Luke 14:13

14:13 But when you host an elaborate meal, ¹  invite the poor, the crippled, ²  the lame, and ³  the blind. ⁴ 

Luke 16:20

16:20 But at his gate lay ⁵  a poor man named Lazarus ⁶  whose body was covered with sores, ⁷ 

[14:13]  ¹ tn This term, δοχή (doch), is a third term for a meal (see v. 12) that could also be translated “banquet, feast.”

[14:13]  ² sn Normally the term means crippled as a result of being maimed or mutilated (L&N 23.177).

[14:13]  ³ tn Here “and” has been supplied between the last two elements in the series in keeping with English style.

[14:13]  ⁴ sn This list of needy is like Luke 7:22. See Deut 14:28-29; 16:11-14; 26:11-13.

[16:20]  ⁵ tn The passive verb ἐβέβλητο (ebeblhto) does not indicate how Lazarus got there. Cf. BDAG 163 s.v. βάλλω 1.b, “he lay before the door”; Josephus, Ant. 9.10.2 (9.209).

[16:20]  ⁶ sn This is the one time in all the gospels that a figure in a parable is mentioned by name. It will become important later in the account.

[16:20]  ⁷ tn Or “was covered with ulcers.” The words “whose body” are implied in the context (L&N 23.180).
