Lukas 4:27

4:27 And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha, ¹  yet ²  none of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian.” ³ 

Lukas 5:15

5:15 But the news about him spread even more, ⁴  and large crowds were gathering together to hear him ⁵  and to be healed of their illnesses.

[4:27]  ¹ sn On Elisha see 2 Kgs 5:1-14.

[4:27]  ² tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “yet” to indicate the contrast.

[4:27]  ³ sn The reference to Naaman the Syrian (see 2 Kgs 5:1-24) is another example where an outsider and Gentile was blessed. The stress in the example is the missed opportunity of the people to experience God’s work, but it will still go on without them.

[5:15]  ⁴ sn That is, in spite of Jesus’ instructions to the man to tell no one about the healing (v. 14).

[5:15]  ⁵ tn The word “him” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context.
