Lukas 4:30

4:30 But he passed through the crowd ¹  and went on his way. ² 

Lukas 5:17

Healing and Forgiving a Paralytic

5:17 Now on ³  one of those days, while he was teaching, there were Pharisees ⁴  and teachers of the law ⁵  sitting nearby (who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem), ⁶  and the power of the Lord was with him ⁷  to heal.

Lukas 8:27

8:27 As ⁸  Jesus ⁹  stepped ashore, ¹⁰  a certain man from the town ¹¹  met him who was possessed by demons. ¹²  For a long time this man ¹³  had worn no clothes and had not lived in a house, but among ¹⁴  the tombs.

Lukas 12:33

12:33 Sell your possessions ¹⁵  and give to the poor. ¹⁶  Provide yourselves purses that do not wear out – a treasure in heaven ¹⁷  that never decreases, ¹⁸  where no thief approaches and no moth ¹⁹  destroys.

[4:30]  ¹ tn Grk “their midst.”

[4:30]  ² tn The verb πορεύομαι (poreuomai) in Luke often suggests divine direction, “to go in a led direction” (4:42; 7:6, 11; 9:51, 52, 56, 57; 13:33; 17:11; 22:22, 29; 24:28). It could suggest that Jesus is on a journey, a theme that definitely is present later in Luke 9-19.

[5:17]  ³ tn Grk “And it happened that on.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[5:17]  ⁴ sn Pharisees were members of one of the most important and influential religious and political parties of Judaism in the time of Jesus. There were more Pharisees than Sadducees (according to Josephus, Ant. 17.2.4 [17.42] there were more than 6,000 Pharisees at about this time). Pharisees differed with Sadducees on certain doctrines and patterns of behavior. The Pharisees were strict and zealous adherents to the laws of the OT and to numerous additional traditions such as angels and bodily resurrection.

[5:17]  ⁵ tn That is, those who were skilled in the teaching and interpretation of the OT law. These are called “experts in the law” (Grk “scribes”) in v. 21.

[5:17]  ⁶ sn Jesus was now attracting attention outside of Galilee as far away as Jerusalem, the main city of Israel.

[5:17]  ⁷ tc Most mss (A C D [K] Θ Ψ Ë^1,13 33 Ï latt bo) read αὐτούς (autous) instead of αὐτόν (auton) here. If original, this plural pronoun would act as the direct object of the infinitive ἰᾶσθαι (iasqai, “to heal”). However, the reading with the singular pronoun αὐτόν, which acts as the subject of the infinitive, is to be preferred. Externally, it has support from better mss (א B L W al sa). Internally, it is probable that scribes changed the singular αὐτόν to the plural αὐτούς, expecting the object of the infinitive to come at this point in the text. The singular as the harder reading accounts for the rise of the other reading.

[8:27]  ⁸ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[8:27]  ⁹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:27]  ¹⁴ tn Or “in.”

[12:33]  ¹⁵ sn The call to sell your possessions is a call to a lack of attachment to the earth and a generosity as a result.

[12:33]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “give alms,” but this term is not in common use today.

[12:33]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “in the heavens.”

[12:33]  ¹⁸ tn Or “an unfailing treasure in heaven,” or “an inexhaustible treasure in heaven.”

[12:33]  ¹⁹ tn The term σής (shs) refers to moths in general. It is specifically the larvae of moths that destroy clothing by eating holes in it (L&N 4.49; BDAG 922 s.v.). See Jas 5:2, which mentions “moth-eaten” clothing.
