Luke 1:54

1:54 He has helped his servant Israel, remembering ¹  his mercy, ² 

Luke 1:69

1:69 For ³  he has raised up ⁴  a horn of salvation ⁵  for us in the house of his servant David, ⁶ 

Luke 8:54

8:54 But Jesus ⁷  gently took her by the hand and said, ⁸  “Child, get up.”

Luke 15:26

15:26 So ⁹  he called one of the slaves ¹⁰  and asked what was happening.

[1:54]  ¹ tn Or “because he remembered mercy,” understanding the infinitive as causal.

[1:54]  ² tn Or “his [God’s] loyal love.”

[1:69]  ³ tn Grk “and,” but specifying the reason for the praise in the psalm.

[1:69]  ⁴ sn The phrase raised up means for God to bring someone significant onto the scene of history.

[1:69]  ⁵ sn The horn of salvation is a figure that refers to the power of Messiah and his ability to protect, as the horn refers to what an animal uses to attack and defend (Ps 75:4-5, 10; 148:14; 2 Sam 22:3). Thus the meaning of the figure is “a powerful savior.”

[1:69]  ⁶ sn In the house of his servant David is a reference to Messiah’s Davidic descent. Zechariah is more interested in Jesus than his own son John at this point.

[8:54]  ⁵ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:54]  ⁶ tn Grk “and called, saying.” This is redundant in contemporary English and has been simplified in the translation to “and said.”

[15:26]  ⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the result of the older son hearing the noise of the celebration in progress.

[15:26]  ⁸ tn The Greek term here, παῖς (pais), describes a slave, possibly a household servant regarded with some affection (L&N 87.77).
