[6:7]  1 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[9:17]  2 tn Heb “hear.” Here the verb refers to hearing favorably, accepting the prayer and responding positively.

[9:17]  3 tn Heb “let your face shine.” This idiom pictures God smiling in favor. See Pss 31:16; 67:1; 80:3, 7, 19.

[9:17]  4 tn Heb “for the sake of my Lord.” Theodotion has “for your sake.” Cf. v. 19.

[9:18]  5 tn Heb “turn your ear.”

[9:18]  6 tn Heb “desolations.” The term refers here to the ruined condition of Judah’s towns.

[9:18]  7 tn Heb “over which your name is called.” Cf. v. 19. This expression implies that God is the owner of his city, Jerusalem. Note the use of the idiom in 2 Sam 12:28; Isa 4:1; Amos 9:12.

[9:18]  8 tn Heb “praying our supplications before you.”

[9:19]  9 tn Heb “for your name is called over your city and your people.” See the note on this expression in v 18.

[18:1]  10 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[18:1]  11 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[18:1]  12 tn Or “should pray at all times” (L&N 67.88).

[18:1]  13 sn This is one of the few parables that comes with an explanation at the start: …they should always pray and not lose heart. It is part of Luke’s goal in encouraging Theophilus (1:4).

[18:2]  14 tn Grk “lose heart, saying.” This is a continuation of the previous sentence in the Greek text, but a new sentence was started here in the translation by supplying the pronominal subject “He.”

[18:2]  15 tn Or “town.”

[18:2]  16 sn The judge here is apparently portrayed as a civil judge who often handled financial cases.

[18:2]  17 tn Grk “man,” but the singular ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") is used as a generic in comparison to God.
