Luke 15:6

Context
15:6 Returning 1  home, he calls together 2  his 3  friends and neighbors, telling them, ‘Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep that was lost.’

1 tn Grk “And coming into his…” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

2 sn A touch of drama may be present, as the term calls together can mean a formal celebration (1 Kgs 1:9-10).

3 tn Grk “the”; in context the article is used as a possessive pronoun (ExSyn 215). It occurs before “neighbors” as well (“his friends and his neighbors”) but has not been translated the second time because of English style.
