¹tn Grk “And when.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

²tn The word “him” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

³tn Grk “the word which had been spoken to them.”

⁴tn Grk “And when.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

⁵tn In context, this imperfect verb is best taken as an ingressive imperfect (BDF §338.1).

⁶tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the result of Jesus’ pronouncement.

⁷sn The expression left everything and followed him pictures discipleship, which means that to learn from Jesus is to follow him as the guiding priority of one’s life.

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

⁹tn Grk “After he had completed all his sayings in the hearing of the people.”

¹⁰sn Capernaum was a town on the northwest shore of the Sea of Galilee, 680 ft (204 m) below sea level. It was a major trade and economic center in the North Galilean region.

¹¹tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the summarization at the end of the account.

¹²tc Most mss, especially later ones (A C [D] Θ Ψ Ë¹³ 33 Ï), have “the sick slave” here instead of “the slave.” This brings out the contrast of the healing more clearly, but this reading looks secondary both internally (scribes tended toward clarification) and externally (the shorter reading is well supported by a variety of witnesses: Ì⁷⁵ א B L W Ë¹ 579 700 892* 1241 2542 it co).

¹³tn Grk “And her.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

¹⁴sn Jesus ordered them to tell no one because he desired that miracles not become the center of his ministry.

¹⁵tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

¹⁶tn This could mean “before [his disciples],” but that is slightly more awkward, requiring an elided element (the disciples) to be supplied.

¹⁷sn This is yet another travel note on the journey to Jerusalem. See also Luke 18:31; 19:11. Jesus does not actually enter Jerusalem until 19:45.

¹⁸tn Grk “sent ahead and went and found.”

¹⁹sn Exactly as he had told them. Nothing in Luke 19-23 catches Jesus by surprise. Often he directs the action.

²⁰sn The point is a dilemma. In a world arguing a person should have one wife, whose wife will she be in the afterlife? The question was designed to show that (in the opinion of the Sadducees) resurrection leads to a major problem.

²¹tn Grk “For the seven had her as wife.”

²²tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

²³sn Luke tells the story of the empty tomb with little drama. He simply notes that when they arrived the stone had been rolled away in a position where the tomb could be entered. This large stone was often placed in a channel so that it could be easily moved by rolling it aside. The other possibility is that it was merely placed over the opening in a position from which it had now been moved.

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

²⁵tc Some Western mss (D it) lack 24:40. However, it is present in all other mss, including Ì⁷⁵, and should thus be regarded as an original part of Luke’s Gospel.
