Luke 16:19

16:19 “There was a rich man who dressed in purple ⁴  and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously ⁵  every day.

Luke 17:28

17:28 Likewise, just as it was ⁶  in the days of Lot, people ⁷  were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building;

Luke 18:33

18:33 They will flog him severely ⁸  and kill him. Yet ⁹  on the third day he will rise again.”

Luke 23:12

23:12 That very day Herod and Pilate became friends with each other, ¹⁰  for prior to this they had been enemies. ¹¹ 

Luke 24:13

Jesus Walks the Road to Emmaus

24:13 Now ¹²  that very day two of them ¹³  were on their way to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles ¹⁴  from Jerusalem. ¹⁵ 

[9:37]  ¹ tn Grk “Now it happened that on.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[10:12]  ² sn The allusion to Sodom, the most wicked of OT cities from Gen 19:1-29, shows that to reject the current message is even more serious than the worst sins of the old era and will result in more severe punishment. The noun Sodom is in emphatic position in the Greek text.

[10:12]  ³ tn Or “city.”

[16:19]  ³ sn Purple describes a fine, expensive dye used on luxurious clothing, and by metonymy, refers to clothing colored with that dye. It pictures someone of great wealth.

[16:19]  ⁴ tn Or “celebrated with ostentation” (L&N 88.255), that is, with showing off. Here was the original conspicuous consumer.

[17:28]  ⁴ tn Or “as it happened.”

[17:28]  ⁵ tn Grk “they.” The plural in Greek is indefinite, referring to people in general.

[18:33]  ⁵ tn Traditionally, “scourge” (the term means to beat severely with a whip, L&N 19.9). BDAG 620 s.v. μαστιγόω 1. states, “Of the beating (Lat. verberatio) given those condemned to death…J 19:1; cf. Mt 20:19; Mk 10:34; Lk 18:33.” Here the term has been translated “flog…severely” to distinguish it from the term φραγελλόω (fragellow) used in Matt 27:26; Mark 15:15.

[18:33]  ⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “yet” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[23:12]  ⁶ sn Herod and Pilate became friends with each other. It may be that Pilate’s change of heart was related to the death of his superior, Sejanus, who had a reputation for being anti-Jewish. To please his superior, Pilate may have ruled the Jews with insensitivity. Concerning Sejanus, see Philo, Embassy 24 (160-61) and Flaccus 1 (1).

[23:12]  ⁷ tn Grk “at enmity with each other.”

[24:13]  ⁷ tn Grk “And behold.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic. The Greek word ἰδού (idou) at the beginning of this statement has not been translated because it has no exact English equivalent here, but adds interest and emphasis (BDAG 468 s.v. 1).

[24:13]  ⁸ tn These are disciples as they know about the empty tomb and do not know what to make of it all.

[24:13]  ⁹ tn Grk “sixty stades” or about 11 kilometers. A stade (στάδιον, stadion) was a unit of distance about 607 feet (187 meters) long.
