Lukas 8

Jesus’ Ministry and the Help of Women

8:1 Some time 1  afterward 2  he went on through towns 3  and villages, preaching and proclaiming the good news 4  of the kingdom of God. 5  The 6  twelve were with him, 8:2 and also some women 7  who had been healed of evil spirits and disabilities: 8  Mary 9  (called Magdalene), from whom seven demons had gone out, 8:3 and Joanna the wife of Cuza 10  (Herod’s 11  household manager), 12  Susanna, and many others who provided for them 13  out of their own resources.

The Parable of the Sower

8:4 While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus 14  from one town after another, 15  he spoke to them 16  in a parable: 8:5 “A sower went out to sow 17  his seed. 18  And as he sowed, some fell along the path and was trampled on, and the wild birds 19  devoured it. 8:6 Other seed fell on rock, 20  and when it came up, it withered because it had no moisture. 8:7 Other seed fell among the thorns, 21  and they grew up with it and choked 22  it. 8:8 But 23  other seed fell on good soil and grew, 24  and it produced a hundred times as much grain.” 25  As he said this, 26  he called out, “The one who has ears to hear had better listen!” 27 

8:9 Then 28  his disciples asked him what this parable meant. 29  8:10 He 30  said, “You have been given 31  the opportunity to know 32  the secrets 33  of the kingdom of God, 34  but for others they are in parables, so that although they see they may not see, and although they hear they may not understand. 35 

8:11 “Now the parable means 36  this: The seed is the word of God. 8:12 Those along the path are the ones who have heard; then the devil 37  comes and takes away the word 38  from their hearts, so that they may not believe 39  and be saved. 8:13 Those 40  on the rock are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, 41  but 42  in a time of testing 43  fall away. 44  8:14 As for the seed that 45  fell among thorns, these are the ones who hear, but 46  as they go on their way they are choked 47  by the worries and riches and pleasures of life, 48  and their fruit does not mature. 49  8:15 But as for the seed that landed on good soil, these are the ones who, after hearing 50  the word, cling to it 51  with an honest and good 52  heart, and bear fruit with steadfast endurance. 53 

Showing the Light

8:16 “No one lights 54  a lamp 55  and then covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a lampstand so that those who come in can see the light. 56  8:17 For nothing is hidden 57  that will not be revealed, 58  and nothing concealed that will not be made known and brought to light. 8:18 So listen carefully, 59  for whoever has will be given more, but 60  whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has 61  will be taken from him.”

Jesus’ True Family

8:19 Now Jesus’ 62  mother and his brothers 63  came to him, but 64  they could not get near him because of the crowd. 8:20 So 65  he was told, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.” 8:21 But he replied 66  to them, “My mother and my brothers are those 67  who hear the word of God and do it.” 68 

Stilling of a Storm

8:22 One 69  day Jesus 70  got into a boat 71  with his disciples and said to them, “Let’s go across to the other side of the lake.” So 72  they set out, 8:23 and as they sailed he fell asleep. Now a violent windstorm 73  came down on the lake, 74  and the boat 75  started filling up with water, and they were in danger. 8:24 They 76  came 77  and woke him, saying, “Master, Master, 78  we are about to die!” So 79  he got up and rebuked 80  the wind and the raging waves; 81  they died down, and it was calm. 8:25 Then 82  he said to them, “Where is your faith?” 83  But they were afraid and amazed, 84  saying to one another, “Who then is this? He commands even the winds and the water, 85  and they obey him!”

