Luke 17:5

17:5 The ⁴  apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” ⁵ 

[4:19]  ¹ sn The year of the Lord’s favor (Grk “the acceptable year of the Lord”) is a description of the year of Jubilee (Lev 25:10). The year of the total forgiveness of debt is now turned into a metaphor for salvation. Jesus had come to proclaim that God was ready to forgive sin totally.

[4:19]  ² sn A quotation from Isa 61:1-2a. Within the citation is a line from Isa 58:6, with its reference to setting the oppressed free.

[13:10]  ³ sn See the note on synagogues in 4:15.

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

[17:5]  ⁶ 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.
