Luke 8:35

8:35 So ¹  the people went out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus. They ²  found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid.

Luke 24:18

24:18 Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered him, ³  “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who doesn’t know ⁴  the things that have happened there ⁵  in these days?”

Luke 24:21

24:21 But we had hoped ⁶  that he was the one who was going to redeem ⁷  Israel. Not only this, but it is now the third day since these things happened.

¹ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate the people’s response to the report.

² tn Grk “Jesus, and they.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

³ tn Grk “answering him, said.” This is redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation.

⁴ sn There is irony and almost a sense of mocking disbelief as the question “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things that have happened there in these days?” comes to Jesus; but, of course, the readers know what the travelers do not.

⁵ tn Grk “in it” (referring to the city of Jerusalem).

⁶ tn The imperfect verb looks back to the view that they held during Jesus’ past ministry.

⁷ sn Their messianic hope concerning Jesus is expressed by the phrase who was going to redeem Israel.
