NET Notes: Luk 6:10

¹ tn Grk “And after.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

² tn The aorist participle περιβλεψάμενος (peribleyameno") has been translated as antecedent (prior) to the action of the main verb. It could also be translated as contemporaneous (“Looking around… he said”).

³ tn Grk “him”; the referent (the man with the withered hand) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁴ tn Grk “he”; the referent (the man) has been specified in the translation for clarity. Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

⁵ sn The passive was restored points to healing by God. Now the question became: Would God exercise his power through Jesus, if what Jesus was doing were wrong? Note also Jesus’ “labor.” He simply spoke and it was so.
