Lukas 13:14

13:14 But the president of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the crowd, “There are six days on which work ¹  should be done! ²  So come ³  and be healed on those days, and not on the Sabbath day.”

Lukas 14:10

14:10 But when you are invited, go and take the least important place, so that when your host ⁴  approaches he will say to you, ‘Friend, move up here to a better place.’ ⁵  Then you will be honored in the presence of all who share the meal with you.

Lukas 14:21

14:21 So ⁶  the slave came back and reported this to his master. Then the master of the household was furious ⁷  and said to his slave, ‘Go out quickly ⁸  to the streets and alleys of the city, ⁹  and bring in the poor, ¹⁰  the crippled, ¹¹  the blind, and the lame.’

[13:14]  ¹ sn The irony is that Jesus’ “work” consisted of merely touching the woman. There is no sense of joy that eighteen years of suffering was reversed with his touch.

[13:14]  ² tn Grk “on which it is necessary to work.” This has been simplified in the translation.

[13:14]  ³ tn The participle ἐρχόμενοι (ercomenoi) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[14:10]  ⁴ tn Grk “the one who invited you.”

[14:10]  ⁵ tn Grk “Go up higher.” This means to move to a more important place.

[14:21]  ⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the result of the preceding responses.

[14:21]  ⁷ tn Grk “being furious, said.” The participle ὀργισθείς (orgisqei") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[14:21]  ⁸ sn It was necessary to go out quickly because the banquet was already prepared. All the food would spoil if not eaten immediately.

[14:21]  ⁹ tn Or “town.”

[14:21]  ¹⁰ sn The poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame. Note how the list matches v. 13, illustrating that point. Note also how the party goes on; it is not postponed until a later date. Instead new guests are invited.

[14:21]  ¹¹ tn Grk “and the crippled.” Normally crippled as a result of being maimed or mutilated (L&N 23.177). Καί (kai) has not been translated here and before the following category (Grk “and the blind and the lame”) since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
