Luke 9:13

9:13 But he said to them, “You ¹  give them something to eat.” They ²  replied, ³  “We have no more than five loaves and two fish – unless ⁴  we go ⁵  and buy food ⁶  for all these people.”

Luke 9:16

9:16 Then ⁷  he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven he gave thanks ⁸  and broke them. He gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd.

Luke 16:13

16:13 No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate ⁹  the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise ¹⁰  the other. You cannot serve God and money.” ¹¹ 

[9:13]  ¹ tn Here the pronoun ὑμεῖς (Jumeis) is used, making “you” in the translation emphatic.

[9:13]  ² tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[9:13]  ³ tn Grk “said.”

[9:13]  ⁴ tn This possibility is introduced through a conditional clause, but it is expressed with some skepticism (BDF §376).

[9:13]  ⁵ tn The participle πορευθέντες (poreuqente") has been taken as indicating attendant circumstance.

[9:13]  ⁶ sn Not only would going and buying food have been expensive and awkward at this late time of day, it would have taken quite a logistical effort to get the food back out to this isolated location.

[9:16]  ⁷ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[9:16]  ⁸ sn Gave thanks adds a note of gratitude to the setting. The scene is like two other later meals: Luke 22:19 and 24:30. Jesus gives thanks to God “with respect to” the provision of food. The disciples learn how Jesus is the mediator of blessing. John 6 speaks of him in this scene as picturing the “Bread of Life.”

[16:13]  ¹³ sn The contrast between hate and love here is rhetorical. The point is that one will choose the favorite if a choice has to be made.

[16:13]  ¹⁴ tn Or “and treat [the other] with contempt.”

[16:13]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “God and mammon.” This is the same word (μαμωνᾶς, mamwnas; often merely transliterated as “mammon”) translated “worldly wealth” in vv. 9, 11.
