Lukas 1:80

1:80 And the child kept growing ¹  and becoming strong ²  in spirit, and he was in the wilderness ³  until the day he was revealed ⁴  to Israel.

Lukas 17:10

17:10 So you too, when you have done everything you were commanded to do, should say, ‘We are slaves undeserving of special praise; ⁵  we have only done what was our duty.’” ⁶ 

Lukas 18:43

18:43 And immediately he regained ⁷  his sight and followed Jesus, ⁸  praising ⁹  God. When ¹⁰  all the people saw it, they too ¹¹  gave praise to God.

Lukas 19:37

19:37 As he approached the road leading down from ¹²  the Mount of Olives, ¹³  the whole crowd of his ¹⁴  disciples began to rejoice ¹⁵  and praise ¹⁶  God with a loud voice for all the mighty works ¹⁷  they had seen: ¹⁸ 

[1:80]  ¹ tn This verb is imperfect.

[1:80]  ² tn This verb is also imperfect.

[1:80]  ³ tn Or “desert.”

[1:80]  ⁴ tn Grk “until the day of his revealing.”

[17:10]  ⁵ tn Some translations describe the slaves as “worthless” (NRSV) or “unworthy” (NASB, NIV) but that is not Jesus’ point. These disciples have not done anything deserving special commendation or praise (L&N 33.361), but only what would normally be expected of a slave in such a situation (thus the translation “we have only done what was our duty”).

[17:10]  ⁶ tn Or “we have only done what we were supposed to do.”

[18:43]  ⁷ tn Or “received” (see the note on the phrase “let me see again” in v. 41).

[18:43]  ⁸ tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[18:43]  ⁹ sn The presence of God’s work leads again to joy, with both the beggar and the people praising God (1:64; 2:20; 5:25-26; 7:16; 13:13; 17:15; 19:37).

[18:43]  ¹⁰ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[18:43]  ¹¹ tn The word “too” has been supplied for stylistic reasons.

[19:37]  ¹² tn Grk “the descent of”; this could refer to either the slope of the hillside itself or the path leading down from it (the second option has been adopted for the translation, see L&N 15.109).

[19:37]  ¹³ sn See the note on the name Mount of Olives in v. 29.

[19:37]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “the”; the Greek article has been translated here as a possessive pronoun (ExSyn 215).

[19:37]  ¹⁵ tn Here the participle χαίροντες (caironte") has been translated as a finite verb in English; it could also be translated adverbially as a participle of manner: “began to praise God joyfully.”

[19:37]  ¹⁶ sn See 2:13, 20; Acts 2:47; 3:8-9.

[19:37]  ¹⁷ tn Or “works of power,” “miracles.” Jesus’ ministry of miracles is what has drawn attention. See Luke 7:22.

[19:37]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “they had seen, saying.” The participle λέγοντες (legontes) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.
