Luke 4:23

4:23 Jesus ¹  said to them, “No doubt you will quote to me the proverb, ‘Physician, heal yourself!’ ²  and say, ‘What we have heard that you did in Capernaum, ³  do here in your hometown too.’”

Luke 17:8

17:8 Won’t ⁴  the master ⁵  instead say to him, ‘Get my dinner ready, and make yourself ready ⁶  to serve me while ⁷  I eat and drink. Then ⁸  you may eat and drink’?

Luke 22:11

22:11 and tell the owner of the house, ⁹  ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?”’

[4:23]  ¹ tn Grk “And he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity. Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[4:23]  ² sn The proverb Physician, heal yourself! means that Jesus should prove his claims. It is a “Prove it to us!” mentality that Jesus says the people have.

[4:23]  ³ sn The remark “What we have heard that you did at Capernaum” makes many suspect that Luke has moved this event forward in sequence to typify what Jesus’ ministry was like, since the ministry in Capernaum follows in vv. 31-44. The location of this event in the parallel of Mark 6:1-6 also suggests this transposition.

[17:8]  ⁴ tn The question includes a Greek particle, οὐχί (ouci), that expects a positive reply. The slave is expected to prepare a meal before eating himself.

[17:8]  ⁵ tn Grk “he”; the referent has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[17:8]  ⁶ tn Grk “and gird yourself” (with an apron or towel, in preparation for service).

[17:8]  ⁷ tn BDAG 423 s.v. ἕως 2.b, “to denote contemporaneousness as long as, while… w. subjunctive… Lk 17:8.”

[17:8]  ⁸ tn Grk “after these things.”

[22:11]  ⁷ tn Grk “to the master of the household,” referring to one who owns and manages the household, including family, servants, and slaves (L&N 57.14).
