Luke 6:8

6:8 But ¹  he knew ²  their thoughts, ³  and said to the man who had the withered hand, “Get up and stand here.” ⁴  So ⁵  he rose and stood there.

Luke 7:14

7:14 Then ⁶  he came up ⁷  and touched ⁸  the bier, ⁹  and those who carried it stood still. He ¹⁰  said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!”

¹ tn Here the conjunction δέ (de) has been translated as contrastive.

² sn The statement that Jesus knew their thoughts adds a prophetic note to his response; see Luke 5:22.

³ tn Grk “their reasonings.” The implication is that Jesus knew his opponents’ plans and motives, so the translation “thoughts” was used here.

⁴ sn Most likely synagogues were arranged with benches along the walls and open space in the center for seating on the floor.

⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the man’s action was a result of Jesus’ order.

⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

⁷ tn Grk “coming up, he touched.” The participle προσελθών (proselqwn) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

⁸ sn The act of having touched the bier would have rendered Jesus ceremonially unclean, but it did not matter to him, since he was expressing his personal concern (Num 19:11, 16).

⁹ sn Although sometimes translated “coffin,” the bier was actually a stretcher or wooden plank on which the corpse was transported to the place of burial. See L&N 6.109.

¹⁰ tn Grk “And he.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
