Luke 1:71

1:71 that we should be saved ¹  from our enemies, ² 

and from the hand of all who hate us.

Luke 4:11

4:11 and ‘with their hands they will lift you up, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’” ³ 

Luke 8:54

8:54 But Jesus ⁴  gently took her by the hand and said, ⁵  “Child, get up.”

Luke 13:13

13:13 Then ⁶  he placed his hands on her, and immediately ⁷  she straightened up and praised God.

Luke 22:21

A Final Discourse

22:21 “But look, the hand of the one who betrays ⁸  me is with me on the table. ⁹ 

Luke 24:40

24:40 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. ¹⁰ 

¹ tn Grk “from long ago, salvation.”

² sn The theme of being saved from our enemies is like the release Jesus preached in Luke 4:18-19. Luke’s narrative shows that one of the enemies in view is Satan and his cohorts, with the grip they have on humanity.

³ sn A quotation from Ps 91:12.

⁵ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁶ tn Grk “and called, saying.” This is redundant in contemporary English and has been simplified in the translation to “and said.”

⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

⁸ sn The healing took place immediately.

⁹ sn The one who betrays me. Jesus knows about Judas and what he has done.

¹⁰ sn The point of Jesus’ comment here is not to identify the specific individual per se, but to indicate that it is one who was close to him – somebody whom no one would suspect. His comment serves to heighten the treachery of Judas’ betrayal.

¹¹ tc Some Western mss (D it) lack 24:40. However, it is present in all other mss, including Ì⁷⁵, and should thus be regarded as an original part of Luke’s Gospel.
