1 tn Grk “Thus.”
2 tn Grk “in the days.”
3 tn Grk “has looked on me” (an idiom for taking favorable notice of someone).
4 sn Barrenness was often seen as a reproach or disgrace (Lev 20:20-21; Jer 22:30), but now at her late age (the exact age is never given in Luke’s account), God had miraculously removed it (see also Luke 1:7).
5 tn Grk “among men”; but the context clearly indicates a generic use of ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") here.
6 tn Grk “And the.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
7 tn Grk “the”; in context the article is used as a possessive pronoun (ExSyn 215).
8 tn L&N 57.19 notes that in nonbiblical contexts in which the word οὐσία (ousia) occurs, it refers to considerable possessions or wealth, thus “estate.”
9 tn L&N 57.3, “to belong to or come to belong to, with the possible implication of by right or by inheritance.”
10 tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate the father’s response to the younger son’s request.
11 tn Grk “the”; in context the article is used as a possessive pronoun (ExSyn 215).

13 tn Grk “to rule over them.”
14 tn This term, when used of people rather than animals, has some connotations of violence and mercilessness (L&N 20.72).

16 sn This scripture must be fulfilled in me. The statement again reflects the divine necessity of God’s plan. See 4:43-44.
17 tn Or “with the lawless.”
sn This is a quotation from Isa 53:12. It highlights a theme of Luke 22-23. Though completely innocent, Jesus dies as if he were a criminal.
