Luke 7:21

7:21 At that very time ¹  Jesus ²  cured many people of diseases, sicknesses, ³  and evil spirits, and granted ⁴  sight to many who were blind.

Luke 7:47

7:47 Therefore I tell you, her sins, which were many, are forgiven, thus she loved much; ⁵  but the one who is forgiven little loves little.”

Luke 12:19

12:19 And I will say to myself, ⁶  “You have plenty of goods stored up for many years; relax, eat, drink, celebrate!”’

Luke 16:10

16:10 “The one who is faithful in a very little ⁷  is also faithful in much, and the one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.

[7:21]  ¹ tn Grk “In that hour.”

[7:21]  ² tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[7:21]  ³ tn Grk “and sicknesses,” but καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

[7:21]  ⁴ tn Or “and bestowed (sight) on.”

[7:47]  ⁵ tn Grk “for she loved much.” The connection between this statement and the preceding probably involves an ellipsis, to the effect that the ὅτι clause gives the evidence of forgiveness, not the ground. For similar examples of an “evidentiary” ὅτι, cf. Luke 1:22; 6:21; 13:2. See discussion in D. L. Bock, Luke [BECNT], 1:703-5. Further evidence that this is the case here is the final statement: “the one who is forgiven little loves little” means that the one who is forgiven little is thus not able to love much. The REB renders this verse: “her great love proves that her many sins have been forgiven; where little has been forgiven, little love is shown.”

[12:19]  ⁹ tn Grk “to my soul,” which is repeated as a vocative in the following statement, but is left untranslated as redundant.

[16:10]  ¹³ sn The point of the statement faithful in a very little is that character is shown in how little things are treated.
