Luke 9:4

Luke 17:5

17:5 The ⁹  apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” ¹⁰

Luke 22:28

22:28 “You are the ones who have remained ¹²  with me in my trials.

[2:3]  ¹ tn Grk “And everyone.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[2:3]  ² tn Or “hometown” (so CEV).

[7:5]  ³ tn Or “people.” The use of ἔθνος (eqnos, “nation”) here instead of “God” probably meant the man was not a full proselyte, but that he had simply been supportive of the Jews and their culture. He could have been a God-fearer. The Romans saw a stable religious community as politically helpful and often supported it (Josephus, Ant. 16.6.2 [16.162-165], 19.6.3 [19.300-311]).

[7:5]  ⁴ tn In the Greek text, the pronoun αὐτός (autos) is included, making this emphatic. Naturally the force of this statement is causative, meaning the centurion either had the synagogue built or donated the cost of its construction.

[7:5]  ⁵ sn See the note on synagogues in 4:15.

[9:4]  ⁵ tn Grk “And whatever.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[9:4]  ⁶ sn Jesus telling his disciples to stay there in one house contrasts with the practice of religious philosophers in the ancient world who went from house to house begging.

[9:4]  ⁷ tn Grk “and depart from there.” The literal wording could be easily misunderstood; the meaning is that the disciples were not to move from house to house in the same town or locality, but remain at the same house as long as they were in that place.

[17:5]  ⁷ tn Grk “And the.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[17:5]  ⁸ sn The request of the apostles, “Increase our faith,” is not a request for a gift of faith, but a request to increase the depth of their faith.

[17:25]  ⁹ sn The Son of Man’s suffering and rejection by this generation is another “it is necessary” type of event in God’s plan (Luke 4:43; 24:7, 26, 44) and the fifth passion prediction in Luke’s account (9:22, 44; 12:50; 13:32-33; for the last, see 18:32-33).

[22:28]  ¹¹ tn Or “continued” (L&N 34.3). Jesus acknowledges the disciples’ faithfulness.
