[1:8]  ¹ tn Grk “Now it happened that.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[1:8]  ² tn Grk “he”; the referent (Zechariah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[1:8]  ³ tn Grk “serving as priest in the order of his division before God.”

[3:21]  ⁴ tn Grk “Now it happened that when.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[3:21]  ⁵ tn Grk “and while Jesus was being baptized and praying.” The first of these participles has been translated as a finite verb to be more consistent with English style.

[3:21]  ⁶ tn Or “the sky”; the Greek word οὐρανός (ouranos) may be translated “sky” or “heaven,” depending on the context. In this context, although the word is singular, the English plural “heavens” connotes the Greek better than the singular “heaven” would, for the singular does not normally refer to the sky.

[4:21]  ⁷ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[4:21]  ⁸ sn See the note on today in 2:11.

[4:21]  ⁹ tn Grk “in your hearing.”

[4:31]  ¹¹ sn Capernaum was a town on the northwest shore of the Sea of Galilee, 680 ft (204 m) below sea level. It was a major trade and economic center in the North Galilean region, and it became the hub of operations for Jesus’ Galilean ministry.

[4:31]  ¹² tn Or “city.”

[4:31]  ¹³ tn Grk “them”; the referent (the people) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[6:6]  ¹⁵ sn See the note on synagogues in 4:15.

[6:6]  ¹⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic. In addition, because the Greek sentence is rather long and complex, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[6:6]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “a man was there and his right hand was withered.”

[6:12]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “Now it happened that in.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[6:12]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[6:12]  ²⁰ tn This is an objective genitive, so prayer “to God.”

[7:17]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “And this.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[7:17]  ²⁰ sn See Luke 4:14 for a similar report.

[7:17]  ²¹ tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[7:17]  ²² tn Grk “went out.”

[7:17]  ²³ tn Grk “through the whole of.”

[8:4]  ²² tn Grk “to him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:4]  ²³ tn This phrase renders a distributive use of κατά (kata) with πόλις (polis), literally “according to [each] town.”

[8:4]  ²⁴ tn The words “to them” do not appear in the Greek text but are supplied in the translation for clarity.

[9:1]  ²⁵ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[9:1]  ²⁶ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[9:1]  ²⁷ tn An aorist participle preceding an aorist main verb may indicate either contemporaneous (simultaneous) action (“When he called… he gave”) or antecedent (prior) action (“After he called… he gave”). The participle συγκαλεσάμενος (sunkalesameno") has been translated here as indicating antecedent action.

[9:1]  ²⁸ tc Some mss add ἀποστόλους (apostolou", “apostles”; א C* L Θ Ψ 070 0291 ˹³ 33 579 892 1241 1424 2542 pc lat) or μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ (maqhta" autou, “his disciples”; C³ al it) here, but such clarifying notes are clearly secondary.

[9:1]  ²⁹ sn Note how Luke distinguishes between exorcisms (authority over all demons) and diseases here.

[9:61]  ²⁸ tn Grk “And another also said.”

[9:61]  ²⁹ tn Grk “to those in my house.”

[12:55]  ³¹ sn The south wind comes from the desert, and thus brings scorching heat.

[17:1]  ³⁴ tn Grk “He”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity. Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[17:1]  ³⁵ sn See Luke 6:24-26.

[18:1]  ³⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[18:1]  ³⁸ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[18:1]  ³⁹ tn Or “should pray at all times” (L&N 67.88).

[18:1]  ⁴⁰ sn This is one of the few parables that comes with an explanation at the start: …they should always pray and not lose heart. It is part of Luke’s goal in encouraging Theophilus (1:4).

[19:9]  ⁴⁰ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative

[19:9]  ⁴¹ sn This is one of the few uses of the specific term salvation in Luke (1:69, 71, 77), though the concept runs throughout the Gospel.

[19:9]  ⁴² sn The household is not a reference to the building, but to the people who lived within it (L&N 10.8).

[19:9]  ⁴³ sn Zacchaeus was personally affirmed by Jesus as a descendant (son) of Abraham and a member of God’s family.

[21:35]  ⁴³ tn There is debate in the textual tradition about the position of γάρ (gar) and whether v. 35 looks back to v. 34 or is independent. The textual evidence does slightly favor placing γάρ after the verb and thus linking it back to v. 34. The other reading looks like Isa 24:17. However, the construction is harsh and the translation prefers for stylistic reasons to start a new English sentence here.

[21:35]  ⁴⁴ tn Or “come upon.”

[21:35]  ⁴⁵ sn This judgment involves everyone: all who live on the face of the whole earth. No one will escape this evaluation.

[23:43]  ⁴⁷ tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”

[23:43]  ⁴⁸ sn Jesus gives more than the criminal asked for, because the blessing will come today, not in the future. He will be among the righteous. See the note on today in 2:11.

[23:43]  ⁴⁹ sn In the NT, paradise is mentioned three times. Here it refers to the abode of the righteous dead. In Rev 2:7 it refers to the restoration of Edenic paradise predicted in Isa 51:3 and Ezek 36:35. In 2 Cor 12:4 it probably refers to the “third heaven” (2 Cor 12:2) as the place where God dwells.
