get a look at Jesus, ³⁵  but being a short man he could not see over the crowd. ³⁶ 

Lukas 21:11

21:11 There will be great earthquakes, and famines ³⁷  and plagues in various places, and there will be terrifying sights ³⁸  and great signs ³⁹  from heaven.

Lukas 22:10

22:10 He said to them, “Listen, ⁴⁰  when you have entered the city, a man carrying a jar of water ⁴¹  will meet you. ⁴²  Follow him into the house that he enters,

Lukas 23:5

23:5 But they persisted ⁴³  in saying, “He incites ⁴⁴  the people by teaching throughout all Judea. It started in Galilee and ended up here!” ⁴⁵ 

[1:20]  ¹ tn Grk “behold.”

[1:20]  ² sn The predicted fulfillment in the expression my words, which will be fulfilled in their time takes place in Luke 1:63-66.

[1:20]  ³ sn Silent, unable to speak. Actually Zechariah was deaf and mute as 1:61-63 indicates, since others had to use gestures to communicate with him.

[2:48]  ⁴ tn Grk “And when.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[2:48]  ⁵ tn Grk “when they”; the referent (his parents) has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[2:48]  ⁶ tn Grk “And his.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[2:48]  ⁷ tn The Greek word here is τέκνον (teknon) rather than υἱός (Juios, “son”).

[2:48]  ⁸ tn Or “Child, why did you do this to us?”

[2:48]  ⁹ tn Or “your father and I have been terribly worried looking for you.”

[3:3]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “And he.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style. Due to the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[3:3]  ¹¹ tn “River” is not in the Greek text but is supplied for clarity.

[3:3]  ¹² sn A baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins was a call for preparation for the arrival of the Lord’s salvation. To participate in this baptism was a recognition of the need for God’s forgiveness with a sense that one needed to live differently as a response to it (Luke 3:10-14).

[8:39]  ¹³ tn Grk “your house.”

[8:39]  ¹⁴ tn Or “describe.”

[8:39]  ¹⁵ sn Jesus instructs the man to declare what God has done for him, in contrast to the usual instructions (e.g., 8:56; 9:21) to remain silent. Here in Gentile territory Jesus allowed more open discussion of his ministry. D. L. Bock (Luke [BECNT], 1:781) suggests that with few Jewish religious representatives present, there would be less danger of misunderstanding Jesus’ ministry as political.

[8:39]  ¹⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the man’s response to Jesus’ instructions.

[8:39]  ¹⁷ tn Or “city.”

[8:39]  ¹⁸ sn Note that the man could not separate what God had done from the one through whom God had done it (what Jesus had done for him). This man was called to witness to God’s goodness at home.

[14:5]  ¹⁹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[14:5]  ²⁰ tc Here “son,” found in Ì^45,75 (A) B W Ï, is the preferred reading. The other reading, “donkey” (found in א K L Ψ Ë^1,13 33 579 892 1241 2542 al lat bo), looks like an assimilation to Luke 13:15 and Deut 22:4; Isa 32:20, and was perhaps motivated by an attempt to soften the unusual collocation of “son” and “ox.” The Western ms D differs from all others and reads “sheep.”

[15:4]  ²¹ tn Grk “What man.” The Greek word ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") is used here in a somewhat generic sense.

[15:4]  ²² sn This individual with a hundred sheep is a shepherd of modest means, as flocks often had up to two hundred head of sheep.

[15:4]  ²³ tn Or “desert,” but here such a translation might suggest neglect of the 99 sheep left behind.

[15:4]  ²⁴ tn Grk “go after,” but in contemporary English the idiom “to look for” is used to express this.

[15:4]  ²⁵ sn Until he finds it. The parable pictures God’s pursuit of the sinner. On the image of Jesus as the Good Shepherd, see John 10:1-18.

[16:16]  ²⁶ tn There is no verb in the Greek text; one must be supplied. Some translations (NASB, NIV) supply “proclaimed” based on the parallelism with the proclamation of the kingdom. The transitional nature of this verse, however, seems to call for something more like “in effect” (NRSV) or, as used here, “in force.” Further, Greek generally can omit one of two kinds of verbs – either the equative verb or one that is already mentioned in the preceding context (ExSyn 39).

[16:16]  ²⁷ sn John refers to John the Baptist.

[16:16]  ²⁸ sn Until John; since then. This verse indicates a shift in era, from law to kingdom.

[16:16]  ²⁹ sn The kingdom of God is a major theme of Jesus. It is a realm in which Jesus rules and to which those who trust him belong. See Luke 6:20; 11:20; 17:20-21.

[16:16]  ³⁰ tn Many translations have “entereth violently into it” (ASV) or “is forcing his way into it” (NASB, NIV). This is not true of everyone. It is better to read the verb here as passive rather than middle, and in a softened sense of “be urged.” See Gen 33:11; Judg 13:15-16; 19:7; 2 Sam 3:25, 27 in the LXX. This fits the context well because it agrees with Jesus’ attempt to persuade his opponents to respond morally. For further discussion and details, see D. L. Bock, Luke (BECNT), 2:1352-53.

[17:7]  ³¹ tn Grk “Who among you, having a slave… would say to him.”

[17:7]  ³² tn See the note on the word “slave” in 7:2.

[17:7]  ³³ tn Grk “and recline 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. See BDAG 70 s.v. ἀναπίπτω 1.

[19:3]  ³⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[19:3]  ³⁵ tn Grk “He was trying to see who Jesus was.”

[19:3]  ³⁶ tn Grk “and he was not able to because of the crowd, for he was short in stature.”

[21:11]  ³⁷ sn See Isa 5:13-14; 13:6-16; Hag 2:6-7; Zech 14:4.

[21:11]  ³⁸ tn This term, φόβητρον (fobhtron), occurs only here in the NT. It could refer to an object, event, or condition that causes fear, but in the context it is linked with great signs from heaven, so the translation “sights” was preferred.

[21:11]  ³⁹ sn See Jer 4:13-22; 14:12; 21:6-7.

[22:10]  ⁴⁰ tn Grk “behold.”

[22:10]  ⁴¹ sn Since women usually carried these jars, it would have been no problem for Peter and John to recognize the man Jesus was referring to.

[22:10]  ⁴² sn Jesus is portrayed throughout Luke 22-23 as very aware of what will happen, almost directing events. Here this is indicated by his prediction that a man carrying a jar of water will meet you.

[23:5]  ⁴³ tn Or “were adamant.” For “persisted in saying,” see L&N 68.71.

[23:5]  ⁴⁴ sn He incites the people. The Jewish leadership claimed that Jesus was a political threat and had to be stopped. By reiterating this charge of stirring up rebellion, they pressured Pilate to act, or be accused of overlooking political threats to Rome.

[23:5]  ⁴⁵ tn Grk “beginning from Galilee until here.”
