Luke 15:23

Context
15:23 Bring 1  the fattened calf 2  and kill it! Let us eat 3  and celebrate,

1 tn Grk “And bring.” 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.

2 tn Or “the prize calf” (L&N 65.8). See also L&N 44.2, “grain-fattened.” Such a calf was usually reserved for religious celebrations.

3 tn The participle φαγόντες (fagontes) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.
