Luke 10:10

10:10 But whenever ¹  you enter a town ²  and the people ³  do not welcome ⁴  you, go into its streets ⁵  and say,

Luke 13:26

13:26 Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’ ⁶ 

Luke 14:21

14:21 So ⁷  the slave came back and reported this to his master. Then the master of the household was furious ⁸  and said to his slave, ‘Go out quickly ⁹  to the streets and alleys of the city, ¹⁰  and bring in the poor, ¹¹  the crippled, ¹²  the blind, and the lame.’

[10:10]  ¹ tn Grk “whatever town you enter,” but this is more often expressed in English as “whenever you enter a town.”

[10:10]  ² tn Or “city.”

[10:10]  ³ tn Grk “and they”; the referent (the people who live in the town) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[10:10]  ⁴ sn More discussion takes place concerning rejection (the people do not welcome you), as these verses lead into the condemnation of certain towns for their rejection of God’s kingdom.

[10:10]  ⁵ tn The term πλατεῖα (plateia) refers to the “broad street,” so this refers to the main roads of the town.

[13:26]  ⁶ sn This term refers to wide streets, and thus suggests the major streets of a city.

[14:21]  ¹¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the result of the preceding responses.

[14:21]  ¹² tn Grk “being furious, said.” The participle ὀργισθείς (orgisqei") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[14:21]  ¹³ sn It was necessary to go out quickly because the banquet was already prepared. All the food would spoil if not eaten immediately.

[14:21]  ¹⁴ tn Or “town.”

[14:21]  ¹⁵ sn The poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame. Note how the list matches v. 13, illustrating that point. Note also how the party goes on; it is not postponed until a later date. Instead new guests are invited.

[14:21]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “and the crippled.” Normally crippled as a result of being maimed or mutilated (L&N 23.177). Καί (kai) has not been translated here and before the following category (Grk “and the blind and the lame”) since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
