Luke 16:21

Context
16:21 who longed to eat 1  what fell from the rich man’s table. In addition, the dogs 2  came and licked 3  his sores.

1 tn Grk “to eat his fill,” but this phrase has been simplified as “to eat” for stylistic reasons.

2 tn The term κύνες (kunes) refers to “wild” dogs (either “street” dogs or watchdogs), not house pets (L&N 4.34).

3 sn When the dogs came and licked his sores it meant that he was unclean. See the negative image of Rev 22:15 that draws on this picture.
