[1:14]  ¹ tn Grk “sent for service for the sake of those.”

[10:36]  ² tn Grk “the promise,” referring to the thing God promised, not to the pledge itself.

[11:9]  ³ tn Or “settled as a resident alien.”

[11:9]  ⁴ tn Or “heirs with him.”

[11:17]  ⁵ tn Here “received the promises” refers to the pledges themselves, not to the things God promised.

[11:17]  ⁶ tn Grk “he was offering up.” The tense of this verb indicates the attempt or readiness to sacrifice Isaac without the actual completion of the deed.

[11:33]  ⁷ tn This probably refers to the righteous rule of David and others. But it could be more general and mean “did what was righteous.”

[11:33]  ⁸ tn Grk “obtained promises,” referring to the things God promised, not to the pledges themselves.

[22:32]  ⁹ sn A quotation from Exod 3:6.

[22:32]  ¹⁰ sn He is not God of the dead but of the living. Jesus’ point was that if God could identify himself as God of the three old patriarchs, then they must still be alive when God spoke to Moses; and so they must be raised.

[16:22]  ¹¹ tn Grk “Now it happened that the.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[16:22]  ¹² tn Grk “to Abraham’s bosom.” The phrase “carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom” describes being gathered to the fathers and is a way to refer to heaven (Gen 15:15; 47:30; Deut 31:16).

[16:22]  ¹³ tn Grk “And the.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[16:22]  ¹⁴ sn The shorter description suggests a different fate, which is confirmed in the following verses.

[20:37]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “But that the dead are raised even Moses revealed.”

[20:37]  ¹⁶ sn See Exod 3:6. Jesus used a common form of rabbinic citation here to refer to the passage in question.

[20:37]  ¹⁷ sn A quotation from Exod 3:6.

[20:38]  ¹⁸ sn He is not God of the dead but of the living. Jesus’ point was that if God could identify himself as God of the three old patriarchs, then they must still be alive when God spoke to Moses; and so they must be raised.

[20:38]  ¹⁹ tn On this syntax, see BDF §192. The point is that all live “to” God or “before” God.

[20:1]  ²⁰ tn Grk “Now it happened that one.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated. Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.

[20:1]  ²¹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[20:1]  ²² tn Grk “the temple.”

[20:1]  ²³ tn Or “preaching.”

[20:1]  ²⁴ tn Or “and the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 5:21.

[20:1]  ²⁵ sn The chief priests and the experts in the law with the elders came up. The description is similar to Luke 19:47. The leaders are really watching Jesus at this point.

[2:25]  ²⁶ tn Grk “And behold.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic. The Greek word ἰδού (idou) at the beginning of this statement has not been translated because it has no exact English equivalent here, but adds interest and emphasis (BDAG 468 s.v. 1).

[2:25]  ²⁸ tn Grk “This man was righteous.” The Greek text begins a new sentence here, but this was changed to a relative clause in the translation to avoid redundancy.

[2:25]  ²⁹ tn Or “deliverance,” “consolation.”

[2:25]  ³⁰ sn Once again, by mentioning the Holy Spirit, Luke stresses the prophetic enablement of a speaker. The Spirit has fallen on both men (Zechariah, 1:67) and women (Elizabeth, 1:41) in Luke 1–2 as they share the will of the Lord.

[14:13]  ³¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.

[14:13]  ³² tn Or “from their trouble” (L&N 22.7).

[14:13]  ³³ tn Grk “their deeds will follow with them.”
