Luke 8:34

8:34 When ¹  the herdsmen saw what had happened, they ran off and spread the news ²  in the town ³  and countryside.

Luke 15:15

15:15 So he went and worked for ⁴  one of the citizens of that country, who ⁵  sent him to his fields to feed pigs. ⁶ 

[8:34]  ¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[8:34]  ² tn Or “reported it.” This verb is used three times in the next few verses (vv. 36, 37), showing how the healing became a major topic of conversation in the district.

[8:34]  ³ tn Or “city.”

[15:15]  ⁴ tn Grk “joined himself to” (in this case an idiom for beginning to work for someone).

[15:15]  ⁵ tn Grk “and he.” Here the conjunction καί (kai) and the personal pronoun have been translated by a relative pronoun to improve the English style.

[15:15]  ⁶ sn To a Jew, being sent to the field to feed pigs would be an insult, since pigs were considered unclean animals (Lev 11:7).
