Luke 7:22

So ¹  he answered them, ²  “Go tell ³  John what you have seen and heard: ⁴  The blind see, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the ⁵  deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have good news proclaimed to them.

Job 29:15; Ps 146:8; Isa 29:18,19; Isa 32:3,4; Isa 35:5,6; Isa 42:6,7,16; Isa 43:8; Isa 61:1-3; Jer 31:8; Zep 3:12; Mt 9:28-30; Mt 15:30,31; Mt 21:14; Mr 7:32-37; Lu 4:18; Lu 5:12-15; Lu 7:14,15; Lu 7:21; Lu 8:53-55; Lu 17:12-19; Lu 18:35-43; Joh 1:46; Joh 9:30-33; Ac 3:2-8; Ac 8:7; Ac 14:8-10; Ac 26:18; Jas 2:5

¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the relationship to Jesus’ miraculous cures in the preceding sentence.

² tn Grk “answering, he said to them.” This is redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation to “he answered them.”

³ sn The same verb has been translated “inform” in 7:18.

⁴ sn What you have seen and heard. The following activities all paraphrase various OT descriptions of the time of promised salvation: Isa 35:5-6; 26:19; 29:18-19; 61:1. Jesus is answering not by acknowledging a title, but by pointing to the nature of his works, thus indicating the nature of the time.

⁵ tn Grk “and the,” but καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
