Luke 5:13

Luke 7:14

7:14 Then ⁹  he came up ¹⁰  and touched ¹¹  the bier, ¹²  and those who carried it stood still. He ¹³  said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!”

Luke 8:47

¹ tn Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

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

³ sn The edge of his cloak refers to the kraspedon, the blue tassel on the garment that symbolized a Jewish man’s obedience to the law (cf. Num 15:37-41). The woman thus touched the very part of Jesus’ clothing that indicated his ritual purity.

⁴ tn Grk “garment,” but here ἱμάτιον (Jimation) denotes the outer garment in particular.

⁵ tn Grk “the flow of her blood.”

⁶ tn This is a consummative perfect. Jesus sensed that someone had approached him to be healed, as his reference to power makes clear. The perception underlies Jesus’ prophetic sense as well.

¹¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the response of Jesus to the man’s request.

¹² sn Touched. This touch would have rendered Jesus ceremonially unclean (Lev 14:46; also Mishnah, m. Nega’im 3.1; 11.1; 12.1; 13.6-12).

¹⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

¹⁷ tn Grk “coming up, he touched.” The participle προσελθών (proselqwn) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

¹⁸ 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).

¹⁹ 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.

²⁰ tn Grk “And he.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

²¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

²² tn Or “could not remain unnoticed” (see L&N 28.83).

²³ tn Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation. The order of the clauses in the remainder of the verse has been rearranged to reflect contemporary English style.

²⁴ tn Grk “told for what reason.”
