Lukas 1:75

1:75 in holiness and righteousness ¹  before him for as long as we live. ² 

Lukas 4:10

4:10 for it is written, ‘He will command his angels concerning you, to protect you,’ ³ 

Lukas 4:44

4:44 So ⁴  he continued to preach in the synagogues of Judea. ⁵ 

Lukas 6:28

6:28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat ⁶  you.

Lukas 11:54

11:54 plotting against ⁷  him, to catch ⁸  him in something he might say.

Lukas 22:51

22:51 But Jesus said, ⁹  “Enough of this!” And he touched the man’s ¹⁰  ear and healed ¹¹  him.

[1:75]  ¹ sn The phrases that we…might serve him…in holiness and righteousness from Luke 1:74-75 well summarize a basic goal for a believer in the eyes of Luke. Salvation frees us up to serve God without fear through a life full of ethical integrity.

[1:75]  ² tn Grk “all our days.”

[4:10]  ³ sn A quotation from Ps 91:11 by the devil. This was not so much an incorrect citation as a use in a wrong context (a misapplication of the passage).

[4:44]  ⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the summarization.

[4:44]  ⁵ tc Most mss (A D Θ Ψ Ë¹³ 33 Ï latt) have “of Galilee”; others, “of the Jews” (W). “Judea” (read by Ì⁷⁵ א B Q 579 892 pc sa, and [with minor variation] C L ˹ 1241) is probably the original reading since it is both the harder reading and supported by the best witnesses. “Galilee” is an assimilation to Mark 1:39 and Matt 4:23.

[6:28]  ⁶ tn The substantival participle ἐπηρεαζόντων (ephreazontwn), sometimes translated “those who abuse” (NRSV), is better rendered “those who mistreat,” a more general term (see L&N 88.129).

[11:54]  ⁷ tn Grk “lying in ambush against,” but this is a figurative extension of that meaning.

[11:54]  ⁸ tn This term was often used in a hunting context (BDAG 455 s.v. θηρεύω; L&N 27.30). Later examples of this appear in Luke 20.

[22:51]  ⁹ tn Grk “But answering, Jesus said.” This is redundant in contemporary English and has been simplified in the translation.

[22:51]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “his”; the referent (the slave of the high priest mentioned in the previous verse) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:51]  ¹¹ sn When Jesus healed the man’s ear he showed grace even to those who hated him, following his own teaching (Luke 6:27-36).
