Luke 6:19

6:19 The ¹  whole crowd was trying to touch him, because power ²  was coming out from him and healing them all.

Luke 8:46

8:46 But Jesus said, “Someone touched me, for I know that power has gone out ³  from me.”

Luke 22:69

22:69 But from now on ⁴  the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand ⁵  of the power ⁶  of God.”

[6:19]  ¹ tn Grk “And the.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[6:19]  ² sn There was a recognition that there was great power at work through Jesus, the subject of a great debate in 11:14-23. Luke highlights Jesus’ healing ministry (5:17; 6:18; 7:7; 8:47; 9:11, 42; 14:4; 17:15; 18:42-43; 22:51; Acts 10:38).

[8:46]  ³ tn This is a consummative perfect. Jesus sensed that someone had approached him to be healed, as his reference to power makes clear. The perception underlies Jesus’ prophetic sense as well.

[22:69]  ⁵ sn From now on. Jesus’ authority was taken up from this moment on. Ironically he is now the ultimate judge, who is himself being judged.

[22:69]  ⁶ sn Seated at the right hand is an allusion to Ps 110:1 (“Sit at my right hand…”) and is a claim that Jesus shares authority with God in heaven. Those present may have thought they were his judges, but, in fact, the reverse was true.

[22:69]  ⁷ sn The expression the right hand of the power of God is a circumlocution for referring to God. Such indirect references to God were common in 1st century Judaism out of reverence for the divine name.
