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 8:2

8:2 and also some women ⁵  who had been healed of evil spirits and disabilities: ⁶  Mary ⁷  (called Magdalene), from whom seven demons had gone out,

[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.”

[8:2]  ⁵ sn There is an important respect shown to women in this text, as their contributions were often ignored in ancient society.

[8:2]  ⁶ 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]  ⁷ 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.
