12:59 I tell you, you will never get out of there until you have paid the very last cent!” ¹ 

Luke 7:42

7:42 When they could not pay, he canceled ²  the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more?”

Luke 20:25

20:25 So ³  he said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” ⁴ 

Luke 4:20

4:20 Then ⁵  he rolled up ⁶  the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fixed on ⁷  him.

Luke 9:42

9:42 As ⁸  the boy ⁹  was approaching, the demon threw him to the ground ¹⁰  and shook him with convulsions. ¹¹  But Jesus rebuked ¹²  the unclean ¹³  spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

Luke 10:35

19:8 But Zacchaeus stopped and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, half of my possessions I now give ²¹  to the poor, and if ²²  I have cheated anyone of anything, I am paying back four times as much!”

[12:59]  ¹ tn Here the English word “cent” is used as opposed to the parallel in Matt 5:26 where “penny” appears, since the Greek word there is different and refers to a different but similar coin.

[7:42]  ² tn The verb ἐχαρίσατο (ecarisato) could be translated as “forgave.” Of course this pictures the forgiveness of God’s grace, which is not earned but bestowed with faith (see v. 49).

[20:25]  ³ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate that Jesus’ pronouncement results from the opponents’ answer to his question.

[20:25]  ⁴ sn Jesus’ answer to give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and to God the things that are God’s was a both/and, not the questioners’ either/or. So he slipped out of their trap.

[4:20]  ⁴ tn Grk “And closing.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the transition to a new topic.

[4:20]  ⁵ tn Grk “closing,” but a scroll of this period would have to be rolled up. The participle πτύξας (ptuxas) has been translated as a finite verb due to the requirements of contemporary English style.

[4:20]  ⁶ tn Or “gazing at,” “staring at.”

[9:42]  ⁵ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[9:42]  ⁶ tn Grk “he”; the referent (the boy) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[9:42]  ⁷ sn At this point the boy was thrown down in another convulsion by the demon. See L&N 23.168.

[9:42]  ⁸ tn See L&N 23.167-68, where the second verb συσπαράσσω (susparassw) is taken to mean the violent shaking associated with the convulsions, thus the translation here “and shook him with convulsions.”

[9:42]  ⁹ tn Or “commanded” (often with the implication of a threat, L&N 33.331).

[9:42]  ¹⁰ sn This is a reference to an evil spirit. See Luke 4:33.

[10:35]  ⁶ tn Grk “And the.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[10:35]  ⁷ tn Grk “two denarii.”

[10:35]  ⁸ tn Grk “when I come back”; the words “this way” are part of an English idiom used to translate the phrase.

[16:2]  ⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the result of the reports the man received about his manager.

[16:2]  ⁸ tn Grk “him”; the referent (the manager) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[16:2]  ⁹ sn Although phrased as a question, the charges were believed by the owner, as his dismissal of the manager implies.

[16:2]  ¹⁰ tn Or “stewardship”; the Greek word οἰκονομία (oikonomia) is cognate with the noun for the manager (οἰκονόμος, oikonomo").

[19:8]  ⁸ sn Zacchaeus was a penitent man who resolved on the spot to act differently in the face of Jesus’ acceptance of him. In resolving to give half his possessions to the poor, Zacchaeus was not defending himself against the crowd’s charges and claiming to be righteous. Rather as a result of this meeting with Jesus, he was a changed individual. So Jesus could speak of salvation coming that day (v. 9) and of the lost being saved (v. 10).

[19:8]  ⁹ tn This is a first class condition in the Greek text. It virtually confesses fraud.
