Lukas 15:2

15:2 But ¹  the Pharisees ²  and the experts in the law ³  were complaining, ⁴  “This man welcomes ⁵  sinners and eats with them.”

Lukas 19:33

19:33 As ⁶  they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, ⁷  “Why are you untying that colt?”

Lukas 22:45

22:45 When ⁸  he got up from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping, exhausted ⁹  from grief.

[15:2]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

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

[15:2]  ³ tn Or “and the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 5:21.

[15:2]  ⁴ tn Or “grumbling”; Grk “were complaining, saying.” The participle λέγοντες (legontes) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

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

[19:33]  ⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[19:33]  ⁷ tn Grk “said to them.”

[22:45]  ⁸ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[22:45]  ⁹ tn Grk “from grief.” The word “exhausted” is not in the Greek text, but is implied; the disciples have fallen asleep from mental and emotional exhaustion resulting from their distress (see L&N 25.273; cf. TEV, NIV, NLT).
