Luke 5:16

Context
5:16 Yet Jesus himself 1  frequently withdrew 2  to the wilderness 3  and prayed.

1 tn Here αὐτός (autos) has been translated reflexively.

2 tn Grk “was withdrawing” (ἦν ὑποχωρῶν, hn jJupocwrwn). The adverb “frequently” has been added in the translation to bring out what is most likely an iterative force to the imperfect. However, the imperfect might instead portray an ingressive idea: “he began to withdraw.” See ExSyn 542-43.

3 tn Or “desert.”
