[9:4]  ¹ tn Grk “And whatever.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[9:4]  ² sn Jesus telling his disciples to stay there in one house contrasts with the practice of religious philosophers in the ancient world who went from house to house begging.

[9:4]  ³ tn Grk “and depart from there.” The literal wording could be easily misunderstood; the meaning is that the disciples were not to move from house to house in the same town or locality, but remain at the same house as long as they were in that place.

[12:34]  ⁴ sn Seeking heavenly treasure means serving others and honoring God by doing so; see Luke 6:35-36.

[21:2]  ⁷ sn These two small copper coins were lepta (sing. “lepton”), the smallest and least valuable coins in circulation in Palestine, worth one-half of a quadrans or 1/128 of a denarius, or about six minutes of an average daily wage. This was next to nothing in value.

[2:6]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “And it happened that while.” 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. Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[2:6]  ¹¹ tn The words “her child” are not in the Greek text, but have been supplied to clarify what was being delivered. The wording here is like Luke 1:57. Grk “the days for her to give birth were fulfilled.”

[17:21]  ¹³ tn This is a present tense in the Greek text. In contrast to waiting and looking for the kingdom, it is now available.

[17:21]  ¹⁴ tn This is a far better translation than “in you.” Jesus would never tell the hostile Pharisees that the kingdom was inside them. The reference is to Jesus present in their midst. He brings the kingdom. Another possible translation would be “in your grasp.” For further discussion and options, see D. L. Bock, Luke (BECNT), 2:1414-19.

[17:23]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “And they will say.” The plural in Greek is indefinite, referring to people in general. Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[17:23]  ¹⁷ tn The words “he is” here and in the following clause are understood and have been supplied from the context.

[17:23]  ¹⁸ sn Do not go out or chase after them. There will be no need to search for the Son of Man at his coming, though many will falsely claim its arrival.

[8:32]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “mountain,” but this might give the English reader the impression of a far higher summit.

[8:32]  ²⁰ tn Grk “they”; the referent (the demonic spirits) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:32]  ²¹ tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:32]  ²² sn Many have discussed why Jesus gave them permission, since the animals were destroyed. However, this is another example of a miracle that is a visual lesson. The demons are destructive: They were destroying the man. They destroyed the pigs. They destroy whatever they touch. The point was to take demonic influence seriously, as well as Jesus’ power over it as a picture of the larger battle for human souls. There would be no doubt how the man’s transformation had taken place.

[10:6]  ²² tn Grk “a son of peace,” a Hebrew idiom for a person of a certain class or kind, as specified by the following genitive construction (in this case, “of peace”). Such constructions are discussed further in L&N 9.4. Here the expression refers to someone who responds positively to the disciples’ message, like “wisdom’s child” in Luke 7:30.

[10:6]  ²³ sn The response to these messengers determines how God’s blessing is bestowed – if they are not welcomed with peace, their blessing will return to them. Jesus shows just how important their mission is by this remark.

[12:18]  ²⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[12:18]  ²⁶ sn Note how often the first person pronoun is present in these verses. The farmer is totally self absorbed.

[15:13]  ²⁸ tn Grk “And after.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[15:13]  ²⁹ tn Grk “after not many days.”

[15:13]  ³⁰ tn Or “wasted.” This verb is graphic; it means to scatter (L&N 57.151).

[15:13]  ³¹ tn Or “estate” (the same word has been translated “estate” in v. 12).

[17:37]  ³¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[17:37]  ³² tn Grk “they”; the referent (the disciples, v. 22) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[17:37]  ³³ tn Grk “answering, they said to him.” This is redundant in contemporary English and has been simplified in the translation.

[17:37]  ³⁴ sn The question “Where, Lord?” means, “Where will the judgment take place?”

[17:37]  ³⁵ tn Or “corpse.”

[17:37]  ³⁶ tn The same Greek term can refer to “eagles” or “vultures” (L&N 4.42; BDAG 22 s.v. ἀετός), but in this context it must mean vultures, because the gruesome image is one of dead bodies being consumed by scavengers.

[17:37]  ³⁷ tn Grk “will be gathered.” The passive construction has been translated as an active one in English.

[23:33]  ³⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the conclusion of the preceding material.

[23:33]  ³⁵ sn The place that is called ‘The Skull’ (known as Golgotha in Aramaic, cf. John 19:17) is north and just outside of Jerusalem. The hill on which it is located protruded much like a skull, giving the place its name. The Latin word for Greek κρανίον (kranion) is calvaria, from which the English word “Calvary” derives (cf. Luke 23:33 in the KJV).

[23:33]  ³⁶ sn See the note on crucify in 23:21.

[6:6]  ³⁷ 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.

[6:6]  ³⁸ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[6:6]  ³⁹ sn See the note on synagogues in 4:15.

[6:6]  ⁴⁰ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic. In addition, because the Greek sentence is rather long and complex, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[6:6]  ⁴¹ tn Grk “a man was there and his right hand was withered.”

[11:26]  ⁴⁰ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the concluding point of the story.

[11:26]  ⁴¹ tn Grk “man.” This is a generic use of ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo"), referring to both males and females.

[11:26]  ⁴² sn The point of the story is that to fail to respond is to risk a worse fate than when one started.

[13:28]  ⁴³ sn Weeping and gnashing of teeth is a figure for remorse and trauma, which occurs here because of exclusion from God’s promise.

[13:28]  ⁴⁴ tn Grk “and Isaac and Jacob,” but καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

[13:28]  ⁴⁵ sn The kingdom of God is a major theme of Jesus. It is a realm in which Jesus rules and to which those who trust him belong. See Luke 6:20; 11:20; 17:20-21.

[13:28]  ⁴⁶ tn Or “being thrown out.” The present accusative participle, ἐκβαλλομένους (ekballomenous), related to the object ὑμᾶς (Jumas), seems to suggest that these evildoers will witness their own expulsion from the kingdom.
