Luke 2:17

2:17 When ¹  they saw him, ²  they related what they had been told ³  about this child,

Luke 8:44

8:44 She ⁴  came up behind Jesus ⁵  and touched the edge ⁶  of his cloak, ⁷  and at once the bleeding ⁸  stopped.

Luke 22:69

22:69 But from now on ⁹  the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand ¹⁰  of the power ¹¹  of God.”

[2:17]  ¹ tn Grk “And when.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[2:17]  ² tn The word “him” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

[2:17]  ³ tn Grk “the word which had been spoken to them.”

[8:44]  ⁴ tn Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[8:44]  ⁵ tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:44]  ⁶ sn The edge of his cloak refers to the kraspedon, the blue tassel on the garment that symbolized a Jewish man’s obedience to the law (cf. Num 15:37-41). The woman thus touched the very part of Jesus’ clothing that indicated his ritual purity.

[8:44]  ⁷ tn Grk “garment,” but here ἱμάτιον (Jimation) denotes the outer garment in particular.

[8:44]  ⁸ tn Grk “the flow of her blood.”

[22:69]  ⁷ sn From now on. Jesus’ authority was taken up from this moment on. Ironically he is now the ultimate judge, who is himself being judged.

[22:69]  ⁸ sn Seated at the right hand is an allusion to Ps 110:1 (“Sit at my right hand…”) and is a claim that Jesus shares authority with God in heaven. Those present may have thought they were his judges, but, in fact, the reverse was true.

[22:69]  ⁹ sn The expression the right hand of the power of God is a circumlocution for referring to God. Such indirect references to God were common in 1st century Judaism out of reverence for the divine name.
