Luke 11:36

11:36 If ¹  then ²  your whole body is full of light, with no part in the dark, ³  it will be as full of light as when the light of a lamp shines on you.” ⁴ 

Luke 9:25

9:25 For what does it benefit a person ⁵  if he gains the whole world but loses or forfeits himself?

Luke 13:21

13:21 It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with ⁶  three measures ⁷  of flour until all the dough had risen.” ⁸ 

Luke 11:34

11:34 Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is healthy, ⁹  your whole body is full of light, but when it is diseased, ¹⁰  your body is full of darkness.

¹ tn This is a first class condition in the Greek text, so the example ends on a hopeful, positive note.

² tn Grk “Therefore”; the same conjunction as at the beginning of v. 35, but since it indicates a further inference or conclusion, it has been translated “then” here.

³ tn Grk “not having any part dark.”

⁴ tn Grk “it will be completely illumined as when a lamp illumines you with its rays.”

⁵ tn Grk “a man,” but ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") is used in a generic sense here to refer to both men and women.

⁹ tn Grk “hid in.”

¹⁰ 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.

¹¹ tn Grk “it was all leavened.”

¹³ tn Or “sound” (so L&N 23.132 and most scholars). A few scholars take this word to mean something like “generous” here (L&N 57.107), partly due to the immediate context of this saying in Matt 6:22 which concerns money, in which case the “eye” is a metonymy for the entire person (“if you are generous”).

¹⁴ tn Or “when it is sick” (L&N 23.149).
