Luke 1:20

1:20 And now, ¹  because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time, ²  you will be silent, unable to speak, ³  until the day these things take place.”

Luke 6:34

6:34 And if you lend to those from whom you hope to be repaid, ⁴  what credit is that to you? Even sinners ⁵  lend to sinners, so that they may be repaid in full. ⁶ 

Luke 11:42

11:42 “But woe to you Pharisees! ⁷  You give a tenth ⁸  of your mint, ⁹  rue, ¹⁰  and every herb, yet you neglect justice ¹¹  and love for God! But you should have done these things without neglecting the others. ¹² 

Luke 24:19

24:19 He ¹³  said to them, “What things?” “The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene,” they replied, “a man ¹⁴  who, with his powerful deeds and words, proved to be a prophet ¹⁵  before God and all the people;

[1:20]  ¹ tn Grk “behold.”

[1:20]  ² sn The predicted fulfillment in the expression my words, which will be fulfilled in their time takes place in Luke 1:63-66.

[1:20]  ³ sn Silent, unable to speak. Actually Zechariah was deaf and mute as 1:61-63 indicates, since others had to use gestures to communicate with him.

[6:34]  ⁴ tn Grk “to receive”; but in context the repayment of the amount lent is implied. Jesus was noting that utilitarian motives are the way of the world.

[6:34]  ⁵ sn See the note on the word sinners in v. 32.

[6:34]  ⁶ tn Grk “to receive as much again.”

[11:42]  ⁷ tn Grk “Woe to you…because you…” The causal particle ὅτι (Joti) has not been translated here for rhetorical effect (and so to the end of this chapter).

[11:42]  ⁸ tn Or “you tithe mint.”

[11:42]  ⁹ sn These small herbs were tithed with great care (Mishnah, m. Demai 2:1).

[11:42]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “and rue.” 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.

[11:42]  ¹¹ sn Justice was a major theme of OT ethics (Mic 6:8; Zech 7:8-10).

[11:42]  ¹² tn Grk “those”; but this has been translated as “the others” to clarify which are meant.

[24:19]  ¹⁰ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[24:19]  ¹¹ tn This translates the Greek term ἀνήρ (anhr).

[24:19]  ¹² sn The role of Jesus as prophet is a function Luke frequently mentions: 4:25-27; 9:35; 13:31-35.
