Lukas 1:73

1:73 the oath ¹  that he swore to our ancestor ²  Abraham.

This oath grants ³ 

Lukas 19:2

19:2 Now ⁴  a man named Zacchaeus was there; he was a chief tax collector ⁵  and was rich.

[1:73]  ¹ tn This is linked back grammatically by apposition to “covenant” in v. 72, specifying which covenant is meant.

[1:73]  ² tn Or “forefather”; Grk “father.”

[1:73]  ³ tn Again for reasons of English style, the infinitival clause “to grant us” has been translated “This oath grants” and made the beginning of a new sentence in the translation.

[19:2]  ⁴ tn Grk “And behold.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the introduction of a new character. The Greek word ἰδού (idou) at the beginning of this statement has not been translated because it has no exact English equivalent here, but adds interest and emphasis (BDAG 468 s.v. 1).

[19:2]  ⁵ sn This is the one place in the NT the office of chief tax collector is noted. He would organize the other tax collectors and collect healthy commissions (see also the note on the word tax collector in 3:12).
