Luke 7:39-40

Context
7:39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, 1  he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, 2  he would know who and what kind of woman 3  this is who is touching him, that she is a sinner.” 7:40 So 4  Jesus answered him, 5  “Simon, I have something to say to you.” He replied, 6  “Say it, Teacher.”

[7:39]  1 tn The word “this” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

[7:39]  2 tn This is a good example of a second class (contrary to fact) Greek conditional sentence. The Pharisee said, in effect, “If this man were a prophet (but he is not)…”

[7:39]  3 sn The Pharisees believed in a form of separationism that would have prevented them from any kind of association with such a sinful woman.

[7:40]  4 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the connection with the preceding statement recording the Pharisee’s thoughts.

[7:40]  5 tn Grk “answering, said to him.” This is redundant in contemporary English and has been simplified to “answered him.”

[7:40]  6 tn Grk “he said.”
