Luke 9
NETnotesLuke 9:2
1 tn Grk “And it happened that some time.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.
2 tn Καθεξῆς (Kaqexh") is a general temporal term and need not mean “soon afterward”; see Luke 1:3; Acts 3:24; 11:4; 18:23 and L&N 61.1.
3 tn Or “cities.”
4 sn The combination of preaching and proclaiming the good news is a bit emphatic, stressing Jesus’ teaching ministry on the rule of God.
5 sn The kingdom of God is a major theme of Jesus. It is a realm in which Jesus rules and to which those who trust him belong. See Luke 6:20; 11:20; 17:20-21.
6 tn Grk “And the.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
Luke 9:3
7 sn There is an important respect shown to women in this text, as their contributions were often ignored in ancient society.
8 tn Or “illnesses.” The term ἀσθένεια (asqeneia) refers to the state of being ill and thus incapacitated in some way - “illness, disability, weakness.” (L&N 23.143).
9 sn This Mary is not the woman mentioned in the previous passage (as some church fathers claimed), because she is introduced as a new figure here. In addition, she is further specified by Luke with the notation called Magdalene, which seems to distinguish her from the woman at Simon the Pharisee’s house.
Luke 9:4
10 sn Cuza is also spelled “Chuza” in many English translations.
11 sn Herod’s refers here to Herod Antipas. See the note on Herod Antipas in 3:1.
12 tn Here ἐπίτροπος (epitropo") is understood as referring to the majordomo or manager of Herod’s household (BDAG 385 s.v. ἐπίτροπος 1). However, as BDAG notes, the office may be political in nature and would then be translated something like “governor” or “procurator.” Note that in either case the gospel was reaching into the highest levels of society.
13 tc Many mss (א A L Ψ Ë1 33 565 579 1241 2542 pm it co) read “for him,” but “for them” also has good ms support (B D K W ΓΔΘ Ë13 700 892 1424 pm lat). From an internal standpoint the singular pronoun looks like an assimilation to texts like Matthew 27:55 and Mark 15:41.

Luke 9:59
1 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
2 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
3 tn An aorist participle preceding an aorist main verb may indicate either contemporaneous (simultaneous) action (“When he called… he gave”) or antecedent (prior) action (“After he called… he gave”). The participle συγκαλεσάμενος (sunkalesameno") has been translated here as indicating antecedent action.
4 tc Some mss add ἀποστόλους (apostolou", “apostles”; א C* L ΘΨ 070 0291 Ë13 33 579 892 1241 1424 2542 pc lat) or μαθητὰςαὐτοῦ (maqhta" autou, “his disciples”; C3 al it) here, but such clarifying notes are clearly secondary.
5 sn Note how Luke distinguishes between exorcisms (authority over all demons) and diseases here.
Luke 9:60
6 sn “To send out” is often a term of divine commission in Luke: 1:19; 4:18, 43; 7:27; 9:48; 10:1, 16; 11:49; 13:34; 24:49.
7 tn Or “to preach.”
8 sn The kingdom of God is a major theme of Jesus. It is a realm in which Jesus rules and to which those who trust him belong. See Luke 6:20; 11:20; 17:20-21.
9 sn As Jesus’ own ministry (Luke 4:16-44) involved both word (to proclaim) and deed (to heal) so also would that of the disciples.
Luke 9:61
10 tn Grk “And he.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
11 tn Grk “the”; in context the article is used as a possessive pronoun (ExSyn 215).
12 sn Mark 6:8 allows one staff. It might be that Luke’s summary (cf. Matthew 10:9-10) means not taking an extra staff or that the expression is merely rhetorical for “traveling light” which has been rendered in two slightly different ways.
13 tn Or “no traveler’s bag”; or possibly “no beggar’s bag” (L&N 6.145; BDAG 811 s.v. πήρα).
14 tn Grk “have two tunics.” See the note on the word “tunics” in 3:11.
Luke 9:62
