Luke 17:12

17:12 As he was entering a village, ten men with leprosy met him. They stood at a distance,

Luke 17:17

17:17 Then Jesus said, “Were not ten cleansed? Where are the other nine?

Luke 19:16

19:16 So the first one came before him and said, ‘Sir, 10  your mina 11  has made ten minas more.’

tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

tn The participle εἰσερχομένου (eisercomenou) is taken temporally.

sn The ten men with leprosy would have been unable to approach Jesus (Lev 13:45-46; Num 5:2-3). The ancient term for leprosy covered a wider array of conditions than what is called leprosy today. A leper was totally ostracized from society until he was declared cured (Lev 13:45-46).

tn Grk “leprosy, who.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, the relative pronoun was replaced with a personal pronoun and a new sentence started at this point in the translation.

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

tn Grk “Jesus answering said”; this is redundant in contemporary English and has been simplified in the translation.

tn The Greek construction used here (οὐχί, ouci) expects a positive reply.

tn The word “other” is implied in the context.

tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the royal summons.

10 tn Or “Lord”; or “Master.” (and so throughout this paragraph).

11 tn See the note on the word “minas” in v. 13.
