3:28 I tell you the truth, ⁶  people will be forgiven for all sins, even all the blasphemies they utter. ⁷

11:24 For this reason I tell you, whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

5:19 But ¹³  Jesus ¹⁴  did not permit him to do so. Instead, he said to him, “Go to your home and to your people and tell them what the Lord has done for you, ¹⁵  that he had mercy on you.”

[6:30]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[3:8]  ³ tn “River” is not in the Greek text but is supplied for clarity. The region referred to here is sometimes known as Transjordan (i.e., “across the Jordan”).

[3:8]  ⁵ sn These last two locations, Tyre and Sidon, represented an expansion outside of traditional Jewish territory. Jesus’ reputation continued to expand into new regions.

[3:28]  ³ tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”

[3:28]  ⁴ tn Grk “all the sins and blasphemies they may speak will be forgiven the sons of men.”

[5:20]  ⁴ tn Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “So” to indicate the conclusion of the episode in the narrative.

[5:20]  ⁵ sn The Decapolis refers to a league of towns (originally consisting of ten; the Greek name literally means “ten towns”) whose region (except for Scythopolis) lay across the Jordan River.

[5:20]  ⁶ sn Note that the man could not separate what God had done from the one through whom God had done it (what Jesus had done for him). This man was called to witness to God’s goodness at home.

[12:44]  ⁵ tn Grk “out of what abounded to them.”

[12:44]  ⁶ sn The contrast between this passage, 12:41-44, and what has come before in 11:27-12:40 is remarkable. The woman is set in stark contrast to the religious leaders. She was a poor widow, they were rich. She was uneducated in the law, they were well educated in the law. She was a woman, they were men. But whereas they evidenced no faith and actually stole money from God and men (cf. 11:17), she evidenced great faith and gave out of her extreme poverty everything she had.

[5:19]  ⁶ tn Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[5:19]  ⁷ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[5:19]  ⁸ sn Jesus instructs the man to declare what the Lord has done for him, in contrast to the usual instructions (e.g., 1:44; 5:43) to remain silent. Here in Gentile territory Jesus allowed more open discussion of his ministry. D. L. Bock (Luke [BECNT], 1:781) suggests that with few Jewish religious representatives present, there would be less danger of misunderstanding Jesus’ ministry as political.

[10:21]  ⁷ tn The words “the money” are not in the Greek text, but are implied. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

[10:21]  ⁸ 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.
