Lukas 8:34

8:34 When ¹  the herdsmen saw what had happened, they ran off and spread the news ²  in the town ³  and countryside.

Lukas 19:7

19:7 And when the people ⁴  saw it, they all complained, ⁵  “He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner.” ⁶ 

[8:34]  ¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[8:34]  ² tn Or “reported it.” This verb is used three times in the next few verses (vv. 36, 37), showing how the healing became a major topic of conversation in the district.

[8:34]  ³ tn Or “city.”

[19:7]  ⁴ tn Grk “they”; the referent is unspecified but is probably the crowd in general, who would have no great love for a man like Zacchaeus who had enriched himself many times over at their expense.

[19:7]  ⁵ tn This term is used only twice in the NT, both times in Luke (here and 15:2) and has negative connotations both times (BDAG 227 s.v. διαγογγύζω). The participle λέγοντες (legonte") is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[19:7]  ⁶ sn Being the guest of a man who is a sinner was a common complaint about Jesus: Luke 5:31-32; 7:37-50; 15:1-2.
