Lukas 7:15

7:15 So ¹  the dead man ²  sat up and began to speak, and Jesus ³  gave him back ⁴  to his mother.

Lukas 7:22

7:22 So ⁵  he answered them, ⁶  “Go tell ⁷  John what you have seen and heard: ⁸  The blind see, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the ⁹  deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have good news proclaimed to them.

[7:15]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the result of Jesus’ command.

[7:15]  ² tn Or “the deceased.”

[7:15]  ³ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[7:15]  ⁴ tn In the context, the verb δίδωμι (didwmi) has been translated “gave back” rather than simply “gave.”

[7:22]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the relationship to Jesus’ miraculous cures in the preceding sentence.

[7:22]  ⁶ tn Grk “answering, he said to them.” This is redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation to “he answered them.”

[7:22]  ⁷ sn The same verb has been translated “inform” in 7:18.

[7:22]  ⁸ sn What you have seen and heard. The following activities all paraphrase various OT descriptions of the time of promised salvation: Isa 35:5-6; 26:19; 29:18-19; 61:1. Jesus is answering not by acknowledging a title, but by pointing to the nature of his works, thus indicating the nature of the time.

[7:22]  ⁹ tn Grk “and the,” but καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
