[17:7]  1 tn Grk “Who among you, having a slave… would say to him.”

[17:7]  2 tn See the note on the word “slave” in 7:2.

[17:7]  3 tn Grk “and recline at table,” as 1st century middle eastern meals were not eaten while sitting at a table, but while reclining on one’s side on the floor with the head closest to the low table and the feet farthest away. See BDAG 70 s.v. ἀναπίπτω 1.

[19:17]  4 tn Grk “he”; the referent (the nobleman of v. 12, now a king) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[19:17]  5 tn See Luke 16:10.

[19:17]  6 sn The faithful slave received expanded responsibility (authority over ten cities) as a result of his faithfulness; this in turn is an exhortation to faithfulness for the reader.
