Discovery Box| (0.30) | (Joh 17:8) | 1 tn Grk And they.” The conjunction καί (kai, “and”) has not been translated here in keeping with the tendency of contemporary English style to use shorter sentences. |
| (0.30) | (Joh 14:26) | 2 tn Grk “that one will teach you.” The words “that one” have been omitted from the translation since they are redundant in English. |
| (0.30) | (Joh 12:22) | 1 tn Grk “Andrew and Philip”; because a repetition of the proper names would be redundant in contemporary English style, the phrase “they both” has been substituted in the translation. |
| (0.30) | (Joh 9:27) | 3 tn “It” is not in the Greek text but has been supplied. Direct objects in Greek were often omitted when they were clearly implied in the context. |
| (0.30) | (Joh 8:59) | 2 sn Jesus’ Jewish listeners understood his claim to deity, rejected it, and picked up stones to throw at him for what they considered blasphemy. |
| (0.30) | (Joh 7:28) | 3 sn You both know me and know where I come from! Jesus’ response while teaching in the temple is difficult—it appears to concede too much understanding to his opponents. It is best to take the words as irony: “So you know me and know where I am from, do you?” On the physical, literal level, they did know where he was from: Nazareth of Galilee (at least they thought they knew). But on another deeper (spiritual) level, they did not: He came from heaven, from the Father. Jesus insisted that he has not come on his own initiative (cf. 5:37), but at the bidding of the Father who sent him. |
| (0.30) | (Luk 24:24) | 2 tn Here the pronoun αὐτόν (auton), referring to Jesus, is in an emphatic position. The one thing they lacked was solid evidence that he was alive. |
| (0.30) | (Luk 24:28) | 1 sn He acted as though he wanted to go farther. This is written in a way that gives the impression Jesus knew they would ask him to stay. |
| (0.30) | (Luk 24:31) | 2 sn They recognized him. Other than this cryptic remark, it is not told how the two disciples were now able to recognize Jesus. |
| (0.30) | (Luk 24:5) | 2 tn Grk “they”; the referent (the women) has been specified in the translation for clarity (the same has been done in v. 8). |
| (0.30) | (Luk 23:31) | 1 tn Grk “if they do such things.” The plural subject here is indefinite, so the active voice has been translated as a passive (see ExSyn 402). |
| (0.30) | (Luk 20:39) | 3 sn Teacher, you have spoken well! The scribes, being Pharisees, were happy for the defense of resurrection and angels, which they (unlike the Sadducees) believed in. |
| (0.30) | (Luk 20:40) | 1 sn The attempt to show Jesus as ignorant had left the experts silenced. At this point they did not dare any longer to ask him anything. |
| (0.30) | (Luk 20:7) | 2 sn Very few questions could have so completely revealed the wicked intentions of the religious leaders. Jesus’ question revealed the motivation of the religious leaders and exposed them for what they really were—hypocrites. They indicted themselves when they cited only two options and chose neither of them. The point of Luke 20:1-8 is that no matter what Jesus said in response to their question they were not going to believe it and would in the end use it against him. |
| (0.30) | (Luk 13:29) | 2 tn Grk “they”; the referent (people who will come to participate in the kingdom) has been specified in the translation for clarity. |
| (0.30) | (Luk 13:2) | 2 sn Jesus did not want his hearers to think that tragedy was necessarily a judgment on these people because they were worse sinners. |
| (0.30) | (Luk 12:20) | 3 tn Grk “the things you have prepared, whose will they be?” The words “for yourself” are not in the Greek text, but are implied. |
| (0.30) | (Luk 9:36) | 3 sn Although the disciples told no one at the time, later they did recount this. The commentary on this scene is 2 Pet 1:17-18. |
| (0.30) | (Luk 8:36) | 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. |
| (0.30) | (Luk 8:10) | 6 sn A quotation from Isa 6:9. Thus parables both conceal or reveal depending on whether one is open to hearing what they teach. |
