Lukas 2:27

2:27 So ¹  Simeon, ²  directed by the Spirit, ³  came into the temple courts, ⁴  and when the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what was customary according to the law, ⁵ 

Lukas 13:17

13:17 When ⁶  he said this all his adversaries were humiliated, ⁷  but ⁸  the entire crowd was rejoicing at all the wonderful things ⁹  he was doing. ¹⁰ 

Lukas 16:2

16:2 So ¹¹  he called the manager ¹²  in and said to him, ‘What is this I hear about you? ¹³  Turn in the account of your administration, ¹⁴  because you can no longer be my manager.’

[2:27]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the consequential nature of the action.

[2:27]  ² tn Grk “he”; the referent (Simeon) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[2:27]  ³ tn Grk “So in the Spirit” or “So by the Spirit,” but since it refers to the Spirit’s direction the expanded translation “directed by the Spirit” is used here.

[2:27]  ⁴ tn Grk “the temple.”

[2:27]  sn The temple courts is a reference to the larger temple area, not the holy place. Simeon was either in the court of the Gentiles or the court of women, since Mary was present.

[2:27]  ⁵ tn Grk “to do for him according to the custom of the law.” See Luke 2:22-24.

[13:17]  ⁶ tn Grk “And when.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[13:17]  ⁷ tn Or “were put to shame.”

[13:17]  ⁸ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[13:17]  ⁹ sn Concerning all the wonderful things see Luke 7:16; 19:37.

[13:17]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “that were being done by him.” The passive has been converted to an active construction in the translation.

[16:2]  ¹¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the result of the reports the man received about his manager.

[16:2]  ¹² tn Grk “him”; the referent (the manager) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[16:2]  ¹³ sn Although phrased as a question, the charges were believed by the owner, as his dismissal of the manager implies.

[16:2]  ¹⁴ tn Or “stewardship”; the Greek word οἰκονομία (oikonomia) is cognate with the noun for the manager (οἰκονόμος, oikonomo").
