Luke 7:6

7:6 So 1  Jesus went with them. When 2  he was not far from the house, the centurion 3  sent friends to say to him, “Lord, do not trouble yourself, 4  for I am not worthy 5  to have you come under my roof.

Luke 17:9

17:9 He won’t thank the slave because he did what he was told, 6  will he? 7 

1 tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate the resultative action.

2 tn The participle ἀπέχοντος (apeconto") has been taken temporally.

3 sn See the note on the word centurion in 7:2.

4 tn Or “do not be bothered.”

5 sn Note the humility in the centurion’s statement I am not worthy in light of what others think (as v. 4 notes). See Luke 5:8 for a similar example of humility.

6 tn Grk “did what was commanded.”

7 tn The Greek construction anticipates a negative reply which is indicated in the translation by the ‘tag’ at the end, “will he?” Thanks are not required.
