Luke 16:20

Context
16:20 But at his gate lay 1  a poor man named Lazarus 2  whose body was covered with sores, 3 

1 tn The passive verb ἐβέβλητο (ebeblhto) does not indicate how Lazarus got there. Cf. BDAG 163 s.v. βάλλω 1.b, “he lay before the door”; Josephus, Ant. 9.10.2 (9.209).

2 sn This is the one time in all the gospels that a figure in a parable is mentioned by name. It will become important later in the account.

3 tn Or “was covered with ulcers.” The words “whose body” are implied in the context (L&N 23.180).
