Luke 11:11

11:11 What father among you, if your ¹  son asks for ²  a fish, will give him a snake ³  instead of a fish?

Luke 17:12

17:12 As ⁴  he was entering ⁵  a village, ten men with leprosy ⁶  met him. They ⁷  stood at a distance,

Luke 23:19

23:19 (This ⁸  was a man who had been thrown into prison for an insurrection ⁹  started in the city, and for murder.) ¹⁰ 

[11:11]  ¹ tn Grk “the”; in context the article is used as a possessive pronoun (ExSyn 215).

[11:11]  ² tc Most mss (א A C D L W Θ Ψ Ë^1,13 33 Ï lat sy^c,p,h bo) have “bread, does not give him a stone instead, or” before “a fish”; the longer reading, however, looks like a harmonization to Matt 7:9. The shorter reading is thus preferred, attested by Ì^45,75 B 1241 pc sy^s sa.

[11:11]  ³ sn The snake probably refers to a water snake.

[17:12]  ⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[17:12]  ⁵ tn The participle εἰσερχομένου (eisercomenou) is taken temporally.

[17:12]  ⁶ sn The ten men with leprosy would have been unable to approach Jesus (Lev 13:45-46; Num 5:2-3). The ancient term for leprosy covered a wider array of conditions than what is called leprosy today. A leper was totally ostracized from society until he was declared cured (Lev 13:45-46).

[17:12]  ⁷ tn Grk “leprosy, who.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, the relative pronoun was replaced with a personal pronoun and a new sentence started at this point in the translation.

[23:19]  ⁷ tn Grk “who” (a continuation of the previous sentence).

[23:19]  ⁸ sn Ironically, what Jesus was alleged to have done, started an insurrection, this man really did.

[23:19]  ⁹ sn This is a parenthetical note by the author.
