Luke 5:31

5:31 Jesus 1  answered them, “Those who are well don’t need a physician, but those who are sick do. 2 

Luke 12:32

12:32 “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is well pleased 3  to give you the kingdom.

Luke 13:9

13:9 Then if 4  it bears fruit next year, 5  very well, 6  but if 7  not, you can cut it down.’”

Luke 17:19

17:19 Then 8  he said to the man, 9  “Get up and go your way. Your faith has made you well.” 10 

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

2 sn Jesus’ point is that he associates with those who are sick because they have the need and will respond to the offer of help. A person who is well (or who thinks mistakenly that he is) will not seek treatment.

3 tn Or perhaps, “your Father chooses.”

4 tn This is a third class condition in the Greek text. The conjunction καί (kai, a component of κάν [kan]) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

5 tn Grk “the coming [season].”

6 tn The phrase “very well” is supplied in the translation to complete the elided idea, but its absence is telling.

7 tn This is a first class condition in the Greek text, showing which of the options is assumed.

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

9 tn Grk “to him”; the referent has been specified in the translation for clarity.

10 tn Or “has delivered you”; Grk “has saved you.” The remark about faith suggests the benefit of trusting in Jesus’ ability to deliver. Apparently the Samaritan benefited from the healing in a way the other nine did not.
