Luke 5:25

5:25 Immediately 1  he stood up before them, picked 2  up the stretcher 3  he had been lying on, and went home, glorifying 4  God.

Luke 9:17

9:17 They all ate and were satisfied, and what was left over 5  was picked up – twelve baskets of broken pieces.

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

2 tn Grk “and picked up.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because contemporary English normally places a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series.

3 tn Grk “picked up what he had been lying on”; the referent of the relative pronoun (the stretcher) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

4 sn Note the man’s response, glorifying God. Joy at God’s work is also a key theme in Luke: 2:20; 4:15; 5:26; 7:16; 13:13; 17:15; 18:43; 23:47.

5 sn There was more than enough for everybody, as indicated by the gathering of what was left over.
