Amos 2:12

2:12 “But you made the Nazirites drink wine; ¹ 

you commanded the prophets, ‘Do not prophesy!’

Matthew 8:34

8:34 Then ²  the entire town ³  came out to meet Jesus. And when they saw him, they begged him to leave their region.

Luke 8:37-38

8:37 Then ⁴  all the people of the Gerasenes ⁵  and the surrounding region ⁶  asked Jesus ⁷  to leave them alone, ⁸  for they were seized with great fear. ⁹  So ¹⁰  he got into the boat and left. ¹¹  8:38 The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go ¹²  with him, but Jesus ¹³  sent him away, saying,

Luke 13:31

Going to Jerusalem

13:31 At that time, ¹⁴  some Pharisees ¹⁵  came up and said to Jesus, ¹⁶  “Get away from here, ¹⁷  because Herod ¹⁸  wants to kill you.”

Acts 16:39

16:39 and came ¹⁹  and apologized to them. After ²⁰  they brought them out, they asked them repeatedly ²¹  to leave the city.

[2:12]  ¹ sn Nazirites were strictly forbidden to drink wine (Num 6:2-3).

[8:34]  ² tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative. The Greek word ἰδού (idou) has not been translated because it has no exact English equivalent here, but adds interest and emphasis (BDAG 468 s.v. 1).

[8:34]  ³ tn Or “city.”

[8:37]  ⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[8:37]  ⁵ tc See the tc note on “Gerasenes” in v. 26 for the same geographical options for the textual variants.

[8:37]  ⁶ tn Grk “all the people of the surrounding region of the Gerasenes,” but according to L&N 1.80, “περίχωρος may include not only the surrounding region but also the point of reference, for example…‘the Gerasenes and the people living around them’ Lk 8:37.”

[8:37]  ⁷ tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:37]  ⁸ tn Or “to depart from them.”

[8:37]  ⁹ sn Again there is great fear at God’s activity, but there is a different reaction. Some people want nothing to do with God’s presence. Mark 5:16 hints that economic reasons motivated their request.

[8:37]  ¹⁰ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate that Jesus’ departure was the result of the Gerasenes’ response. A new sentence was started in the translation at this point for stylistic reasons.

[8:37]  ¹¹ tn Grk “returned,” but the effect is that he departed from the Gerasene region.

[8:38]  ¹² tn Grk “be,” that is, “remain.” In this context that would involve accompanying Jesus as he went on his way.

[8:38]  ¹³ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[13:31]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “At that very hour.”

[13:31]  ¹⁵ sn See the note on Pharisees in 5:17.

[13:31]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[13:31]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “Go away and leave from here,” which is redundant in English and has been shortened to “Get away from here.”

[13:31]  ¹⁸ sn Herod refers here to Herod Antipas. See the note on Herod Antipas in 3:1.

[16:39]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “and coming, they apologized.” The participle ἐλθόντες (elqonte") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[16:39]  ²⁰ tn Grk “and after.” Because of the length of the Greek sentence, the conjunction καί (kai) has not been translated here. Instead a new English sentence is begun.

[16:39]  ²¹ tn The verb ἐρώτων (erwtwn) has been translated as an iterative imperfect; the English adverb “repeatedly” brings out the iterative force in the translation.