Healing of a Demoniac

8:26 So 86  they sailed over to the region of the Gerasenes, 87  which is opposite 88  Galilee. 8:27 As 89  Jesus 90  stepped ashore, 91  a certain man from the town 92  met him who was possessed by demons. 93  For a long time this man 94  had worn no clothes and had not lived in a house, but among 95  the tombs. 8:28 When he saw 96  Jesus, he cried out, fell 97  down before him, and shouted with a loud voice, “Leave me alone, 98  Jesus, Son of the Most High 99  God! I beg you, do not torment 100  me!” 8:29 For Jesus 101  had started commanding 102  the evil 103  spirit to come out of the man. (For it had seized him many times, so 104  he would be bound with chains and shackles 105  and kept under guard. But 106  he would break the restraints and be driven by the demon into deserted 107  places.) 108  8:30 Jesus then 109  asked him, “What is your name?” He 110  said, “Legion,” 111  because many demons had entered him. 8:31 And they began to beg 112  him not to order 113  them to depart into the abyss. 114  8:32 Now a large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside, 115  and the demonic spirits 116  begged Jesus 117  to let them go into them. He gave them permission. 118  8:33 So 119  the demons came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd of pigs 120  rushed down the steep slope into the lake and drowned. 8:34 When 121  the herdsmen saw what had happened, they ran off and spread the news 122  in the town 123  and countryside. 8:35 So 124  the people went out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus. They 125  found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid. 8:36 Those 126  who had seen it told them how the man who had been demon-possessed had been healed. 127  8:37 Then 128  all the people of the Gerasenes 129  and the surrounding region 130  asked Jesus 131  to leave them alone, 132  for they were seized with great fear. 133  So 134  he got into the boat and left. 135  8:38 The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go 136  with him, but Jesus 137  sent him away, saying, 8:39 “Return to your home, 138  and declare 139  what God has done for you.” 140  So 141  he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole town 142  what Jesus 143  had done for him.

Restoration and Healing

8:40 Now when Jesus returned, 144  the crowd welcomed him, because they were all waiting for him. 8:41 Then 145  a man named Jairus, who was a ruler 146  of the synagogue, 147  came up. Falling 148  at Jesus’ feet, he pleaded 149  with him to come to his house, 8:42 because he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. 150 

As Jesus was on his way, the crowds pressed 151  around him. 8:43 Now 152  a woman was there who had been suffering from a hemorrhage 153  for twelve years 154  but could not be healed by anyone. 8:44 She 155  came up behind Jesus 156  and touched the edge 157  of his cloak, 158  and at once the bleeding 159  stopped. 8:45 Then 160  Jesus asked, 161  “Who was it who touched me?” When they all denied it, Peter 162  said, “Master, the crowds are surrounding you and pressing 163  against you!” 8:46 But Jesus said, “Someone touched me, for I know that power has gone out 164  from me.” 8:47 When 165  the woman saw that she could not escape notice, 166  she came trembling and fell down before him. In 167  the presence of all the people, she explained why 168  she had touched him and how she had been immediately healed. 8:48 Then 169  he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. 170  Go in peace.”

8:49 While he was still speaking, someone from the synagogue ruler’s 171  house came and said, “Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the teacher any longer.” 8:50 But when Jesus heard this, he told 172  him, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.” 173  8:51 Now when he came to the house, Jesus 174  did not let anyone go in with him except Peter, John, 175  and James, and the child’s father and mother. 8:52 Now they were all 176  wailing and mourning 177  for her, but he said, “Stop your weeping; she is not dead but asleep.” 8:53 And they began making fun 178  of him, because they knew 179  that she was dead. 180  8:54 But Jesus 181  gently took her by the hand and said, 182  “Child, get up.” 8:55 Her 183  spirit returned, 184  and she got up immediately. Then 185  he told them to give her something to eat. 8:56 Her 186  parents were astonished, but he ordered them to tell no one 187  what had happened.

[8:1]  1 tn Grk “And it happened that some time.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[8:1]  2 tn Καθεξῆς (Kaqexh") is a general temporal term and need not mean “soon afterward”; see Luke 1:3; Acts 3:24; 11:4; 18:23 and L&N 61.1.

[8:1]  3 tn Or “cities.”

[8:1]  4 sn The combination of preaching and proclaiming the good news is a bit emphatic, stressing Jesus’ teaching ministry on the rule of God.

[8:1]  5 sn The kingdom of God is a major theme of Jesus. It is a realm in which Jesus rules and to which those who trust him belong. See Luke 6:20; 11:20; 17:20-21.

