Luke 4:14

The Beginning of Jesus’ Ministry in Galilee

4:14 Then 1  Jesus, in the power of the Spirit, 2  returned to Galilee, and news about him spread 3  throughout the surrounding countryside. 4 

Luke 8:55

8:55 Her 5  spirit returned, 6  and she got up immediately. Then 7  he told them to give her something to eat.

1 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

2 sn Once again Jesus is directed by the Spirit. Luke makes a point about Jesus’ association with the Spirit early in his ministry (3:22, 4:1 [2x]; 4:18).

3 tn Grk “went out.”

4 tn Grk “all the surrounding region.”

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

6 sn In other words, she came back to life; see Acts 20:10.

7 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
