Luke 18:41

18:41 “What do you want me to do for you?” He replied, ¹  “Lord, let me see again.” ² 

Luke 22:9

22:9 They ³  said to him, “Where do you want us to prepare ⁴  it?”

Luke 9:54

9:54 Now when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to call fire to come down from heaven and consume ⁵  them?” ⁶ 

[18:41]  ¹ tn Grk “said.”

[18:41]  ² tn Grk “Lord, that I may see [again].” The phrase can be rendered as an imperative of request, “Please, give me sight.” Since the man is not noted as having been blind from birth (as the man in John 9 was) it is likely the request is to receive back the sight he once had.

[22:9]  ³ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[22:9]  ⁴ tn In the Greek text this a deliberative subjunctive.

[9:54]  ⁵ tn Or “destroy.”

[9:54]  ⁶ tc Most mss, especially the later ones (A C D W Θ Ψ Ë^1,13 33 Ï it), read here “as also Elijah did,” making the allusion to 2 Kgs 1:10, 12, 14 more explicit. The shorter reading has better and earlier support (Ì^45,75 א B L Ξ 579 700* 1241 pc lat sa). It is difficult to explain how the shorter reading could have arisen from the longer, especially since it is well represented early on. However, the longer reading looks to have been a marginal note originally, incorporated into the text of Luke by early scribes.
