Lukas 7:38

7:38 As ¹  she stood ²  behind him at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. She ³  wiped them with her hair, ⁴  kissed ⁵  them, ⁶  and anointed ⁷  them with the perfumed oil.

Lukas 15:22

15:22 But the father said to his slaves, ⁸  ‘Hurry! Bring the best robe, ⁹  and put it on him! Put a ring on his finger ¹⁰  and sandals ¹¹  on his feet!

Efesus 6:15

6:15 by fitting your ¹²  feet with the preparation that comes from the good news ¹³  of peace, ¹⁴ 

[7:38]  ¹ tn Grk “And standing.” 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.

[7:38]  ² tn Grk “standing”; the participle στᾶσα (stasa) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[7:38]  ³ tn Grk “tears, and she.” 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.

[7:38]  ⁶ tn Grk “kissed his feet,” but this has been replaced by the pronoun “them” in keeping with contemporary English style.

[7:38]  ⁷ sn The series of verbs in this verse detail the woman’s every move, much as if the onlookers were watching her every step.

[15:22]  ⁸ tn See the note on the word “slave” in 7:2.

[15:22]  ⁹ sn With the instructions Hurry! Bring the best robe, there is a total acceptance of the younger son back into the home.

[15:22]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “hand”; but χείρ (ceir) can refer to either the whole hand or any relevant part of it (L&N 8.30).

[15:22]  ¹¹ sn The need for sandals underlines the younger son’s previous destitution, because he was barefoot.

[6:15]  ¹² tn The definite article τοῖς (tois) was taken as a possessive pronoun, i.e., “your,” since it refers to a part of the physical body.

[6:15]  ¹³ tn Grk “gospel.” However, this is not a technical term here.

[6:15]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “in preparation of the gospel of peace.” The genitive τοῦ εὐαγγελίου (tou euangeliou) was taken as a genitive of source, i.e., “that comes from….”
