Luke 4:38

4:38 After Jesus left 1  the synagogue, he entered Simon’s house. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they asked Jesus 2  to help her. 3 

Luke 5:7

5:7 So 4  they motioned 5  to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both boats, so that they were about to sink. 6 

1 tn Grk “Arising from the synagogue, he entered.” The participle ἀναστάς (anastas) has been taken temporally here, and the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

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

3 tn Grk “they asked him about her.” It is clear from the context that they were concerned about her physical condition. The verb “to help” in the translation makes this explicit.

4 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate consequential nature of the action.

5 tn That is, “they signaled by making gestures” (L&N 33.485).

6 tn This infinitive conveys the idea that the boats were at the point of sinking.
