Luke 9:12

Context
9:12 Now the day began to draw to a close, 1  so 2  the twelve came and said to Jesus, 3  “Send the crowd away, so they can go into the surrounding villages and countryside and find lodging 4  and food, because we are in an isolated place.” 5 

1 tn Grk “the day began to decline,” looking to the approach of sunset.

2 tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate that the disciples’ request was related to the approach of sunset.

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

4 tn That is, find someone to show them hospitality. L&N 34.61 has “find lodging,” using this verse as an example.

5 tn Or “in a desert” (meaning a deserted or desolate area with sparse vegetation). Here ὧδε (Jwde) has not been translated.
