Luke 7:6

7:6 So ¹  Jesus went with them. When ²  he was not far from the house, the centurion ³  sent friends to say to him, “Lord, do not trouble yourself, ⁴  for I am not worthy ⁵  to have you come under my roof.

Luke 11:42

11:42 “But woe to you Pharisees! ⁶  You give a tenth ⁷  of your mint, ⁸  rue, ⁹  and every herb, yet you neglect justice ¹⁰  and love for God! But you should have done these things without neglecting the others. ¹¹ 

Luke 16:15

16:15 But ¹²  Jesus ¹³  said to them, “You are the ones who justify yourselves in men’s eyes, ¹⁴  but God knows your hearts. For what is highly prized ¹⁵  among men is utterly detestable ¹⁶  in God’s sight.

Luke 20:46

20:46 “Beware ¹⁷  of the experts in the law. ¹⁸  They ¹⁹  like walking around in long robes, and they love elaborate greetings ²⁰  in the marketplaces and the best seats ²¹  in the synagogues ²²  and the places of honor at banquets.

[7:6]  ¹ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate the resultative action.

[7:6]  ² tn The participle ἀπέχοντος (apeconto") has been taken temporally.

[7:6]  ³ sn See the note on the word centurion in 7:2.

[7:6]  ⁴ tn Or “do not be bothered.”

[7:6]  ⁵ sn Note the humility in the centurion’s statement I am not worthy in light of what others think (as v. 4 notes). See Luke 5:8 for a similar example of humility.

[11:42]  ⁶ tn Grk “Woe to you…because you…” The causal particle ὅτι (Joti) has not been translated here for rhetorical effect (and so to the end of this chapter).

[11:42]  ⁷ tn Or “you tithe mint.”

[11:42]  ⁸ sn These small herbs were tithed with great care (Mishnah, m. Demai 2:1).

[11:42]  ⁹ tn Grk “and rue.” 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.

[11:42]  ¹⁰ sn Justice was a major theme of OT ethics (Mic 6:8; Zech 7:8-10).

[11:42]  ¹¹ tn Grk “those”; but this has been translated as “the others” to clarify which are meant.

[16:15]  ¹¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[16:15]  ¹² tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[16:15]  ¹³ tn Grk “before men.” The contrast is between outward appearance (“in people’s eyes”) and inward reality (“God knows your hearts”). Here the Greek term ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") is used twice in a generic sense, referring to both men and women, but “men” has been retained in the text to provide a strong verbal contrast with “God” in the second half of the verse.

[16:15]  ¹⁴ tn Or “exalted.” This refers to the pride that often comes with money and position.

[16:15]  ¹⁵ tn Or “is an abomination,” “is abhorrent” (L&N 25.187).

[20:46]  ¹⁶ tn Or “Be on guard against.” This is a present imperative and indicates that pride is something to constantly be on the watch against.

[20:46]  ¹⁷ tn Or “of the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 5:21.

[20:46]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “who,” continuing the sentence begun by the prior phrase.

[20:46]  ¹⁹ sn There is later Jewish material in the Talmud that spells out such greetings in detail. See D. L. Bock, Luke (BECNT), 2:1642; H. Windisch, TDNT 1:498.

[20:46]  ²⁰ sn See Luke 14:1-14.

[20:46]  ²¹ sn See the note on synagogues in 4:15.
