Discovery BoxLuke 1:17 
Context1:17 And he will go as forerunner before the Lord 1 in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers back to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, 2 to make ready for the Lord a people prepared for him.”
Luke 14:21
Context14:21 So 3 the slave came back and reported this to his master. Then the master of the household was furious 4 and said to his slave, ‘Go out quickly 5 to the streets and alleys of the city, 6 and bring in the poor, 7 the crippled, 8 the blind, and the lame.’
1 tn Grk “before him”; the referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
2 sn These two lines cover all relationships: Turn the hearts of the fathers back to their children points to horizontal relationships, while (turn) the disobedient to the wisdom of the just shows what God gives from above in a vertical manner.
3 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the result of the preceding responses.
4 tn Grk “being furious, said.” The participle ὀργισθείς (orgisqei") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.
5 sn It was necessary to go out quickly because the banquet was already prepared. All the food would spoil if not eaten immediately.
6 tn Or “town.”
7 sn The poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame. Note how the list matches v. 13, illustrating that point. Note also how the party goes on; it is not postponed until a later date. Instead new guests are invited.
8 tn Grk “and the crippled.” Normally crippled as a result of being maimed or mutilated (L&N 23.177). Καί (kai) has not been translated here and before the following category (Grk “and the blind and the lame”) since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