[8:1]  6 tn Grk “And the.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[8:2]  7 sn There is an important respect shown to women in this text, as their contributions were often ignored in ancient society.

[8:2]  8 tn Or “illnesses.” The term ἀσθένεια (asqeneia) refers to the state of being ill and thus incapacitated in some way – “illness, disability, weakness.” (L&N 23.143).

[8:2]  9 sn This Mary is not the woman mentioned in the previous passage (as some church fathers claimed), because she is introduced as a new figure here. In addition, she is further specified by Luke with the notation called Magdalene, which seems to distinguish her from the woman at Simon the Pharisee’s house.

[8:3]  10 sn Cuza is also spelled “Chuza” in many English translations.

[8:3]  11 sn Herods refers here to Herod Antipas. See the note on Herod Antipas in 3:1.

[8:3]  12 tn Here ἐπίτροπος (epitropo") is understood as referring to the majordomo or manager of Herod’s household (BDAG 385 s.v. ἐπίτροπος 1). However, as BDAG notes, the office may be political in nature and would then be translated something like “governor” or “procurator.” Note that in either case the gospel was reaching into the highest levels of society.

[8:3]  13 tc Many mss (א A L Ψ Ë1 33 565 579 1241 2542 pm it co) read “for him,” but “for them” also has good ms support (B D K W Γ Δ Θ Ë13 700 892 1424 pm lat). From an internal standpoint the singular pronoun looks like an assimilation to texts like Matt 27:55 and Mark 15:41.

[8:4]  14 tn Grk “to him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:4]  15 tn This phrase renders a distributive use of κατά (kata) with πόλις (polis), literally “according to [each] town.”

[8:4]  16 tn The words “to them” do not appear in the Greek text but are supplied in the translation for clarity.

[8:5]  17 sn A sower went out to sow. The background for this well-known parable is a field through which a well-worn path runs in the Palestinian countryside. Sowing would occur in late fall or early winter (October to December) in the rainy season, looking for sprouting in April or May and a June harvest. The use of seed as a figure for God’s giving life has OT roots: Isa 55:10-11.

[8:5]  18 tn Luke’s version of the parable, like Mark’s (cf. Mark 4:1-9) uses the collective singular to refer to the seed throughout, so singular pronouns have been used consistently throughout this parable in the English translation. However, the parallel account in Matt 13:1-9 begins with plural pronouns in v. 4 but then switches to the collective singular in v. 5 ff.

[8:5]  19 tn Grk “the birds of the sky” or “the birds of the heaven”; the Greek word οὐρανός (ouranos) may be translated either “sky” or “heaven,” depending on the context. The idiomatic expression “birds of the sky” refers to wild birds as opposed to domesticated fowl (cf. BDAG 809 s.v. πετεινόν).

[8:6]  20 sn The rock in Palestine would be a limestone base lying right under the soil.

[8:7]  21 sn Palestinian weeds like these thorns could grow up to six feet in height and have a major root system.

[8:7]  22 sn That is, crowded out the good plants.

[8:8]  23 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in the final stage of the parable.

[8:8]  24 tn Grk “when it grew, after it grew.”

[8:8]  25 sn Unlike the parallel accounts in Matt 13:8 and Mark 4:8, there is no distinction in yield in this version of the parable.

[8:8]  26 tn Grk “said these things.”

[8:8]  27 tn The translation “had better listen!” captures the force of the third person imperative more effectively than the traditional “let him hear,” which sounds more like a permissive than an imperative to the modern English reader. This was Jesus’ common expression to listen and heed carefully (cf. Matt 11:15; 13:9, 43; Mark 4:9, 23; Luke 14:35).

[8:9]  28 tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[8:9]  29 tn Grk “what this parable might be” (an optative after a secondary tense, in keeping with good Koine style).

[8:10]  30 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[8:10]  31 tn This is an example of a so-called “divine passive,” with God understood to be the source of the revelation (see ExSyn 437-38).

