Luke 1:58

1:58 Her ¹  neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown ²  great mercy to her, and they rejoiced ³  with her.

Luke 5:30-31

5:30 But ⁴  the Pharisees ⁵  and their experts in the law ⁶  complained ⁷  to his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?” ⁸  5:31 Jesus ⁹  answered them, “Those who are well don’t need a physician, but those who are sick do. ¹⁰ 

Luke 6:7

6:7 The experts in the law ¹¹  and the Pharisees ¹²  watched ¹³  Jesus ¹⁴  closely to see if ¹⁵  he would heal on the Sabbath, ¹⁶  so that they could find a reason to accuse him.

Luke 6:26

6:26 “Woe to you ¹⁷  when all people ¹⁸  speak well of you, for their ancestors ¹⁹  did the same things to the false prophets.

Luke 22:25

22:25 So ²⁰  Jesus ²¹  said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in authority over them are called ‘benefactors.’ ²² 

[1:58]  ¹ tn Grk “And her.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[1:58]  ² tn Grk “had magnified his mercy with her.”

[1:58]  ³ tn The verb συνέχαιρον (sunecairon) is an imperfect and could be translated as an ingressive force, “they began to rejoice.”

[5:30]  ⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the implied contrast present in this context.

[5:30]  ⁵ sn See the note on Pharisees in 5:17.

[5:30]  ⁶ tn Or “and their scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 5:21.

[5:30]  ⁷ tn Or “grumbled”; a term often used in the OT for inappropriate grumbling: Exod 15:24; 16:7-8; Num 14:2, 26-35; 16:11.

[5:30]  ⁸ sn The issue here is inappropriate associations (eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners) and the accusation comes not against Jesus, but his disciples.

[5:31]  ⁷ tn Grk “And Jesus.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[5:31]  ⁸ sn Jesus’ point is that he associates with those who are sick because they have the need and will respond to the offer of help. A person who is well (or who thinks mistakenly that he is) will not seek treatment.

[6:7]  ¹⁰ tn Or “The scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 5:21.

[6:7]  ¹¹ sn See the note on Pharisees in 5:17.

[6:7]  ¹² sn The term translated watched…closely is emotive, since it carries negative connotations. It means they were watching him out of the corner of their eye or spying on him.

[6:7]  ¹³ tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[6:7]  ¹⁴ tn This is a first class condition in the Greek text; Jesus’ opponents anticipated he would do this.

[6:7]  ¹⁵ sn The background for this is the view that only if life was endangered should one attempt to heal on the Sabbath (see the Mishnah, m. Shabbat 6.3; 12.1; 18.3; 19.2; m. Yoma 8.6).

[6:26]  ¹³ tc The wording “to you” (ὑμῖν, Jumin) is lacking throughout the ms tradition except for a few witnesses (D W* Δ 1424 pc co). The Western witnesses tend to add freely to the text. Supported by the vast majority of witnesses and the likelihood that “to you” is a clarifying addition, the shorter reading should be considered original; nevertheless, “to you” is included in the translation because of English requirements.

[6:26]  ¹⁴ tn This is a generic use of ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo"), referring to both males and females.

[6:26]  ¹⁵ tn Or “forefathers”; Grk “fathers.”

[22:25]  ¹⁶ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the dispute among the apostles.

[22:25]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:25]  ¹⁸ sn The title ‘benefactor,’ highlighting grace and meaning something like “helper of the people,” was even given to tyrants (2 Macc 4:2; 3 Macc 3:19; Josephus, J. W. 3.9.8 [3.459]).
