Luke 10:35

10:35 The ¹  next day he took out two silver coins ²  and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, ‘Take care of him, and whatever else you spend, I will repay you when I come back this way.’ ³ 

Luke 19:15

19:15 When ⁴  he returned after receiving the kingdom, he summoned ⁵  these slaves to whom he had given the money. He wanted ⁶  to know how much they had earned ⁷  by trading.

[10:35]  ¹ tn Grk “And the.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[10:35]  ² tn Grk “two denarii.”

[10:35]  ³ tn Grk “when I come back”; the words “this way” are part of an English idiom used to translate the phrase.

[19:15]  ⁴ tn Grk “And 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.

[19:15]  ⁵ tn Grk “he said for these slaves to be called to him.” The passive construction has been translated as an active one and simplified to “he summoned.”

[19:15]  ⁶ tn Grk “in order that he might know” (a continuation of the preceding sentence). Due to the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation by supplying the pronoun “he” as subject and the verb “wanted” to convey the idea of purpose.

[19:15]  ⁷ sn The Greek verb earned refers to profit from engaging in commerce and trade (L&N 57.195). This is an examination of stewardship.
