Isaiah 66:11

Context

66:11 For 1  you will nurse from her satisfying breasts and be nourished; 2 

you will feed with joy from her milk-filled breasts. 3 

Isaiah 66:14

Context

66:14 When you see this, you will be happy, 4 

and you will be revived. 5 

The Lord will reveal his power to his servants

and his anger to his enemies. 6 

Luke 15:5-10

Context
15:5 Then 7  when he has found it, he places it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 15:6 Returning 8  home, he calls together 9  his 10  friends and neighbors, telling them, ‘Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep that was lost.’ 15:7 I tell you, in the same way there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner 11  who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people 12  who have no need to repent. 13 

15:8 “Or what woman, if she has ten silver coins 14  and loses 15  one of them, 16  does not light a lamp, sweep 17  the house, and search thoroughly until she finds it? 15:9 Then 18  when she has found it, she calls together her 19  friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice 20  with me, for I have found the coin 21  that I had lost.’ 15:10 In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels 22  over one sinner who repents.”

Luke 15:32

Context
15:32 It was appropriate 23  to celebrate and be glad, for your brother 24  was dead, and is alive; he was lost and is found.’” 25

[66:11]  1 tn Or “in order that”; ASV, NRSV “that.”

[66:11]  2 tn Heb “you will suck and be satisfied, from her comforting breast.”

[66:11]  3 tn Heb “you will slurp and refresh yourselves from her heavy breast.”

[66:14]  4 tn “and you will see and your heart will be happy.”

[66:14]  5 tn Heb “and your bones like grass will sprout.”

[66:14]  6 tn Heb “and the hand of the Lord will be made known to his servants, and anger to his enemies.”

[15:5]  7 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[15:6]  8 tn Grk “And coming into his…” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[15:6]  9 sn A touch of drama may be present, as the term calls together can mean a formal celebration (1 Kgs 1:9-10).

[15:6]  10 tn Grk “the”; in context the article is used as a possessive pronoun (ExSyn 215). It occurs before “neighbors” as well (“his friends and his neighbors”) but has not been translated the second time because of English style.

[15:7]  11 sn There will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents. The pursuit of the sinner is a priority in spite of the presence of others who are doing well (see also Luke 5:32; 19:10). The theme of repentance, a major Lukan theme, is again emphasized.

[15:7]  12 tn Here δικαίοις (dikaioi") is an adjective functioning substantivally and has been translated “righteous people.”

[15:7]  13 tn Or “who do not need to repent”; Grk “who do not have need of repentance.”

[15:8]  14 sn This silver coin is a drachma, equal to a denarius, that is, a day’s pay for the average laborer.

[15:8]  15 tn Grk “What woman who has ten silver coins, if she loses.” The initial participle ἔχουσα (ecousa) has been translated as a finite verb parallel to ἀπολέσῃ (apolesh) in the conditional clause to improve the English style.

[15:8]  16 tn Grk “one coin.”

[15:8]  17 tn Grk “and sweep,” 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.

[15:9]  18 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[15:9]  19 tn Grk “the”; in context the article is used as a possessive pronoun (ExSyn 215).

[15:9]  20 sn Rejoice. Besides the theme of pursuing the lost, the other theme of the parable is the joy of finding them.

[15:9]  21 tn Grk “drachma.”

[15:10]  22 sn The whole of heaven is said to rejoice. Joy in the presence of God’s angels is a way of referring to God’s joy as well without having to name him explicitly. Contemporary Judaism tended to refer to God indirectly where possible out of reverence or respect for the divine name.

[15:32]  23 tn Or “necessary.”

[15:32]  24 sn By referring to him as your brother, the father reminded the older brother that the younger brother was part of the family.

[15:32]  25 sn The theme he was lost and is found is repeated from v. 24. The conclusion is open-ended. The reader is left to ponder with the older son (who pictures the scribes and Pharisees) what the response will be. The parable does not reveal the ultimate response of the older brother. Jesus argued that sinners should be pursued and received back warmly when they returned.
