New English Translation

Footnotes

  1. Luke 7:20 tn Grk “And when.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
  2. Luke 7:20 tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  3. Luke 7:20 tn Grk “to you, saying,” but since this takes the form of a question, it is preferable to use the phrase “to ask” in English.
  4. Luke 7:20 tn This question is repeated word for word from v. 19.
  5. Luke 7:21 tn Grk “In that hour.”
  6. Luke 7:21 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  7. Luke 7:21 tn Grk “and sicknesses,” 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.
  8. Luke 7:21 tn Or “and bestowed (sight) on.”
  9. Luke 7:22 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the relationship to Jesus’ miraculous cures in the preceding sentence.
  10. Luke 7:22 tn Grk “answering, he said to them.” This is redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation to “he answered them.”
  11. Luke 7:22 sn The same verb has been translated “inform” in 7:18.
  12. Luke 7:22 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.
  13. Luke 7:22 sn See the note on lepers in Luke 4:27.
  14. Luke 7:22 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.
