Footnotes

36 Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
37 The participle εἰσερχομένου (eiserchomenou) is taken temporally.
38 The ten men with leprosy would have been unable to approach Jesus (Lev 13:45–46; Num 5:2–3). The ancient term for leprosy covered a wider array of conditions than what is called leprosy today. A leper was totally ostracized from society until he was declared cured (Lev 13:45–46).
39 Grk “leprosy, who.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, the relative pronoun was replaced with a personal pronoun and a new sentence started at this point in the translation.
40 “Have mercy on us” is a request to heal them (Luke 18:38–39; 16:24; Matt 9:27; 15:22; 17:15; 20:31–32; Mark 10:47–49).
41 καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
42 The participle πορευθέντες (poreuthentes) is a good example of an adverbial participle of attendant circumstance. As such, it picks up the force of an imperative from the verb to which it is related ( ).
43 These are the instructions of what to do with a healing (Lev 13:19; 14:1–11; Luke 5:14).
44 Grk “And it happened that as.” 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.
