Luke 9:42

9:42 As ¹  the boy ²  was approaching, the demon threw him to the ground ³  and shook him with convulsions. ⁴  But Jesus rebuked ⁵  the unclean ⁶  spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

Luke 15:20

15:20 So ⁷  he got up and went to his father. But while he was still a long way from home ⁸  his father saw him, and his heart went out to him; ⁹  he ran and hugged ¹⁰  his son ¹¹  and kissed him.

Luke 16:2

16:2 So ¹²  he called the manager ¹³  in and said to him, ‘What is this I hear about you? ¹⁴  Turn in the account of your administration, ¹⁵  because you can no longer be my manager.’

Luke 18:22

18:22 When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “One thing you still lack. Sell all that you have ¹⁶  and give the money ¹⁷  to the poor, ¹⁸  and you will have treasure ¹⁹  in heaven. Then ²⁰  come, follow me.”

Luke 24:44

Jesus’ Final Commission

24:44 Then ²¹  he said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me ²²  in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms ²³  must be fulfilled.”

[9:42]  ¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[9:42]  ² tn Grk “he”; the referent (the boy) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[9:42]  ³ sn At this point the boy was thrown down in another convulsion by the demon. See L&N 23.168.

[9:42]  ⁴ tn See L&N 23.167-68, where the second verb συσπαράσσω (susparassw) is taken to mean the violent shaking associated with the convulsions, thus the translation here “and shook him with convulsions.”

[9:42]  ⁵ tn Or “commanded” (often with the implication of a threat, L&N 33.331).

[9:42]  ⁶ sn This is a reference to an evil spirit. See Luke 4:33.

[15:20]  ⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the result of the son’s decision to return home. Greek style often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” but English style generally does not.

[15:20]  ⁸ tn Grk “a long way off from [home].” The word “home” is implied (L&N 85.16).

[15:20]  ⁹ tn Or “felt great affection for him,” “felt great pity for him.”

[15:20]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “he fell on his neck,” an idiom for showing special affection for someone by throwing one’s arms around them. The picture is of the father hanging on the son’s neck in welcome.

[15:20]  ¹¹ tn Grk “him”; the referent (the son) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[16:2]  ¹³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the result of the reports the man received about his manager.

[16:2]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “him”; the referent (the manager) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[16:2]  ¹⁵ sn Although phrased as a question, the charges were believed by the owner, as his dismissal of the manager implies.

[16:2]  ¹⁶ tn Or “stewardship”; the Greek word οἰκονομία (oikonomia) is cognate with the noun for the manager (οἰκονόμος, oikonomo").

[18:22]  ¹⁹ sn See Luke 14:33.

[18:22]  ²⁰ tn The words “the money” are not in the Greek text, but are implied. Direct objects were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

[18:22]  ²¹ sn See Luke 1:50-53; 6:20-23; 14:12-14.

[18:22]  ²² sn The call for sacrifice comes with a promise of eternal reward: …you will have treasure in heaven. Jesus’ call is a test to see how responsive the man is to God’s direction through him. Will he walk the path God’s agent calls him to walk? For a rich person who got it right, see Zacchaeus in Luke 19:1-10.

[18:22]  ²³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the conversation.

[24:44]  ²⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[24:44]  ²⁶ sn Everything written about me. The divine plan, events, and scripture itself are seen here as being one.

[24:44]  ²⁷ sn For a similar threefold division of the OT scriptures, see the prologue to Sirach, lines 8-10, and from Qumran, the epilogue to 4QMMT, line 10.
