Lukas 4:19

4:19 to proclaim the year ¹  of the Lord’s favor.” ² 

Lukas 14:21

14:21 So ³  the slave came back and reported this to his master. Then the master of the household was furious ⁴  and said to his slave, ‘Go out quickly ⁵  to the streets and alleys of the city, ⁶  and bring in the poor, ⁷  the crippled, ⁸  the blind, and the lame.’

[4:19]  ¹ sn The year of the Lord’s favor (Grk “the acceptable year of the Lord”) is a description of the year of Jubilee (Lev 25:10). The year of the total forgiveness of debt is now turned into a metaphor for salvation. Jesus had come to proclaim that God was ready to forgive sin totally.

[4:19]  ² sn A quotation from Isa 61:1-2a. Within the citation is a line from Isa 58:6, with its reference to setting the oppressed free.

[14:21]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the result of the preceding responses.

[14:21]  ⁴ tn Grk “being furious, said.” The participle ὀργισθείς (orgisqei") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[14:21]  ⁵ sn It was necessary to go out quickly because the banquet was already prepared. All the food would spoil if not eaten immediately.

[14:21]  ⁶ tn Or “town.”

[14:21]  ⁷ sn The poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame. Note how the list matches v. 13, illustrating that point. Note also how the party goes on; it is not postponed until a later date. Instead new guests are invited.

[14:21]  ⁸ tn Grk “and the crippled.” Normally crippled as a result of being maimed or mutilated (L&N 23.177). Καί (kai) has not been translated here and before the following category (Grk “and the blind and the lame”) since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
