Lukas 9:36

9:36 After ¹  the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. So ²  they kept silent and told no one ³  at that time ⁴  anything of what they had seen.

Lukas 12:45

12:45 But if ⁵  that ⁶  slave should say to himself, ⁷  ‘My master is delayed ⁸  in returning,’ and he begins to beat ⁹  the other ¹⁰  slaves, both men and women, ¹¹  and to eat, drink, and get drunk,

Lukas 15:13

15:13 After ¹²  a few days, ¹³  the younger son gathered together all he had and left on a journey to a distant country, and there he squandered ¹⁴  his wealth ¹⁵  with a wild lifestyle.

[9:36]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[9:36]  ² tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the concluding summary of the account.

[9:36]  ³ sn Although the disciples told no one at the time, later they did recount this. The commentary on this scene is 2 Pet 1:17-18.

[9:36]  ⁴ tn Grk “in those days.”

[12:45]  ⁵ tn In the Greek text this is a third class condition that for all practical purposes is a hypothetical condition (note the translation of the following verb “should say”).

[12:45]  ⁶ tn The term “that” (ἐκεῖνος, ekeino") is used as a catchword to list out, in the form of a number of hypothetical circumstances, what the possible responses of “that” servant could be. He could be faithful (vv. 43-44) or totally unfaithful (vv. 45-46). He does not complete his master’s will with knowledge (v. 47) or from ignorance (v 48). These differences are indicated by the different levels of punishment in vv. 46-48.

[12:45]  ⁷ tn Grk “should say in his heart.”

[12:45]  ⁸ tn Or “is taking a long time.”

[12:45]  ⁹ sn The slave’s action in beginning to beat the other slaves was not only a failure to carry out what was commanded but involved doing the exact reverse.

[12:45]  ¹⁰ tn The word “other” is not in the Greek text, but is implied.

[12:45]  ¹¹ tn Grk “the menservants and the maidservants.” The term here, used in both masculine and feminine grammatical forms, is παῖς (pais), which can refer to a slave, but also to a slave who is a personal servant, and thus regarded kindly (L&N 87.77).

[15:13]  ¹² tn Grk “And after.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[15:13]  ¹³ tn Grk “after not many days.”

[15:13]  ¹⁴ tn Or “wasted.” This verb is graphic; it means to scatter (L&N 57.151).

[15:13]  ¹⁵ tn Or “estate” (the same word has been translated “estate” in v. 12).
