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 7:22

7:22 So ⁵  he answered them, ⁶  “Go tell ⁷  John what you have seen and heard: ⁸  The blind see, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the ⁹  deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have good news proclaimed to them.

Luke 14:21

14:21 So ¹⁰  the slave came back and reported this to his master. Then the master of the household was furious ¹¹  and said to his slave, ‘Go out quickly ¹²  to the streets and alleys of the city, ¹³  and bring in the poor, ¹⁴  the crippled, ¹⁵  the blind, and the lame.’

[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.

[7:22]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the relationship to Jesus’ miraculous cures in the preceding sentence.

[7:22]  ⁶ tn Grk “answering, he said to them.” This is redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation to “he answered them.”

[7:22]  ⁷ sn The same verb has been translated “inform” in 7:18.

[7:22]  ⁸ sn What you have seen and heard. The following activities all paraphrase various OT descriptions of the time of promised salvation: Isa 35:5-6; 26:19; 29:18-19; 61:1. Jesus is answering not by acknowledging a title, but by pointing to the nature of his works, thus indicating the nature of the time.

[7:22]  ⁹ tn Grk “and the,” but καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

[14:21]  ⁹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the result of the preceding responses.

[14:21]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “being furious, said.” The participle ὀργισθείς (orgisqei") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[14:21]  ¹¹ sn It was necessary to go out quickly because the banquet was already prepared. All the food would spoil if not eaten immediately.

[14:21]  ¹² tn Or “town.”

[14:21]  ¹³ sn The poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame. Note how the list matches v. 13, illustrating that point. Note also how the party goes on; it is not postponed until a later date. Instead new guests are invited.

[14:21]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “and the crippled.” Normally crippled as a result of being maimed or mutilated (L&N 23.177). Καί (kai) has not been translated here and before the following category (Grk “and the blind and the lame”) since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
