[2:22] 1 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.
[2:22] 2 tc The translation follows most
[2:22] tn Or “when the days of their purification were completed.” In addition to the textual problem concerning the plural pronoun (which apparently includes Joseph in the process) there is also a question whether the term translated “purification” (καθαρισμός, kaqarismo") refers to the time period prescribed by the Mosaic law or to the offering itself which marked the end of the time period (cf. NLT, “it was time for the purification offering”).
[2:22] sn Exegetically the plural pronoun “their” creates a problem. It was Mary’s purification that was required by law, forty days after the birth (Lev 12:2-4). However, it is possible that Joseph shared in a need to be purified by having to help with the birth or that they also dedicated the child as a first born (Exod 13:2), which would also require a sacrifice that Joseph would bring. Luke’s point is that the parents followed the law. They were pious.
[2:22] 3 tn Grk “they”; the referents (Joseph and Mary) have been specified in the translation for clarity.
[2:22] 4 tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[2:38] 6 tn Grk “at that very hour.”
[2:38] 7 tn Grk “And coming up.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style. The participle ἐπιστᾶσα (epistasa) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.
[2:38] 8 tn The imperfect ἐλάλει (elalei) here looks at a process of declaration, not a single moment. She clearly was led by God to address men and women about the hope Jesus was. The testimony of Luke 1—2 to Jesus has involved all types of people.
[2:38] 9 tn Grk “him”; the referent (the child) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[2:43] 11 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated contrastively in keeping with the context. This outcome is different from what had happened all the times before.
[2:43] 12 tn Grk “when the days ended.”
[2:43] 13 tn The word “home” is not in the Greek text, but has been supplied for clarity.
[2:43] 14 tn Grk “And his.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
[2:43] 15 tc Most
[2:46] 16 tn Grk “And it happened that after.” 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. Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
[2:46] 17 sn Three days means there was one day out, another day back, and a third day of looking in Jerusalem.
[2:46] 18 tn Grk “the temple.”
[2:46] 19 tn This is the only place in Luke’s Gospel where the term διδάσκαλος (didaskalo", “teacher”) is applied to Jews.
[5:18] 20 tn Grk “And behold.” Here καὶ ἰδού (kai idou) has been translated as “just then” to indicate the somewhat sudden appearance of the men carrying the paralytic. The Greek word ἰδού (idou) has no exact English equivalent here, but adds interest and emphasis (BDAG 468 s.v. 1), especially in conjunction with the suddenness of the stretcher-bearers’ appearance.
[5:18] 21 tn Grk “a man who was paralyzed”; the relative clause in Greek has adjectival force and has been simplified to a simple adjective in the translation.
[5:18] 22 tn Traditionally, “on a bed,” but this could be confusing to the modern reader who might envision a large piece of furniture. In various contexts, κλίνη (klinh) may be translated “bed, couch, cot, stretcher, or bier” (in the case of a corpse). See L&N 6.106.
[5:18] 23 tn Grk “stretcher, and.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style. Instead, because of the tendency of contemporary English to use shorter sentences, a new sentence was begun here in the translation.
[5:18] 24 tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[7:41] 25 sn A creditor was a moneylender, whose business was to lend money to others at a fixed rate of interest.
[7:41] 26 tn The word “him” is not in the Greek text, but is implied.
[7:41] 27 tn Grk “five hundred denarii.”
[7:41] sn The silver coins were denarii. The denarius was worth about a day’s wage for a laborer; this would be an amount worth not quite two years’ pay. The debts were significant: They represented two months’ pay and one and three quarter years’ pay (20 months) based on a six day work week.
[8:2] 28 sn There is an important respect shown to women in this text, as their contributions were often ignored in ancient society.
[8:2] 29 tn Or “illnesses.” The term ἀσθένεια (asqeneia) refers to the state of being ill and thus incapacitated in some way – “illness, disability, weakness.” (L&N 23.143).
[8:2] 30 sn This Mary is not the woman mentioned in the previous passage (as some church fathers claimed), because she is introduced as a new figure here. In addition, she is further specified by Luke with the notation called Magdalene, which seems to distinguish her from the woman at Simon the Pharisee’s house.
[8:38] 31 tn Grk “be,” that is, “remain.” In this context that would involve accompanying Jesus as he went on his way.
[8:38] 32 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[23:46] 33 sn A quotation from Ps 31:5. It is a psalm of trust. The righteous, innocent sufferer trusts in God. Luke does not have the cry of pain from Ps 22:1 (cf. Matt 27:46; Mark 15:34), but notes Jesus’ trust instead.
