Luke 7:36

Now one of the Pharisees ¹  asked Jesus ²  to have dinner with him, so ³  he went into the Pharisee’s house and took his place at the table. ⁴ 

Mt 26:6-5; Mr 14:3-9; Lu 7:34; Lu 11:37; Lu 14:1; Joh 11:2-16

¹ sn See the note on Pharisees in 5:17.

² tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate that Jesus’ action was the result of the Pharisee’s invitation.

⁴ tn Grk “and reclined at table,” as 1st century middle eastern meals were not eaten while sitting at a table, but while reclining on one’s side on the floor with the head closest to the low table and the feet farthest away.
