Luke 7:41

7:41 “A certain creditor ¹  had two debtors; one owed him ²  five hundred silver coins, ³  and the other fifty.

Luke 20:24

20:24 “Show me a denarius. ⁴  Whose image ⁵  and inscription are on it?” ⁶  They said, “Caesar’s.”

Luke 10:35

10:35 The ⁷  next day he took out two silver coins ⁸  and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, ‘Take care of him, and whatever else you spend, I will repay you when I come back this way.’ ⁹ 

[7:41]  ¹ sn A creditor was a moneylender, whose business was to lend money to others at a fixed rate of interest.

[7:41]  ² tn The word “him” is not in the Greek text, but is implied.

[7:41]  ³ tn Grk “five hundred denarii.”

[20:24]  ⁴ tn Here the specific name of the coin was retained in the translation, because not all coins in circulation in Palestine at the time carried the image of Caesar. In other places δηνάριον (dhnarion) has been translated simply as “silver coin” with an explanatory note.

[20:24]  ⁵ tn Or “whose likeness.”

[20:24]  ⁶ tn Grk “whose likeness and inscription does it have?”

[10:35]  ⁷ tn Grk “And the.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[10:35]  ⁸ tn Grk “two denarii.”

[10:35]  ⁹ tn Grk “when I come back”; the words “this way” are part of an English idiom used to translate the phrase.
