¹ tn Grk “Thus.”

² tn Grk “in the days.”

³ tn Grk “has looked on me” (an idiom for taking favorable notice of someone).

⁴ sn Barrenness was often seen as a reproach or disgrace (Lev 20:20-21; Jer 22:30), but now at her late age (the exact age is never given in Luke’s account), God had miraculously removed it (see also Luke 1:7).

⁵ tn Grk “among men”; but the context clearly indicates a generic use of ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") here.

⁶ tn Grk “And the.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

⁷ tn Grk “the”; in context the article is used as a possessive pronoun (ExSyn 215).

⁸ tn L&N 57.19 notes that in nonbiblical contexts in which the word οὐσία (ousia) occurs, it refers to considerable possessions or wealth, thus “estate.”

⁹ tn L&N 57.3, “to belong to or come to belong to, with the possible implication of by right or by inheritance.”

¹⁰ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate the father’s response to the younger son’s request.

¹¹ tn Grk “the”; in context the article is used as a possessive pronoun (ExSyn 215).

¹² sn He divided his assets between them. There was advice against doing this in the OT Apocrypha (Sir 33:20). The younger son would get half of what the older son received (Deut 21:17).

¹³ tn Grk “to rule over them.”

¹⁴ tn This term, when used of people rather than animals, has some connotations of violence and mercilessness (L&N 20.72).

¹⁵ sn Slaughter them. To reject the king is to face certain judgment from him.

¹⁶ sn This scripture must be fulfilled in me. The statement again reflects the divine necessity of God’s plan. See 4:43-44.

¹⁷ tn Or “with the lawless.”

sn This is a quotation from Isa 53:12. It highlights a theme of Luke 22-23. Though completely innocent, Jesus dies as if he were a criminal.

¹⁸ tn Grk “is having its fulfillment.”

¹⁹ tn Grk “that it is I myself.”

²⁰ tn See tc note on “ghost” in v. 37.