[8:10]  32 tn Grk “it has been given to you to know.” The dative pronoun occurs first, in emphatic position in the Greek text, although this position is awkward in contemporary English.

[8:10]  33 tn Grk “the mysteries.”

[8:10]  sn The key term secrets (μυστήριον, musthrion) can mean either (1) a new revelation or (2) a revealing interpretation of existing revelation as in Dan 2:17-23, 27-30. Jesus seems to be explaining how current events develop old promises, since the NT consistently links the events of Jesus’ ministry and message with old promises (Rom 1:1-4; Heb 1:1-2). The traditional translation of this word, “mystery,” is misleading to the modern English reader because this English word suggests a secret which people have tried to uncover but which they have failed to understand (L&N 28.77).

[8:10]  34 sn The kingdom of God is a major theme of Jesus. It is a realm in which Jesus rules and to which those who trust him belong. See Luke 6:20; 11:20; 17:20-21.

[8:10]  35 sn A quotation from Isa 6:9. Thus parables both conceal or reveal depending on whether one is open to hearing what they teach.

[8:11]  36 tn Grk “is,” but in this context it is clearly giving an explanation of the parable.

[8:12]  37 sn Interestingly, the synoptic parallels each use a different word for the devil here: Matt 13:19 has “the evil one,” while Mark 4:15 has “Satan.” This illustrates the fluidity of the gospel tradition in often using synonyms at the same point of the parallel tradition.

[8:12]  38 sn The word of Jesus has the potential to save if it germinates in a person’s heart, something the devil is very much against.

[8:12]  39 tn The participle πιστεύσαντες (pisteusante") has been translated as a finite verb here. It may be regarded as an adverbial participle of attendant circumstance. From a logical standpoint the negative must govern both the participle and the finite verb.

[8:13]  40 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[8:13]  41 sn This time of temporary faith represented by the description believe for a while is presented rather tragically in the passage. The seed does not get a chance to do all it can.

[8:13]  42 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[8:13]  43 tn Traditionally, “temptation.” Such a translation puts the emphasis on temptation to sin rather than testing of faith, which is what the context seems to indicate.

[8:13]  44 sn Fall away. On the idea of falling away and the warnings against it, see 2 Tim 3:1; Heb 3:12; Jer 3:14; Dan 9:9.

[8:14]  45 tn Grk “What”; the referent (the seed) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:14]  46 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[8:14]  47 sn That is, their concern for spiritual things is crowded out by material things.

[8:14]  48 sn On warnings about the dangers of excessive material attachments, described here as the worries and riches and pleasures of life, see Luke 12:12-21; 16:19-31.

[8:14]  49 tn The verb τελεσφορέω (telesforew) means “to produce mature or ripe fruit” (L&N 23.203). Once again the seed does not reach its goal.

[8:15]  50 tn The aorist participle ἀκούσαντες (akousante") has been taken temporally, reflecting action antecedent (prior to) that of the main verb.

[8:15]  51 sn There is a tenacity that is a part of spiritual fruitfulness.

[8:15]  52 sn In an ancient context, the qualifier good described the ethical person who possessed integrity. Here it is integrity concerning God’s revelation through Jesus.

[8:15]  53 sn Given the pressures noted in the previous soils, bearing fruit takes time (steadfast endurance), just as it does for the farmer. See Jas 1:2-4.

[8:16]  54 tn The participle ἅψας ({aya") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[8:16]  55 sn This is probably an ancient oil burning lamp or perhaps a candlestick. Jesus is comparing revelation to light, particularly the revelation of his ministry; see 1:78-79.

[8:16]  56 tn Or “its light,” if the Greek article is translated as a possessive pronoun (for such usage, cf. ExSyn 215).

[8:17]  57 sn Nothing is hidden. Light also exposes, and Jesus was suggesting that his teaching likewise revealed where people are and where they will be. Truth will be manifest in the future, just as it was declared by him then. Nothing will be concealed.

[8:17]  58 tn Or “disclosed.”

[8:18]  59 tn Or “Therefore pay close attention”; Grk “Take heed therefore how you hear.”

