Luke 8:36

8:36 Those ⁴  who had seen it told them how the man who had been demon-possessed had been healed. ⁵ 

Luke 18:37

18:37 They ⁶  told him, “Jesus the Nazarene is passing by.”

[7:18]  ¹ tn Grk “And John’s.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style. This is a reference to John the Baptist as the following context makes clear.

[7:18]  ² tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate that John’s action was a result of the report he had heard.

[7:18]  ³ tn Grk “And calling two of his disciples, John sent.” The participle προσκαλεσάμενος (proskalesameno") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[8:36]  ⁴ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[8:36]  ⁵ tn Or “had been delivered”; Grk “had been saved.” This should not be understood as an expression for full salvation. They were only discussing the healing.

[18:37]  ⁷ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated. “They” could refer to bystanders or people in the crowd.
