Luke 9:14

9:14 (Now about five thousand men ¹  were there.) ²  Then ³  he said to his disciples, “Have ⁴  them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”

Luke 10:23

10:23 Then ⁵  Jesus ⁶  turned ⁷  to his ⁸  disciples and said privately, “Blessed ⁹  are the eyes that see what you see!

Luke 22:45

22:45 When ¹⁰  he got up from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping, exhausted ¹¹  from grief.

[9:14]  ¹ tn The Greek text reads here ἄνδρες (andres) – that is, adult males. The actual count would be larger, since the use of this Greek term suggests that women and children were not included in this number (see the parallel in Matt 14:21).

[9:14]  ² sn This is a parenthetical note by the author.

[9:14]  ³ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[9:14]  ⁴ tn Or “Make” (depending on how the force of the imperative verb is understood). Grk “cause them to recline” (the verb has causative force here).

[10:23]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[10:23]  ⁶ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[10:23]  ⁷ tn Grk “turning to the disciples, he said.” The participle στραφείς (strafei") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[10:23]  ⁸ tn Grk “the”; in context the article is used as a possessive pronoun (ExSyn 215).

[10:23]  ⁹ sn This beatitude highlights the great honor bestowed on the disciples to share in this salvation, as v. 20 also noted. See also Luke 2:30.

[22:45]  ⁹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[22:45]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “from grief.” The word “exhausted” is not in the Greek text, but is implied; the disciples have fallen asleep from mental and emotional exhaustion resulting from their distress (see L&N 25.273; cf. TEV, NIV, NLT).