[8:18]  60 tn Grk “and.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[8:18]  61 sn The phrase what he thinks he has is important, because it is not what a person thinks he has that is important but whether he actually has something or not. Jesus describes the person who does not heed his word as having nothing. The person who has nothing loses even that which he thought was something but was not. In other words, he has absolutely nothing at all. Jesus’ teaching must be taken seriously.

[8:19]  62 tn Grk “his”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:19]  63 sn The issue of whether Jesus had brothers (siblings) has had a long history in the church. Epiphanius, in the 4th century, argued that Mary was a perpetual virgin and had no offspring other than Jesus. Others argued that these brothers were really cousins. Nothing in the text suggests any of this. See also John 7:3.

[8:19]  64 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[8:20]  65 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the sequence of events.

[8:21]  66 tn Grk “answering, he said.” This is redundant in contemporary English and has been simplified to “he replied.”

[8:21]  67 tn There is some discussion about the grammar of this verse in Greek. If “these” is the subject, then it reads, “These are my mother and brothers, those who.” If “these” is a nominative absolute, which is slightly more likely, then the verse more literally reads, “So my mother and brothers, they are those who.” The sense in either case is the same.

[8:21]  68 sn Hearing and doing the word of God is another important NT theme: Luke 6:47-49; Jas 1:22-25.

[8:22]  69 tn Grk “Now it happened that one.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated. Here δέ (de) has not been translated either.

[8:22]  70 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:22]  71 sn A boat that held all the disciples would be of significant size.

[8:22]  72 tn Grk “lake, and.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the response to Jesus’ request. In addition, because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[8:23]  73 tn Or “a squall.”

[8:23]  74 sn A violent windstorm came down on the lake. The Sea of Galilee is located in a depression some 700 ft (200 m) below sea level and is surrounded by hills. Frequently a rush of wind and the right mix of temperatures can cause a storm to come suddenly on the lake. Storms on the Sea of Galilee were known for their suddenness and violence.

[8:23]  75 tn Grk “they were being swamped,” but English idiom speaks of the boat being swamped rather than the people in it, so the referent (the boat) has been supplied to reflect this usage.

[8:24]  76 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[8:24]  77 tn The participle προσελθόντες (proselqonte") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[8:24]  78 tn The double vocative shows great emotion.

[8:24]  79 tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate the connection to the preceding events.

[8:24]  80 tn Or “commanded” (often with the implication of a threat, L&N 33.331).

[8:24]  81 sn Who has authority over the seas and winds is discussed in the OT: Ps 104:3; 135:7; 107:23-30. When Jesus rebuked the wind and the raging waves he was making a statement about who he was.

[8:25]  82 tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[8:25]  83 snWhere is your faith?” The call is to trust God and realize that those who exercise faith can trust in his care.

[8:25]  84 sn The combination of fear and respect (afraid and amazed) shows that the disciples are becoming impressed with the great power at work in Jesus, a realization that fuels their question. For a similar reaction, see Luke 5:9.

[8:25]  85 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.

[8:26]  86 tn Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate a summary and transition in the narrative.

[8:26]  87 tc The textual tradition here is quite complicated. Most mss, especially later ones (A W Ψ Ë13 Ï sy), read “Gadarenes,” which is the better reading in Matt 8:28. Some mss (א L Θ Ξ Ë1 33 579 700* 1241 pc) have “Gergesenes.” But early and important representatives of the Alexandrian and Western texttypes (Ì75 B D latt) have “Gerasenes,” the reading followed in the translation. The difference between Matthew and Luke may well have to do with uses of variant regional terms.

[8:26]  sn The region of the Gerasenes would be in Gentile territory on the (south)eastern side of the Sea of Galilee across from Galilee. Matthew 8:28 records this miracle as occurring “in the region of the Gadarenes.” “Irrespective of how one settles this issue, for the Third Evangelist the chief concern is that Jesus has crossed over into Gentile territory, ‘opposite Galilee’” (J. B. Green, Luke [NICNT], 337). The region of Gadara extended to the Sea of Galilee and included the town of Sennabris on the southern shore – the town that the herdsmen most likely entered after the drowning of the pigs.

