Lukas 10:11

10:11 ‘Even the dust of your town ¹  that clings to our feet we wipe off ²  against you. ³  Nevertheless know this: The kingdom of God has come.’ ⁴ 

Lukas 12:36

12:36 be like people ⁵  waiting for their master to come back from the wedding celebration, ⁶  so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him.

Lukas 15:9

15:9 Then ⁷  when she has found it, she calls together her ⁸  friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice ⁹  with me, for I have found the coin ¹⁰  that I had lost.’

[10:11]  ¹ tn Or “city.”

[10:11]  ² sn See Luke 9:5, where the verb is different but the meaning is the same. This was a sign of rejection.

[10:11]  ³ tn Here ὑμῖν (Jumin) has been translated as a dative of disadvantage.

[10:11]  ⁴ tn Or “has come near.” As in v. 9 (see above), the combination of ἐγγίζω (engizw) with the preposition ἐπί (epi) is decisive in showing that the sense is “has come” (see BDAG 270 s.v. ἐγγίζω 2, and W. R. Hutton, “The Kingdom of God Has Come,” ExpTim 64 [Dec 1952]: 89-91).

[12:36]  ⁵ tn That is, like slaves (who are mentioned later, vv. 37-38), although the term ἀνθρώποις (anqrwpoi") is used here. Since in this context it appears generic rather than gender-specific, the translation “people” is employed.

[12:36]  ⁶ sn An ancient wedding celebration could last for days (Tob 11:18).

[15:9]  ⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[15:9]  ⁸ tn Grk “the”; in context the article is used as a possessive pronoun (ExSyn 215).

[15:9]  ⁹ sn Rejoice. Besides the theme of pursuing the lost, the other theme of the parable is the joy of finding them.

[15:9]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “drachma.”
