Footnotes

  1. 1 Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
  2. 2 Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  3. 3 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 (sunkalesamenos) has been translated here as indicating antecedent action.
  4. 4 Some add ἀποστόλους (apostolous, “apostles”; א C* L Θ Ψ 070 0291 f13 33 579 892 1241 1424 2542 lat) or μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ (mathētas autou, “his disciples”; C3 al it) here, but such clarifying notes are clearly secondary.
  5. 5 Note how Luke distinguishes between exorcisms (authority over all demons) and diseases here.
  6. 6 “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. 7 Or “to preach.”
  8. 8 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. 9 As Jesus’ own ministry (Luke 4:16–44) involved both word (to proclaim) and deed (to heal) so also would that of the disciples.