[8:26]  88 sn That is, across the Sea of Galilee from Galilee.

[8:27]  89 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[8:27]  90 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:27]  91 tn Grk “stepped out on land.”

[8:27]  92 tn Or “city.”

[8:27]  93 tn Grk “who had demons.”

[8:27]  94 tn Grk “he”; the referent (the demon-possessed man) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:27]  95 tn Or “in.”

[8:28]  96 tn Grk “And seeing.” The participle ἰδών (idwn) has been taken temporally. Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[8:28]  97 tn Grk “and fell,” but καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

[8:28]  98 tn Grk “What to me and to you?” (an idiom). The phrase τί ἐμοὶ καὶ σοί (ti emoi kai soi) is Semitic in origin, though it made its way into colloquial Greek (BDAG 275 s.v. ἐγώ). The equivalent Hebrew expression in the OT had two basic meanings: (1) When one person was unjustly bothering another, the injured party could say “What to me and to you?” meaning, “What have I done to you that you should do this to me?” (Judg 11:12; 2 Chr 35:21; 1 Kgs 17:18). (2) When someone was asked to get involved in a matter he felt was no business of his own, he could say to the one asking him, “What to me and to you?” meaning, “That is your business, how am I involved?” (2 Kgs 3:13; Hos 14:8). These nuances were apparently expanded in Greek, but the basic notions of defensive hostility (option 1) and indifference or disengagement (option 2) are still present. BDAG suggests the following as glosses for this expression: What have I to do with you? What have we in common? Leave me alone! Never mind! Hostility between Jesus and the demons is certainly to be understood in this context, hence the translation: “Leave me alone….”

[8:28]  99 sn On the title Most High see Luke 1:35.

[8:28]  100 sn The demons’ plea “do not torment me” is a recognition of Jesus’ inherent authority over evil forces. The request is that Jesus not bother them. There was an appointed time in which demons would face their judgment, and they seem to have viewed Jesus’ arrival on the scene as an illegitimate change in God’s plan regarding the time when their sentence would be executed.

[8:29]  101 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:29]  102 tc ‡ Although the external evidence favors the aorist παρήγγειλεν (parhngeilen, “he commanded”; Ì75 B Θ Ξ Ψ Ë13 579 700 1241 1424 2542 pm), the internal evidence favors the imperfect παρήγγελλεν (parhngellen, here translated “he had started commanding”; א A C K L W Γ Δ 1 33 565 892 pm). The aorist is suspect because it can more easily be taken as a single command, and thus an immediate exorcism. The imperfect would most likely be ingressive (BDF §§328; 329; 331), suggesting that Jesus started to command the evil spirit to depart, and continued the command.

[8:29]  103 tn Grk “unclean.”

[8:29]  104 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so,” introducing a clause that gives the result of the man being seized by the demon.

[8:29]  105 tn Or “fetters”; these were chains for the feet.

[8:29]  106 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[8:29]  107 tn Grk “into the deserts.” The plural use here has been translated as “deserted places,” that is, uninhabited areas.

[8:29]  108 sn This is a parenthetical, explanatory comment by the author.

[8:30]  109 tn Grk “And Jesus.” Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to pick up the sequence of the narrative prior to the parenthetical note by the author.

[8:30]  110 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[8:30]  111 sn The name Legion means “thousands,” a word taken from a Latin term for a large group of soldiers. The term not only suggests a multiple possession, but also adds a military feel to the account. This is a true battle.

[8:31]  112 tn One could also translate the imperfect tense here with a repetitive force like “begged him repeatedly.”

[8:31]  113 tn Or “command.”

[8:31]  114 tn This word, ἄβυσσος (abusso"), is a term for the place where the dead await the judgment. It also could hold hostile spirits according to Jewish belief (Jub. 5:6-7; 1 En. 10:4-6; 18:11-16).

