Luke 11:38

11:38 The ¹  Pharisee was astonished when he saw that Jesus ²  did not first wash his hands ³  before the meal.

Luke 14:12

14:12 He ⁴  said also to the man ⁵  who had invited him, “When you host a dinner or a banquet, ⁶  don’t invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors so you can be invited by them in return and get repaid.

[11:38]  ¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[11:38]  ² tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[11:38]  ³ tn The words “his hands” are not in the Greek text, but have been supplied for clarity.

[14:12]  ⁴ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[14:12]  ⁵ sn That is, the leader of the Pharisees (v. 1).

[14:12]  ⁶ tn The meaning of the two terms for meals here, ἄριστον (ariston) and δεῖπνον (deipnon), essentially overlap (L&N 23.22). Translators usually try to find two terms for a meal to use as equivalents (e.g., lunch and dinner, dinner and supper, etc.). In this translation “dinner” and “banquet” have been used, since the expected presence of rich neighbors later in the verse suggests a rather more elaborate occasion than an ordinary meal.
