Lukas 8:27

8:27 As ¹  Jesus ²  stepped ashore, ³  a certain man from the town ⁴  met him who was possessed by demons. ⁵  For a long time this man ⁶  had worn no clothes and had not lived in a house, but among ⁷  the tombs.

Lukas 8:35

8:35 So ⁸  the people went out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus. They ⁹  found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid.

Lukas 12:27

12:27 Consider how the flowers ¹⁰  grow; they do not work ¹¹  or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed like one of these!

[8:27]  ¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[8:27]  ² tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:27]  ³ tn Grk “stepped out on land.”

[8:27]  ⁴ tn Or “city.”

[8:27]  ⁵ tn Grk “who had demons.”

[8:27]  ⁶ tn Grk “he”; the referent (the demon-possessed man) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:27]  ⁷ tn Or “in.”

[8:35]  ⁸ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate the people’s response to the report.

[8:35]  ⁹ tn Grk “Jesus, and they.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[12:27]  ¹⁰ tn Traditionally, “lilies.” According to L&N 3.32, “Though traditionally κρίνον has been regarded as a type of lily, scholars have suggested several other possible types of flowers, including an anemone, a poppy, a gladiolus, and a rather inconspicuous type of daisy.” In view of the uncertainty, the more generic “flowers” has been used in the translation.

[12:27]  ¹¹ tn Traditionally, “toil.” Although it might be argued that “work hard” would be a more precise translation of κοπιάω (kopiaw) here, the line in English scans better in terms of cadence with a single syllable.
