Lukas 13:17

13:17 When ¹  he said this all his adversaries were humiliated, ²  but ³  the entire crowd was rejoicing at all the wonderful things ⁴  he was doing. ⁵ 

Lukas 15:7

15:7 I tell you, in the same way there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner ⁶  who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people ⁷  who have no need to repent. ⁸ 

[13:17]  ¹ tn Grk “And when.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[13:17]  ² tn Or “were put to shame.”

[13:17]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[13:17]  ⁴ sn Concerning all the wonderful things see Luke 7:16; 19:37.

[13:17]  ⁵ tn Grk “that were being done by him.” The passive has been converted to an active construction in the translation.

[15:7]  ⁶ sn There will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents. The pursuit of the sinner is a priority in spite of the presence of others who are doing well (see also Luke 5:32; 19:10). The theme of repentance, a major Lukan theme, is again emphasized.

[15:7]  ⁷ tn Here δικαίοις (dikaioi") is an adjective functioning substantivally and has been translated “righteous people.”

[15:7]  ⁸ tn Or “who do not need to repent”; Grk “who do not have need of repentance.”
