The Beginning of Jesus’ Ministry in Galilee

4:14 Then ¹⁵  Jesus, in the power of the Spirit, ¹⁶  returned to Galilee, and news about him spread ¹⁷  throughout the surrounding countryside. ¹⁸ 

Luke 7:17

7:17 This ¹⁹  report ²⁰  about Jesus ²¹  circulated ²²  throughout ²³  Judea and all the surrounding country.

[4:37]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate resultative nature of the action.

[4:37]  ² tn That is, “information concerning a person or an event – ‘report, news, word, information’” (L&N 33.211).

[4:37]  ³ sn Given Luke 4:31, the phrase the region is a reference to Galilee.

[8:37]  ⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[8:37]  ⁵ tc See the tc note on “Gerasenes” in v. 26 for the same geographical options for the textual variants.

[8:37]  ⁶ tn Grk “all the people of the surrounding region of the Gerasenes,” but according to L&N 1.80, “περίχωρος may include not only the surrounding region but also the point of reference, for example…‘the Gerasenes and the people living around them’ Lk 8:37.”

[8:37]  ⁷ tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:37]  ⁸ tn Or “to depart from them.”

[8:37]  ⁹ sn Again there is great fear at God’s activity, but there is a different reaction. Some people want nothing to do with God’s presence. Mark 5:16 hints that economic reasons motivated their request.

[8:37]  ¹⁰ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate that Jesus’ departure was the result of the Gerasenes’ response. A new sentence was started in the translation at this point for stylistic reasons.

[8:37]  ¹¹ tn Grk “returned,” but the effect is that he departed from the Gerasene region.

[3:3]  ⁷ tn Grk “And he.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style. Due to the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[3:3]  ⁸ tn “River” is not in the Greek text but is supplied for clarity.

[3:3]  ⁹ sn A baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins was a call for preparation for the arrival of the Lord’s salvation. To participate in this baptism was a recognition of the need for God’s forgiveness with a sense that one needed to live differently as a response to it (Luke 3:10-14).

[4:14]  ¹⁰ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[4:14]  ¹¹ sn Once again Jesus is directed by the Spirit. Luke makes a point about Jesus’ association with the Spirit early in his ministry (3:22, 4:1 [2x]; 4:18).

[4:14]  ¹² tn Grk “went out.”

[4:14]  ¹³ tn Grk “all the surrounding region.”

[7:17]  ¹³ tn Grk “And this.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[7:17]  ¹⁴ sn See Luke 4:14 for a similar report.

[7:17]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[7:17]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “went out.”

[7:17]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “through the whole of.”
