Luke 17:12

17:12 As ¹  he was entering ²  a village, ten men with leprosy ³  met him. They ⁴  stood at a distance,

Luke 17:17

17:17 Then ⁵  Jesus said, ⁶  “Were ⁷  not ten cleansed? Where are the other ⁸  nine?

Luke 19:16

19:16 So ⁹  the first one came before him and said, ‘Sir, ¹⁰  your mina ¹¹  has made ten minas more.’

[17:12]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[17:12]  ² tn The participle εἰσερχομένου (eisercomenou) is taken temporally.

[17:12]  ³ sn The ten men with leprosy would have been unable to approach Jesus (Lev 13:45-46; Num 5:2-3). The ancient term for leprosy covered a wider array of conditions than what is called leprosy today. A leper was totally ostracized from society until he was declared cured (Lev 13:45-46).

[17:12]  ⁴ tn Grk “leprosy, who.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, the relative pronoun was replaced with a personal pronoun and a new sentence started at this point in the translation.

[17:17]  ⁵ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[17:17]  ⁶ tn Grk “Jesus answering said”; this is redundant in contemporary English and has been simplified in the translation.

[17:17]  ⁷ tn The Greek construction used here (οὐχί, ouci) expects a positive reply.

[17:17]  ⁸ tn The word “other” is implied in the context.

[19:16]  ⁹ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the royal summons.

[19:16]  ¹⁰ tn Or “Lord”; or “Master.” (and so throughout this paragraph).

[19:16]  ¹¹ tn See the note on the word “minas” in v. 13.
