[5:25]  ¹ tn Grk “And immediately.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[5:25]  ² tn Grk “and picked up.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because contemporary English normally places a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series.

[5:25]  ³ tn Grk “picked up what he had been lying on”; the referent of the relative pronoun (the stretcher) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[5:25]  ⁴ sn Note the man’s response, glorifying God. Joy at God’s work is also a key theme in Luke: 2:20; 4:15; 5:26; 7:16; 13:13; 17:15; 18:43; 23:47.

[7:36]  ⁵ sn See the note on Pharisees in 5:17.

[7:36]  ⁶ tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[7:36]  ⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate that Jesus’ action was the result of the Pharisee’s invitation.

[7:36]  ⁸ tn Grk “and reclined at table,” as 1st century middle eastern meals were not eaten while sitting at a table, but while reclining on one’s side on the floor with the head closest to the low table and the feet farthest away.

[9:61]  ⁹ tn Grk “And another also said.”

[9:61]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “to those in my house.”

[11:51]  ¹³ sn Gen 4:10 indicates that Abel’s blood cried out for justice.

[11:51]  ¹⁴ sn It is not clear which Zechariah is meant here. It is probably the person mentioned in 2 Chr 24:20-25.

[11:51]  ¹⁵ tn Or “who perished.”

[11:51]  ¹⁶ tn Or “and the temple”; Grk “and the house,” but in this context a reference to the house of God as a place of sanctuary.

[11:51]  ¹⁷ tn Or “required from.”

[14:1]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “Now it happened that one.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated. Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.

[14:1]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “to eat bread,” an idiom for participating in a meal.

[14:1]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “a ruler of the Pharisees.” He was probably a synagogue official.

[14:1]  ²⁰ sn See the note on Pharisees in 5:17.

[14:1]  ²¹ sn Watching…closely is a graphic term meaning to lurk and watch; see Luke 11:53-54.

[14:23]  ²¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the master’s response to the slave’s report.

[14:23]  ²² tn Grk “the”; in context the article is used as a possessive pronoun (ExSyn 215).

[14:23]  ²³ sn Go out to the highways and country roads. This suggests the inclusion of people outside the town, even beyond the needy (poor, crippled, blind, and lame) in the town, and so is an allusion to the inclusion of the Gentiles.

[14:23]  ²⁴ tn The Greek word φραγμός (fragmo") refers to a fence, wall, or hedge surrounding a vineyard (BDAG 1064 s.v. 1). “Highways” and “country roads” probably refer not to separate places, but to the situation outside the town where the rural roads run right alongside the hedges or fences surrounding the fields (cf. J. A. Fitzmyer, Luke [AB], 1057).

[14:23]  ²⁵ tn Traditionally “force” or “compel,” but according to BDAG 60 s.v. ἀναγκάζω 2 this is a weakened nuance: “strongly urge/invite.” The meaning in this context is more like “persuade.”

[14:23]  ²⁶ tn The word “people” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

[14:23]  ²⁷ sn So that my house will be filled. God will bless many people.

[19:9]  ²⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative

[19:9]  ²⁶ sn This is one of the few uses of the specific term salvation in Luke (1:69, 71, 77), though the concept runs throughout the Gospel.

[19:9]  ²⁷ sn The household is not a reference to the building, but to the people who lived within it (L&N 10.8).

[19:9]  ²⁸ sn Zacchaeus was personally affirmed by Jesus as a descendant (son) of Abraham and a member of God’s family.
