Luke 8:40

Restoration and Healing

8:40 Now when Jesus returned, ¹  the crowd welcomed him, because they were all waiting for him.

Luke 13:1

A Call to Repent

13:1 Now ²  there were some present on that occasion who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. ³ 

[8:40]  ¹ tn This is a temporal infinitival clause in contrast to Mark’s genitive absolute (Mark 5:21).

[13:1]  ² tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.

[13:1]  ³ sn This is an event that otherwise is unattested, though several events similar to it are noted in Josephus (J. W. 2.9.2-4 [2.169-177]; Ant. 13.13.5 [13.372-73], 18.3.1-2 [18.55-62]; 18.4.1 [18.85-87]). It would have caused a major furor.
