Lukas 4:23

4:23 Jesus ¹  said to them, “No doubt you will quote to me the proverb, ‘Physician, heal yourself!’ ²  and say, ‘What we have heard that you did in Capernaum, ³  do here in your hometown too.’”

Lukas 11:46

11:46 But Jesus ⁴  replied, ⁵  “Woe to you experts in religious law as well! ⁶  You load people ⁷  down with burdens difficult to bear, yet you yourselves refuse to touch ⁸  the burdens with even one of your fingers!

Lukas 12:47

12:47 That ⁹  servant who knew his master’s will but did not get ready or do what his master asked ¹⁰  will receive a severe beating.

Lukas 19:22

19:22 The king ¹¹  said to him, ‘I will judge you by your own words, ¹²  you wicked slave! ¹³  So you knew, did you, that I was a severe ¹⁴  man, withdrawing what I didn’t deposit and reaping what I didn’t sow?

[4:23]  ¹ tn Grk “And he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity. Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[4:23]  ² sn The proverb Physician, heal yourself! means that Jesus should prove his claims. It is a “Prove it to us!” mentality that Jesus says the people have.

[4:23]  ³ sn The remark “What we have heard that you did at Capernaum” makes many suspect that Luke has moved this event forward in sequence to typify what Jesus’ ministry was like, since the ministry in Capernaum follows in vv. 31-44. The location of this event in the parallel of Mark 6:1-6 also suggests this transposition.

[11:46]  ⁴ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[11:46]  ⁵ tn Grk “said.”

[11:46]  ⁶ tn Here “as well” is used to translate καί (kai) at the beginning of the statement.

[11:46]  ⁷ tn Grk “men.” This is a generic use of ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo"), referring to both males and females.

[11:46]  ⁸ tn Grk “you yourselves do not touch.” This could mean one of two things: (1) Either they make others do what they themselves do not (through various technical exceptions) or (2) they make no effort to help the others fulfill what they are required to do. Considering the care these religious figures are said to have given to the law, the second option is more likely (see L&N 18.11).

[12:47]  ⁹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[12:47]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “or do according to his will”; the referent (the master) has been specified in the translation for clarity. This example deals with the slave who knew what the command was and yet failed to complete it.

[19:22]  ¹¹ tn Grk “He”; the referent (the nobleman of v. 12, now a king) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[19:22]  ¹² tn Grk “out of your own mouth” (an idiom).

[19:22]  ¹³ tn Note the contrast between this slave, described as “wicked,” and the slave in v. 17, described as “good.”

[19:22]  ¹⁴ tn Or “exacting,” “harsh,” “hard.”
