Luke 1:22

1:22 When ¹  he came out, he was not able to speak to them. They ²  realized that he had seen a vision ³  in the holy place, ⁴  because ⁵  he was making signs to them and remained unable to speak. ⁶ 

Luke 7:22

7:22 So ⁷  he answered them, ⁸  “Go tell ⁹  John what you have seen and heard: ¹⁰  The blind see, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the ¹¹  deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have good news proclaimed to them.

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

² tn Grk “and they.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

³ tn That is, “he had had a supernatural encounter in the holy place,” since the angel came to Zechariah by the altar. This was not just a “mental experience.”

⁴ tn Or “temple.” See the note on the phrase “the holy place” in v. 9.

⁵ tn Grk “and,” but the force is causal or explanatory in context.

⁶ tn Grk “dumb,” but this could be understood to mean “stupid” in contemporary English, whereas the point is that he was speechless.

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

⁸ tn Grk “answering, he said to them.” This is redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation to “he answered them.”

⁹ sn The same verb has been translated “inform” in 7:18.

¹⁰ 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.

¹¹ 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.
