Lukas 1:75

1:75 in holiness and righteousness ¹  before him for as long as we live. ² 

Lukas 13:10

Healing on the Sabbath

13:10 Now he was teaching in one of the synagogues ³  on the Sabbath,

Lukas 14:2

14:2 There ⁴  right ⁵  in front of him was a man suffering from dropsy. ⁶ 

[1:75]  ¹ sn The phrases that we…might serve him…in holiness and righteousness from Luke 1:74-75 well summarize a basic goal for a believer in the eyes of Luke. Salvation frees us up to serve God without fear through a life full of ethical integrity.

[1:75]  ² tn Grk “all our days.”

[13:10]  ³ sn See the note on synagogues in 4:15.

[14:2]  ⁴ tn Grk “And there.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[14:2]  ⁵ tn Grk “behold.” The Greek word ἰδού (idou) at the beginning of this statement adds interest and emphasis (BDAG 468 s.v. 1). Here it has been translated as “right” in the phrase “right in front of him,” giving a similar effect of vividness in the translation.

[14:2]  ⁶ sn The condition called dropsy involves swollen limbs resulting from the accumulation of fluid in the body’s tissues, especially the legs.
