Luke 7:13

When ¹  the Lord saw her, he had compassion ²  for her and said to her, “Do not weep.” ³ 

Jud 10:16; Ps 86:5,15; Ps 103:13; Isa 63:9; Jer 31:15,16; Jer 31:20; La 3:32,33; Mr 8:2; Lu 8:52; Joh 11:33-35; Joh 20:13,15; 1Co 7:30; 1Th 4:13; Heb 2:17; Heb 4:15

¹ tn Grk “And seeing her, the Lord.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style. The participle ἰδών (idwn) has been taken temporally.

² sn He had compassion. It is unusual for Luke to note such emotion by Jesus, though the other Synoptics tend to mention it (Matt 14:14; Mark 6:34; Matt 15:32; Mark 8:2).

³ tn The verb κλαίω (klaiw) denotes the loud wailing or lamenting typical of 1st century Jewish mourning.
