Luke 19:20

19:20 Then another ¹  slave ²  came and said, ‘Sir, here is ³  your mina that I put away for safekeeping ⁴  in a piece of cloth. ⁵ 

Luke 4:40

4:40 As the sun was setting, all those who had any relatives ⁶  sick with various diseases brought them to Jesus. ⁷  He placed ⁸  his hands on every one of them and healed them.

[19:20]  ¹ sn Though ten were given minas, the story stops to focus on the one who did nothing with the opportunity given to him. Here is the parable’s warning about the one who does not trust the master. This figure is called “another,” marking him out as different than the first two.

[19:20]  ² tn The word “slave” is not in the Greek text, but has been supplied for stylistic reasons.

[19:20]  ³ tn Grk “behold.”

[19:20]  ⁴ tn Or “that I stored away.” L&N 85.53 defines ἀπόκειμαι (apokeimai) here as “to put something away for safekeeping – ‘to store, to put away in a safe place.’”

[19:20]  ⁵ tn The piece of cloth, called a σουδάριον (soudarion), could have been a towel, napkin, handkerchief, or face cloth (L&N 6.159).

[4:40]  ⁶ tn Grk “everyone, as many as had those being sick.” The use of εἶχον (eicon, “had”) suggests that the subject of the accusative participle ἀσθενοῦντας (asqenountas, “those being sick”) is not simply acquaintances, but rather relatives, perhaps immediate family, and certainly close friends.

[4:40]  ⁷ tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[4:40]  ⁸ tn Or “laid.” The participle ἐπιτεθείς (epiteqei") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.
