Luke 4:39

4:39 So ¹  he stood over her, commanded ²  the fever, and it left her. Immediately ³  she got up and began to serve ⁴  them.

Luke 15:27

15:27 The slave replied, ⁵  ‘Your brother has returned, and your father has killed the fattened calf ⁶  because he got his son ⁷  back safe and sound.’

Luke 24:12

24:12 But Peter got up and ran to the tomb. ⁸  He bent down ⁹  and saw only the strips of linen cloth; ¹⁰  then he went home, ¹¹  wondering ¹²  what had happened. ¹³ 

Luke 24:33

24:33 So ¹⁴  they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem. ¹⁵  They ¹⁶  found the eleven and those with them gathered together

¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the resultative nature of Jesus’ actions.

² tn Or “rebuked,” but “rebuke” implies strong disapproval, while the usage here involves more of a command with perhaps the implication of a threat (L&N 33.331).

sn The language here (commanded) almost treats the illness as a personal force (see vv. 35, 41), but this is not the case. This healing shows Jesus’ power over sickness and should not be construed as an exorcism.

³ tn Grk “and immediately.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, δέ (de) has not been translated here. Instead a new sentence is started in the translation.

sn The note that this happened immediately shows the speed and totality of the recovery.

⁴ tn The imperfect verb has been translated ingressively.

⁵ tn Grk “And he said to him.” Here δέ (de) has not been translated. The rest of the phrase has been simplified to “the slave replied,” with the referent (the slave) specified in the translation for clarity.

⁶ tn See note on the phrase “fattened calf” in v. 23.

⁷ tn Grk “him”; the referent (the younger son) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁸ sn While the others dismissed the report of the women, Peter got up and ran to the tomb, for he had learned to believe in what the Lord had said.

⁹ sn In most instances the entrance to such tombs was less than 3 ft (1 m) high, so that an adult would have to bend down and practically crawl inside.

¹⁰ tn In the NT this term is used only for strips of cloth used to wrap a body for burial (LN 6.154; BDAG 693 s.v. ὀθόνιον).

¹¹ tn Or “went away, wondering to himself.” The prepositional phrase πρὸς ἑαυτόν (pros Jeauton) can be understood with the preceding verb ἀπῆλθεν (aphlqen) or with the following participle θαυμάζων (qaumazwn), but it more likely belongs with the former (cf. John 20:10, where the phrase can only refer to the verb).

¹² sn Peter’s wondering was not a lack of faith, but struggling in an attempt to understand what could have happened.

¹³ tc Some Western mss (D it) lack 24:12. The verse has been called a Western noninterpolation, meaning that it reflects a shorter authentic reading in D and other Western witnesses. Many regard all such shorter readings as original (the verse is omitted in the RSV), but the ms evidence for omission is far too slight for the verse to be rejected as secondary. It is included in Ì⁷⁵ and the rest of the ms tradition.

¹⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the Lord’s appearance to them.

¹⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
