	    					    					 2 sn Neither were they happy with Jesus (the Son of Man), even though he was the opposite of John and associated freely with people like tax collectors and sinners. Either way, God’s messengers were subject to complaint.  | 
	    		
| (0.49392208695652) | (Luk 7:39) | 
	    					    					 2 tn This is a good example of a second class (contrary to fact) Greek conditional sentence. The Pharisee said, in effect, “If this man were a prophet (but he is not)…”  | 
	    		
| (0.49392208695652) | (Luk 7:50) | 
	    					    					 3 sn The questioning did not stop Jesus. He declared authoritatively that the woman was forgiven by God (your faith has saved you). This event is a concrete example of Luke 5:31-32.  | 
	    		
| (0.49392208695652) | (Luk 8:25) | 
	    					    					 4 sn Jesus’ authority over creation raised a question for the disciples about who he was exactly (“Who then is this?”). This verse shows that the disciples followed Jesus even though they did not know all about him yet.  | 
	    		
| (0.49392208695652) | (Luk 9:58) | 
	    					    					 2 sn Jesus’ reply is simply this: Does the man understand the rejection he will be facing? Jesus has no home in the world (the Son of Man has no place to lay his head).  | 
	    		
| (0.49392208695652) | (Luk 10:27) | 
	    					    					 1 tn Grk “And he”; the referent (the expert in religious law, shortened here to “the expert”) has been specified in the translation for clarity. Here δέ (de) has not been translated.  | 
	    		
| (0.49392208695652) | (Luk 10:28) | 
	    					    					 2 sn Jesus commends the reply (you have answered correctly). What is assumed here, given the previous context, is that he will respond to Jesus’ message, as to love God is to respond to his Son; see v. he%27s&tab=notes" ver="">22.  | 
	    		
| (0.49392208695652) | (Luk 10:31) | 
	    					    					 2 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context between the priest’s expected action (helping the victim) and what he really did.  | 
	    		
| (0.49392208695652) | (Luk 10:33) | 
	    					    					 5 sn Here is what made the Samaritan different: He felt compassion for him. In the story, compassion becomes the concrete expression of love. The next verse details explicitly six acts of compassion.  | 
	    		
| (0.49392208695652) | (Luk 12:28) | 
	    					    					 5 sn The phrase how much more is a typical form of rabbinic argumentation, from the lesser to the greater. If God cares for the little things, surely he will care for the more important things.  | 
	    		
| (0.49392208695652) | (Luk 13:27) | 
	    					    					 2 tc Most   | 
	    		
| (0.49392208695652) | (Luk 15:4) | 
	    					    					 5 sn Until he finds it. The parable pictures God’s pursuit of the sinner. On the image of Jesus as the Good Shepherd, see John 10:1-18.  | 
	    		
| (0.49392208695652) | (Luk 15:12) | 
	    					    					 7 sn He divided his assets between them. There was advice against doing this in the OT Apocrypha (Sir 33:20). The younger son would get half of what the older son received (Deut 21:17).  | 
	    		
| (0.49392208695652) | (Luk 15:20) | 
	    					    					 4 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.  | 
	    		
| (0.49392208695652) | (Luk 15:27) | 
	    					    					 1 tn Grk “And he said to him.” Here δέ (de) has not been translated. The rest of the phrase has been simplified to “the slave replied,” with the referent (the slave) specified in the translation for clarity.  | 
	    		
| (0.49392208695652) | (Luk 15:30) | 
	    					    					 2 sn This is another graphic description. The younger son’s consumption had been like a glutton. He had both figuratively and literally devoured the assets which were given to him.  | 
	    		
| (0.49392208695652) | (Luk 16:20) | 
	    					    					 1 tn The passive verb ἐβέβλητο (ebeblhto) does not indicate how Lazarus got there. Cf. BDAG 163 s.v. βάλλω 1.b, “he lay before the door”; Josephus, Ant. 9.10.2 (9.209).  | 
	    		
| (0.49392208695652) | (Luk 18:2) | 
	    					    					 1 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.”  | 
	    		
| (0.49392208695652) | (Luk 18:15) | 
	    					    					 3 tn Grk “so that he would touch them.” Here the touch is connected with (or conveys) a blessing (cf. Mark 10:16; also BDAG 126 s.v. ἅπτω 2.c).  | 
	    		
| (0.49392208695652) | (Luk 18:21) | 
	    					    					 1 tn Grk “And he”; the referent (the ruler mentioned in v. he%27s&tab=notes" ver="">18) has been specified in the translation for clarity. Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.  |
