¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

² tn Or “had been delivered”; Grk “had been saved.” This should not be understood as an expression for full salvation. They were only discussing the healing.

³ tn Grk “answered.”

⁴ tn Or “will be delivered”; Grk “will be saved.” This should not be understood as an expression for full salvation in the immediate context; it refers only to the girl’s healing.

⁵ tn Grk “And her.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

⁶ sn In other words, she came back to life; see Acts 20:10.

⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

⁸ tn Grk “And he.” Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the connection to the preceding statement.

⁹ tn Grk “a parable, saying.” The participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated here.

¹⁰ tn Or “yielded a plentiful harvest.”

¹¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

¹² tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

¹³ tn Or “should pray at all times” (L&N 67.88).

¹⁴ sn This is one of the few parables that comes with an explanation at the start: …they should always pray and not lose heart. It is part of Luke’s goal in encouraging Theophilus (1:4).

¹⁵ tn Grk “He”; the referent has been specified in the translation for clarity.

¹⁶ tn Grk “and despised.” This is a second parable with an explanatory introduction.

¹⁷ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of Jesus’ instructions.

¹⁸ tn The word “things” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

¹⁹ sn The author’s note that the disciples found things just as he had told them shows that Jesus’ word could be trusted.

²⁰ tc The phrase “He is not here, but has been raised” is omitted by a few mss (D it), but it has wide ms support and differs slightly from the similar statement in Matt 28:6 and Mark 16:6. Although NA²⁷ places the phrase at the beginning of v. 6, as do most modern English translations, it is omitted from the RSV and placed at the end of v. 5 in the NRSV.

tn The verb here is passive (ἠγέρθη, hgerqh). This “divine passive” (see ExSyn 437-38) points to the fact that Jesus was raised by God, and such activity by God is a consistent Lukan theological emphasis: Luke 20:37; 24:34; Acts 3:15; 4:10; 5:30; 10:40; 13:30, 37. A passive construction is also used to refer to Jesus’ exaltation: Luke 24:51; Acts 1:11, 22.

²¹ sn While he was still in Galilee looks back to the beginning of Jesus’ ministry. So the point is that this was announced long ago, and should come as no surprise.

²² sn Judas is now absent and “the twelve” have now become “the eleven.” Other disciples are also gathered with the remaining eleven.

²³ sn Now with the recounting of what had happened on the road two sets of witnesses corroborate the women’s report.

²⁴ tn Grk “how he was made known to them”; or “how he was recognized by them.” Here the passive construction has been converted to an active one in the translation in keeping with contemporary English style.
