Luke 5:15

5:15 But the news about him spread even more, ¹  and large crowds were gathering together to hear him ²  and to be healed of their illnesses.

Luke 8:2

8:2 and also some women ³  who had been healed of evil spirits and disabilities: ⁴  Mary ⁵  (called Magdalene), from whom seven demons had gone out,

[5:15]  ¹ sn That is, in spite of Jesus’ instructions to the man to tell no one about the healing (v. 14).

[5:15]  ² tn The word “him” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

[8:2]  ³ sn There is an important respect shown to women in this text, as their contributions were often ignored in ancient society.

[8:2]  ⁴ tn Or “illnesses.” The term ἀσθένεια (asqeneia) refers to the state of being ill and thus incapacitated in some way – “illness, disability, weakness.” (L&N 23.143).

[8:2]  ⁵ sn This Mary is not the woman mentioned in the previous passage (as some church fathers claimed), because she is introduced as a new figure here. In addition, she is further specified by Luke with the notation called Magdalene, which seems to distinguish her from the woman at Simon the Pharisee’s house.
