Lukas 5:31

5:31 Jesus ¹  answered them, “Those who are well don’t need a physician, but those who are sick do. ² 

Lukas 8:52

8:52 Now they were all ³  wailing and mourning ⁴  for her, but he said, “Stop your weeping; she is not dead but asleep.”

Lukas 14:13

14:13 But when you host an elaborate meal, ⁵  invite the poor, the crippled, ⁶  the lame, and ⁷  the blind. ⁸ 

[5:31]  ¹ tn Grk “And Jesus.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[5:31]  ² sn Jesus’ point is that he associates with those who are sick because they have the need and will respond to the offer of help. A person who is well (or who thinks mistakenly that he is) will not seek treatment.

[8:52]  ³ sn This group probably includes outside or even professional mourners, not just family, because a large group seems to be present.

[8:52]  ⁴ tn Grk “beating the breasts” (in mourning); see L&N 52.1.

[14:13]  ⁵ tn This term, δοχή (doch), is a third term for a meal (see v. 12) that could also be translated “banquet, feast.”

[14:13]  ⁶ sn Normally the term means crippled as a result of being maimed or mutilated (L&N 23.177).

[14:13]  ⁷ tn Here “and” has been supplied between the last two elements in the series in keeping with English style.

[14:13]  ⁸ sn This list of needy is like Luke 7:22. See Deut 14:28-29; 16:11-14; 26:11-13.
