Lukas 10:8

10:8 Whenever ¹  you enter a town ²  and the people ³  welcome you, eat what is set before you.

Lukas 13:26

13:26 Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’ ⁴ 

Lukas 15:2

15:2 But ⁵  the Pharisees ⁶  and the experts in the law ⁷  were complaining, ⁸  “This man welcomes ⁹  sinners and eats with them.”

[10:8]  ¹ tn Grk “And whatever town you enter,” but this is more often expressed in English as “whenever you enter a town.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[10:8]  ² tn Or “city.” Jesus now speaks of the town as a whole, as he will in vv. 10-12.

[10:8]  ³ tn Grk “and they”; the referent (the people who live in the town) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[13:26]  ⁴ sn This term refers to wide streets, and thus suggests the major streets of a city.

[15:2]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[15:2]  ⁶ sn See the note on Pharisees in 5:17.

[15:2]  ⁷ tn Or “and the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 5:21.

[15:2]  ⁸ tn Or “grumbling”; Grk “were complaining, saying.” The participle λέγοντες (legontes) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[15:2]  ⁹ tn Or “accepts,” “receives.” This is not the first time this issue has been raised: Luke 5:27-32; 7:37-50.
