Luke 1:56

1:56 So ¹  Mary stayed with Elizabeth ²  about three months ³  and then returned to her home.

Luke 10:36

10:36 Which of these three do you think became a neighbor ⁴  to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?”

Luke 13:21

13:21 It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with ⁵  three measures ⁶  of flour until all the dough had risen.” ⁷ 

¹ tn Grk “And.” Here (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the conclusion of the topic.

² tn Grk “her”; the referent (Elizabeth) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

³ sn As is typical with Luke the timing is approximate (about three months), not specific.

⁴ sn Jesus reversed the question the expert in religious law asked in v. 29 to one of becoming a neighbor by loving. “Do not think about who they are, but who you are,” was his reply.

⁷ tn Grk “hid in.”

⁸ sn This measure was a saton, the Greek name for the Hebrew term “seah.” Three of these was a very large quantity of flour, since a saton is a little over 16 lbs (7 kg) of dry measure (or 13.13 liters). So this was over 47 lbs (21 kg) of flour total, enough to feed over a hundred people.

⁹ tn Grk “it was all leavened.”
