Lukas 8:38

8:38 The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go ¹  with him, but Jesus ²  sent him away, saying,

Lukas 24:32

24:32 They ³  said to each other, “Didn’t ⁴  our hearts ⁵  burn within us ⁶  while he was speaking with us on the road, while he was explaining ⁷  the scriptures to us?”

[8:38]  ¹ tn Grk “be,” that is, “remain.” In this context that would involve accompanying Jesus as he went on his way.

[8:38]  ² tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[24:32]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[24:32]  ⁴ tn This question uses a Greek particle (οὐχί, ouci) that expects a positive reply.

[24:32]  ⁵ tn This is a collective singular use of the term καρδία (kardia), so each of their hearts were burning, a reference itself to the intense emotion of their response.

[24:32]  ⁶ tc ‡ Most mss have the phrase ἐν ἡμῖν (en Jhmin, “within us”) after οὐχὶ ἡ καρδία ἡμῶν καιομένη ἦν (ouci Jh kardia Jhmwn kaiomenh hn, “Didn’t our hearts burn”). The phrase “within us” is lacking in some early mss (Ì⁷⁵ B D c e sy^s,c). These early witnesses could have overlooked the words, since there are several occurrences of ἡμῖν in the context. But it seems likely that other scribes wanted to clarify the abrupt expression “Didn’t our hearts burn,” even as the translation has done here. NA²⁷ includes the words in brackets, indicating doubts as to their authenticity.

[24:32]  sn Even though it is most likely not original (see tc note above), the phrase within us has been included in the translation for clarity.

[24:32]  ⁷ tn Grk “opening” (cf. Acts 17:3).
