Lukas 13:14

13:14 But the president of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the crowd, “There are six days on which work ¹  should be done! ²  So come ³  and be healed on those days, and not on the Sabbath day.”

Lukas 14:10

14:10 But when you are invited, go and take the least important place, so that when your host ⁴  approaches he will say to you, ‘Friend, move up here to a better place.’ ⁵  Then you will be honored in the presence of all who share the meal with you.

[13:14]  ¹ sn The irony is that Jesus’ “work” consisted of merely touching the woman. There is no sense of joy that eighteen years of suffering was reversed with his touch.

[13:14]  ² tn Grk “on which it is necessary to work.” This has been simplified in the translation.

[13:14]  ³ tn The participle ἐρχόμενοι (ercomenoi) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[14:10]  ⁴ tn Grk “the one who invited you.”

[14:10]  ⁵ tn Grk “Go up higher.” This means to move to a more important place.
