Luke 7:12

Context
7:12 As he approached the town gate, a man 1  who had died was being carried out, 2  the only son of his mother (who 3  was a widow 4 ), and a large crowd from the town 5  was with her.

1 tn Grk “behold.” The Greek word ἰδού (idou) has not been translated because it has no exact English equivalent here, but adds interest and emphasis (BDAG 468 s.v. 1).

2 tn That is, carried out for burial. This was a funeral procession.

3 tn Grk “and she.” The clause introduced by καί (kai) has been translated as a relative clause for the sake of English style.

4 sn The description of the woman as a widow would mean that she was now socially alone and without protection in 1st century Jewish culture.

5 tn Or “city.”
