Luke 14:19

14:19 Another ¹  said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, ²  and I am going out ³  to examine them. Please excuse me.’

Luke 16:28

16:28 (for I have five brothers) to warn ⁴  them so that they don’t come ⁵  into this place of torment.’

[14:19]  ¹ tn Grk “And another.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[14:19]  ² sn Five yoke of oxen. This was a wealthy man, because the normal farmer had one or two yoke of oxen.

[14:19]  ³ tn The translation “going out” for πορεύομαι (poreuomai) is used because “going” in this context could be understood to mean “I am about to” rather than the correct nuance, “I am on my way to.”

[16:28]  ⁴ sn To warn them. The warning would consist of a call to act differently than their dead brother had, or else meet his current terrible fate.

[16:28]  ⁵ tn Grk “lest they also come.”
