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 7:9

7:9 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed ⁴  at him. He turned and said to the crowd that followed him, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith!” ⁵ 

[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.

[7:9]  ⁴ tn Or “pleased with him and amazed.” The expanded translation brings out both Jesus’ sense of wonder at the deep insight of the soldier and the pleasure he had that he could present the man as an example of faith.

[7:9]  ⁵ sn There are two elements to the faith that Jesus commended: The man’s humility and his sense of Jesus’ authority which recognized that only Jesus’ word, not his physical presence, were required.
