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 14:21

14:21 So ⁶  the slave came back and reported this to his master. Then the master of the household was furious ⁷  and said to his slave, ‘Go out quickly ⁸  to the streets and alleys of the city, ⁹  and bring in the poor, ¹⁰  the crippled, ¹¹  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.

[14:21]  ⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the result of the preceding responses.

[14:21]  ⁷ 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]  ⁸ 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]  ⁹ tn Or “town.”

[14:21]  ¹⁰ 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]  ¹¹ 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.
