Lukas 7:22

7:22 So ¹  he answered them, ²  “Go tell ³  John what you have seen and heard: ⁴  The blind see, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the ⁵  deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have good news proclaimed to them.

Lukas 11:42

11:42 “But woe to you Pharisees! ⁶  You give a tenth ⁷  of your mint, ⁸  rue, ⁹  and every herb, yet you neglect justice ¹⁰  and love for God! But you should have done these things without neglecting the others. ¹¹ 

Lukas 24:44

Jesus’ Final Commission

24:44 Then ¹²  he said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me ¹³  in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms ¹⁴  must be fulfilled.”

[7:22]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the relationship to Jesus’ miraculous cures in the preceding sentence.

[7:22]  ² tn Grk “answering, he said to them.” This is redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation to “he answered them.”

[7:22]  ³ sn The same verb has been translated “inform” in 7:18.

[7:22]  ⁴ sn What you have seen and heard. The following activities all paraphrase various OT descriptions of the time of promised salvation: Isa 35:5-6; 26:19; 29:18-19; 61:1. Jesus is answering not by acknowledging a title, but by pointing to the nature of his works, thus indicating the nature of the time.

[7:22]  ⁵ tn Grk “and the,” but καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

[11:42]  ⁶ tn Grk “Woe to you…because you…” The causal particle ὅτι (Joti) has not been translated here for rhetorical effect (and so to the end of this chapter).

[11:42]  ⁷ tn Or “you tithe mint.”

[11:42]  ⁸ sn These small herbs were tithed with great care (Mishnah, m. Demai 2:1).

[11:42]  ⁹ tn Grk “and rue.” Καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

[11:42]  sn Rue was an evergreen herb used for seasoning.

[11:42]  ¹⁰ sn Justice was a major theme of OT ethics (Mic 6:8; Zech 7:8-10).

[11:42]  ¹¹ tn Grk “those”; but this has been translated as “the others” to clarify which are meant.

[24:44]  ¹² tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[24:44]  ¹³ sn Everything written about me. The divine plan, events, and scripture itself are seen here as being one.

[24:44]  ¹⁴ sn For a similar threefold division of the OT scriptures, see the prologue to Sirach, lines 8-10, and from Qumran, the epilogue to 4QMMT, line 10.
