Luke 2:27

2:27 So ¹  Simeon, ²  directed by the Spirit, ³  came into the temple courts, ⁴  and when the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what was customary according to the law, ⁵ 

Luke 11:42

11:42 “But woe to you Pharisees! ⁶  You give a tenth ⁷  of your mint, ⁸  rue, ⁹  and every herb, yet you neglect justice ¹⁰  and love for God! But you should have done these things without neglecting the others. ¹¹ 

[2:27]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the consequential nature of the action.

[2:27]  ² tn Grk “he”; the referent (Simeon) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[2:27]  ³ tn Grk “So in the Spirit” or “So by the Spirit,” but since it refers to the Spirit’s direction the expanded translation “directed by the Spirit” is used here.

[2:27]  ⁴ tn Grk “the temple.”

[2:27]  ⁵ tn Grk “to do for him according to the custom of the law.” See Luke 2:22-24.

[11:42]  ⁶ tn Grk “Woe to you…because you…” The causal particle ὅτι (Joti) has not been translated here for rhetorical effect (and so to the end of this chapter).

[11:42]  ⁷ tn Or “you tithe mint.”

[11:42]  ⁸ sn These small herbs were tithed with great care (Mishnah, m. Demai 2:1).

[11:42]  ⁹ tn Grk “and rue.” Καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

[11:42]  ¹⁰ sn Justice was a major theme of OT ethics (Mic 6:8; Zech 7:8-10).

[11:42]  ¹¹ tn Grk “those”; but this has been translated as “the others” to clarify which are meant.