[8:32]  115 tn Grk “mountain,” but this might give the English reader the impression of a far higher summit.

[8:32]  116 tn Grk “they”; the referent (the demonic spirits) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:32]  117 tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:32]  118 sn Many have discussed why Jesus gave them permission, since the animals were destroyed. However, this is another example of a miracle that is a visual lesson. The demons are destructive: They were destroying the man. They destroyed the pigs. They destroy whatever they touch. The point was to take demonic influence seriously, as well as Jesus’ power over it as a picture of the larger battle for human souls. There would be no doubt how the man’s transformation had taken place.

[8:33]  119 tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate a conclusion and transition in the narrative.

[8:33]  120 tn The words “of pigs” are supplied because of the following verb in English, “were drowned,” which is plural.

[8:34]  121 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[8:34]  122 tn Or “reported it.” This verb is used three times in the next few verses (vv. 36, 37), showing how the healing became a major topic of conversation in the district.

[8:34]  123 tn Or “city.”

[8:35]  124 tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate the people’s response to the report.

[8:35]  125 tn Grk “Jesus, and they.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[8:36]  126 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[8:36]  127 tn Or “had been delivered”; Grk “had been saved.” This should not be understood as an expression for full salvation. They were only discussing the healing.

[8:37]  128 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[8:37]  129 tc See the tc note on “Gerasenes” in v. 26 for the same geographical options for the textual variants.

[8:37]  130 tn Grk “all the people of the surrounding region of the Gerasenes,” but according to L&N 1.80, “περίχωρος may include not only the surrounding region but also the point of reference, for example…‘the Gerasenes and the people living around them’ Lk 8:37.”

[8:37]  131 tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:37]  132 tn Or “to depart from them.”

[8:37]  133 sn Again there is great fear at God’s activity, but there is a different reaction. Some people want nothing to do with God’s presence. Mark 5:16 hints that economic reasons motivated their request.

[8:37]  134 tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate that Jesus’ departure was the result of the Gerasenes’ response. A new sentence was started in the translation at this point for stylistic reasons.

[8:37]  135 tn Grk “returned,” but the effect is that he departed from the Gerasene region.

[8:38]  136 tn Grk “be,” that is, “remain.” In this context that would involve accompanying Jesus as he went on his way.

[8:38]  137 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:39]  138 tn Grk “your house.”

[8:39]  139 tn Or “describe.”

[8:39]  140 sn 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.

[8:39]  141 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the man’s response to Jesus’ instructions.

[8:39]  142 tn Or “city.”

[8:39]  143 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.

[8:40]  144 tn This is a temporal infinitival clause in contrast to Mark’s genitive absolute (Mark 5:21).

[8:40]  sn Here the author notes that Jesus returned to the western shore of the Sea of Galilee after his brief excursion into Gentile territory (8:26-39; cf. also Mark 5:21).

[8:41]  145 tn Grk “And behold.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative. The Greek word ἰδού (idou) at the beginning of this statement has not been translated because it has no exact English equivalent here, but adds interest and emphasis (BDAG 468 s.v. 1).

[8:41]  146 tn Jairus is described as ἄρχων τῆς συναγωγῆς (arcwn th" sunagwghs), the main elder at the synagogue who was in charge of organizing the services.

[8:41]  147 sn See the note on synagogues in 4:15.

[8:41]  148 tn Grk “and falling.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started in the translation at this point.

[8:41]  149 tn This verb is an imperfect tense, commonly used by Luke for vividness.

[8:42]  150 tn This imperfect verb could be understood ingressively: “she was beginning to die” or “was approaching death.”

[8:42]  151 sn Pressed is a very emphatic term – the crowds were pressing in so hard that one could hardly breathe (L&N 19.48).

[8:43]  152 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.

[8:43]  153 tn Grk “a flow of blood.”

