Matthew 15:30

15:30 Then ¹  large crowds came to him bringing with them the lame, blind, crippled, mute, and many others. They ²  laid them at his feet, and he healed them.

Luke 7:22

7:22 So ³  he answered them, ⁴  “Go tell ⁵  John what you have seen and heard: ⁶  The blind see, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the ⁷  deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have good news proclaimed to them.

¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “Then.”

² tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the relationship to Jesus’ miraculous cures in the preceding sentence.

⁴ tn Grk “answering, he said to them.” This is redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation to “he answered them.”

⁵ sn The same verb has been translated “inform” in 7:18.

⁶ sn What you have seen and heard. The following activities all paraphrase various OT descriptions of the time of promised salvation: Isa 35:5-6; 26:19; 29:18-19; 61:1. Jesus is answering not by acknowledging a title, but by pointing to the nature of his works, thus indicating the nature of the time.

⁷ tn Grk “and the,” but καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
