Luke 7:48

7:48 Then ¹  Jesus ²  said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.” ³ 

Luke 7:13

7:13 When ⁴  the Lord saw her, he had compassion ⁵  for her and said to her, “Do not weep.” ⁶ 

[7:48]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[7:48]  ² tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[7:48]  ³ sn Jesus showed his authority to forgive sins, something that was quite controversial. See Luke 5:17-26 and the next verse.

[7:13]  ⁴ tn Grk “And seeing her, the Lord.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style. The participle ἰδών (idwn) has been taken temporally.

[7:13]  ⁵ sn He had compassion. It is unusual for Luke to note such emotion by Jesus, though the other Synoptics tend to mention it (Matt 14:14; Mark 6:34; Matt 15:32; Mark 8:2).

[7:13]  ⁶ tn The verb κλαίω (klaiw) denotes the loud wailing or lamenting typical of 1st century Jewish mourning.
