Notes: In rendering τόπος[b], περιοχή, or γραφή[a], it is often possible to use a rather general term such as the place or the part. In other instances one may wish to use a term meaning the words. Accordingly, RV LUK 4:21 · LV LUK 4:21 · Read together LUK 4:21 may be rendered as ‘these words have come true today as you have heard them being read.’
