Lukas 1:23

1:23 When his time of service was over, ¹  he went to his home.

Lukas 19:36

19:36 As ²  he rode along, they ³  spread their cloaks on the road.

[1:23]  ¹ tn Grk “And it happened that as the days of his service were ended.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[19:36]  ² tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[19:36]  ³ tn The disciples initiated this action (since in 19:35 and 37 they are the subject) but the other gospels indicate the crowds also became involved. Thus it is difficult to specify the referent here as “the disciples” or “people.”
