Footnotes

  1. Luke 10:30 tn Grk “answering, said.” This is redundant in contemporary English and has been simplified to “replied.”
  2. Luke 10:30 sn The journey from Jerusalem to Jericho was 17 mi (27 km), descending some 3425 ft (1044 m) in altitude. It was known for its danger because the road ran through areas of desert and caves where the robbers hid.
  3. Luke 10:30 tn Grk “and beat,” 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.
  4. Luke 10:30 sn That is, in a state between life and death; severely wounded.
