Luke 2:10

2:10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid! Listen carefully, ¹  for I proclaim to you good news ²  that brings great joy to all the people:

Luke 9:34

9:34 As ³  he was saying this, a cloud ⁴  came ⁵  and overshadowed ⁶  them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.

Luke 12:4

12:4 “I ⁷  tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, ⁸  and after that have nothing more they can do.

Luke 18:4

18:4 For ⁹  a while he refused, but later on ¹⁰  he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor have regard for people, ¹¹ 

Luke 19:21

19:21 For I was afraid of you, because you are a severe ¹²  man. You withdraw ¹³  what you did not deposit ¹⁴  and reap what you did not sow.’

Luke 23:40

23:40 But the other rebuked him, saying, ¹⁵  “Don’t ¹⁶  you fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? ¹⁷ 

[2:10]  ¹ tn Grk “behold.”

[2:10]  ² tn Grk “I evangelize to you great joy.”

[9:34]  ³ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[9:34]  ⁴ sn This cloud is the cloud of God’s presence and the voice is his as well.

[9:34]  ⁵ tn Or “appeared.”

[9:34]  ⁶ tn Or “surrounded.”

[12:4]  ⁵ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[12:4]  ⁶ sn Judaism had a similar exhortation in 4 Macc 13:14-15.

[18:4]  ⁷ tn Grk “And for.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[18:4]  ⁸ tn Grk “after these things.”

[18:4]  ⁹ tn Grk “man,” but the singular ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") is used as a generic in comparison to God.

[19:21]  ⁹ tn Or “exacting,” “harsh,” “hard.”

[19:21]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “man, taking out.” The Greek word can refer to withdrawing money from a bank (L&N 57.218), and in this context of financial accountability that is the most probable meaning. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation by supplying the pronoun “you” as subject and translating the participle αἴρεις (airei") as a finite verb.

[19:21]  ¹¹ tn The Greek verb τίθημι (tiqhmi) can be used of depositing money with a banker to earn interest (L&N 57.217). In effect the slave charges that the master takes what he has not earned.

[23:40]  ¹¹ tn Grk “But answering, the other rebuking him, said.” This is somewhat redundant and has been simplified in the translation.

[23:40]  ¹² tn The particle used here (οὐδέ, oude), which expects a positive reply, makes this a rebuke – “You should fear God and not speak!”

[23:40]  ¹³ tn The words “of condemnation” are not in the Greek text, but are implied.
