Luke 7:6

[8:49]  ¹ tn That is, “the official in charge of the synagogue”; ἀρχισυνάγωγος (arcisunagwgo") refers to the “president of a synagogue” (so BDAG 139 s.v. and L&N 53.93). In this case the referent is Jairus (v. 41).

[7:6]  ² tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate the resultative action.

[7:6]  ³ tn The participle ἀπέχοντος (apeconto") has been taken temporally.

[7:6]  ⁵ tn Or “do not be bothered.”

[7:6]  ⁶ 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.