[8:43]  154 tc ‡ Most mss, including the majority of later mss (א[* C] A L W Θ Ξ [Ψ] Ë1,13 33 [1424] Ï [lat syc,p,h]) read here, “having spent all her money on doctors.” Uncertainty over its authenticity is due primarily to the fact that certain important witnesses do not have the phrase (e.g., Ì75 B [D] 0279 sys sa Or). This evidence alone renders its authenticity unlikely. It may have been intentionally added by later scribes in order to harmonize Luke’s account with similar material in Mark 5:26 (see TCGNT 121). NA27 includes the words in brackets, indicating doubt as to their authenticity.

[8:44]  155 tn Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[8:44]  156 tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:44]  157 sn The edge of his cloak refers to the kraspedon, the blue tassel on the garment that symbolized a Jewish man’s obedience to the law (cf. Num 15:37-41). The woman thus touched the very part of Jesus’ clothing that indicated his ritual purity.

[8:44]  158 tn Grk “garment,” but here ἱμάτιον (Jimation) denotes the outer garment in particular.

[8:44]  159 tn Grk “the flow of her blood.”

[8:44]  sn The woman was most likely suffering from a vaginal hemorrhage, in which case her bleeding would make her ritually unclean.

[8:45]  160 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[8:45]  161 tn Grk “said.”

[8:45]  162 tc Most mss, especially the later ones (א A C*,3 D L W Θ Ξ Ψ Ë1,13 33 Ï latt), also have “and those together with him” (with two different Greek constructions for the phrase “with him”), while several important witnesses omit this phrase (Ì75 B Π 700* al sa). The singular verb εἶπεν (eipen, “he said”) could possibly suggest that only Peter was originally mentioned, but, if the longer reading is authentic, then εἶπεν would focus on Peter as the spokesman for the group, highlighting his prominence (cf. ExSyn 401-2). Nevertheless, the longer reading looks like a clarifying note, harmonizing this account with Mark 5:31.

[8:45]  163 sn Pressing is a graphic term used in everyday Greek of pressing grapes. Peter says in effect, “How could you ask this? Everyone is touching you!”

[8:46]  164 tn This is a consummative perfect. Jesus sensed that someone had approached him to be healed, as his reference to power makes clear. The perception underlies Jesus’ prophetic sense as well.

[8:47]  165 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[8:47]  166 tn Or “could not remain unnoticed” (see L&N 28.83).

[8:47]  167 tn Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation. The order of the clauses in the remainder of the verse has been rearranged to reflect contemporary English style.

[8:47]  168 tn Grk “told for what reason.”

[8:48]  169 tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[8:48]  170 tn Or “has delivered you”; Grk “has saved you.” This should not be understood as an expression for full salvation in the immediate context; it refers only to the woman’s healing.

[8:49]  171 tn That is, “the official in charge of the synagogue”; ἀρχισυνάγωγος (arcisunagwgo") refers to the “president of a synagogue” (so BDAG 139 s.v. and L&N 53.93). In this case the referent is Jairus (v. 41).

[8:50]  172 tn Grk “answered.”

[8:50]  173 tn Or “will be delivered”; Grk “will be saved.” This should not be understood as an expression for full salvation in the immediate context; it refers only to the girl’s healing.

[8:51]  174 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:51]  175 tn Grk “and John,” but καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

[8:52]  176 sn This group probably includes outside or even professional mourners, not just family, because a large group seems to be present.

[8:52]  177 tn Grk “beating the breasts” (in mourning); see L&N 52.1.

[8:53]  178 tn This imperfect verb has been translated as an ingressive imperfect.

[8:53]  179 tn The participle εἰδότες (eidotes) has been translated as a causal adverbial participle.

[8:53]  180 tn Or “had died.”

[8:54]  181 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:54]  182 tn Grk “and called, saying.” This is redundant in contemporary English and has been simplified in the translation to “and said.”

[8:55]  183 tn Grk “And her.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[8:55]  184 sn In other words, she came back to life; see Acts 20:10.

[8:55]  185 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[8:56]  186 tn Grk “And her.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[8:56]  187 sn Jesus ordered them to tell no one because he desired that miracles not become the center of his ministry.
