Discovery BoxLuke 1:65 
Context1:65 All 1 their neighbors were filled with fear, and throughout the entire hill country of Judea all these things were talked about.
Luke 8:39

1 tn Grk “And all.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
sn Fear is the emotion that comes when one recognizes something unusual, even supernatural, has taken place.
2 tn Grk “your house.”
3 tn Or “describe.”
4 sn Jesus instructs the man to declare what God has done for him, in contrast to the usual instructions (e.g., 8:56; 9:21) to remain silent. Here in Gentile territory Jesus allowed more open discussion of his ministry. D. L. Bock (Luke [BECNT], 1:781) suggests that with few Jewish religious representatives present, there would be less danger of misunderstanding Jesus’ ministry as political.
5 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the man’s response to Jesus’ instructions.
6 tn Or “city.”
7 sn Note that the man could not separate what God had done from the one through whom God had done it (what Jesus had done for him). This man was called to witness to God’s goodness at home.
8 tn Or “were adamant.” For “persisted in saying,” see L&N 68.71.
9 sn He incites the people. The Jewish leadership claimed that Jesus was a political threat and had to be stopped. By reiterating this charge of stirring up rebellion, they pressured Pilate to act, or be accused of overlooking political threats to Rome.
10 tn Grk “beginning from Galilee until here.”
