Footnotes

  1. Luke 11:37 tn The use of the aorist infinitive here should probably be translated “as he spoke” rather than “while he was speaking” (see ExSyn 595). The Pharisee did not necessarily interrupt Jesus to issue the invitation.
  2. Luke 11:37 sn See the note on Pharisees in 5:17.
  3. Luke 11:37 tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  4. Luke 11:37 tn Grk “and reclined at table,” as 1st century middle eastern meals were not eaten while sitting at a table, but while reclining on one’s side on the floor with the head closest to the low table and the feet farthest away.
