NETBible

“Return to your home,¹ and declare² what God has done for you.”³ So⁴ he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole town⁵ what Jesus⁶ had done for him.

NET Notes

¹tn Grk “your house.”

²tn Or “describe.”

³sn Jesus instructs the man to declare what God has done for him, in contrast to the usual instructions (e.g., 8:56; 9:21) 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.

⁴tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the man’s response to Jesus’ instructions.

⁵tn Or “city.”

⁶sn 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.
