Luke 1:16

1:16 He will turn many of the people of Israel to the Lord their God.

Luke 14:16

14:16 But Jesus said to him, “A man once gave a great banquet and invited many guests.

Luke 7:21

7:21 At that very time Jesus cured many people of diseases, sicknesses, 10  and evil spirits, and granted 11  sight to many who were blind.

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

sn The word translated will turn is a good summary term for repentance and denotes John’s call to a change of direction (Luke 3:1-14).

tn Grk “sons”; but clearly this is a generic reference to people of both genders.

tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

tn Or “dinner.”

sn Presumably those invited would have sent a reply with the invitation stating their desire to attend, much like a modern R.S.V.P. Then they waited for the servant to announce the beginning of the celebration (D. L. Bock, Luke [BECNT], 2:1272).

tn The word “guests” is not in the Greek text but is implied.

tn Grk “In that hour.”

tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

tn Grk “and sicknesses,” 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.

10 tn Or “and bestowed (sight) on.”
