Luke 1:16

1:16 He ¹  will turn ²  many of the people ³  of Israel to the Lord their God.

Luke 14:16

14:16 But Jesus ⁴  said to him, “A man once gave a great banquet ⁵  and invited ⁶  many guests. ⁷ 

Luke 7:21

7:21 At that very time ⁸  Jesus ⁹  cured many people of diseases, sicknesses, ¹⁰  and evil spirits, and granted ¹¹  sight to many who were blind.

[1:16]  ¹ tn Grk “And he.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[1:16]  ² sn The word translated will turn is a good summary term for repentance and denotes John’s call to a change of direction (Luke 3:1-14).

[1:16]  ³ tn Grk “sons”; but clearly this is a generic reference to people of both genders.

[14:16]  ⁴ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[14:16]  ⁵ tn Or “dinner.”

[14:16]  ⁶ sn Presumably those invited would have sent a reply with the invitation stating their desire to attend, much like a modern R.S.V.P. Then they waited for the servant to announce the beginning of the celebration (D. L. Bock, Luke [BECNT], 2:1272).

[14:16]  ⁷ tn The word “guests” is not in the Greek text but is implied.

[7:21]  ⁷ tn Grk “In that hour.”

[7:21]  ⁸ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[7:21]  ⁹ tn Grk “and sicknesses,” 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.

[7:21]  ¹⁰ tn Or “and bestowed (sight) on.”
