Luke 16:10

16:10 “The one who is faithful in a very little ¹  is also faithful in much, and the one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.

Luke 18:39

18:39 And those who were in front ²  scolded ³  him to get him to be quiet, but he shouted ⁴  even more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

[16:10]  ¹ sn The point of the statement faithful in a very little is that character is shown in how little things are treated.

[18:39]  ² sn That is, those who were at the front of the procession.

[18:39]  ³ tn Or “rebuked.” The crowd’s view was that surely Jesus would not be bothered with someone as unimportant as a blind beggar.

[18:39]  ⁴ sn Public opinion would not sway the blind man from getting Jesus’ attention. The term shouted is strong as it can be used of animal cries.
