SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 14:1–6: Jesus healed a sick man on the Sabbath

In this section Jesus healed a man whose arms and legs were swollen. He performed this miracle on a Sabbath day in the house of a Pharisee. This event did not necessarily happen after the events of the previous section. It occurs only in Luke.

Another possible heading for this section is:

Jesus Heals a Sick Man (GNT)

The next two sections, 14:7–14 and 14:15–24, also occur in the house of the Pharisee. English versions have divided 14:1–24 into sections in different ways. For example:

The GW has one section for 14:1–24. The section heading is:
Jesus attends a banquet
The NIV has two sections. They are:
Jesus at a Pharisee’s House (14:1–14)
The Parable of the Great Banquet (14:15–24)

It is good to read these sections before you decide where to make the section breaks. You should divide the sections in a way that will be appropriate in your language.

14:4a

But they remained silent.

¶ But they did not say anything.
¶ The Pharisees and law experts did not reply.
¶ When they refused to answer, (NLT)

But they remained silent: The clause they remained silent indicates that the Pharisees and experts did not answer Jesus’ question. The text does not indicate the exact reason why they did not answer. They probably realized that people would criticize them for either answer they gave. If they said that it was lawful to heal on the Sabbath, the other Jewish leaders could accuse them of not supporting the law against work on the Sabbath. If they said it was not lawful, the common people would accuse them of not caring about the suffering of sick people.

14:4b

Then Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him on his way.

Then Jesus put his hands on the man and healed him. After that, he let him go home.
So Jesus placed his hands on the man and he became well. Then he told the man that he could go home.
Jesus touched the sick man and healed him and sent him away. (NLT)

Then: In Greek 14:4b begins with a conjunction that the BSB translates as Then. This conjunction introduces Jesus’ next action after the Jewish leaders refused to answer his question. Many English versions, including the NIV, translate the conjunction as “So.” Other versions, such as the GNT, do not translate this conjunction. Here is another way to connect 14:4a and 14:4b:

When they refused to answer, Jesus touched the sick man… (NLT)

Translate this connection in a natural way in your language.

Jesus took hold of the man, healed him: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as took hold of the man is literally “having-taken” or “having-taken-hold.” It probably indicates that Jesus put his hands on the man in order to heal him.Most scholars understand the verb to mean here that Jesus placed his hands on the man in order to heal him. There is no indication that Jesus led the man anywhere before he healed him. It does not imply that Jesus took the man to a different location. While 14:4b is part of the same sentence as 14:4a in Greek, in some languages it will be more natural to start a new sentence at 14:4b. Most English versions do that. For example:

So Jesus took hold of the man, healed him (NET)

Then Jesus touched the man and healed him

sent him on his way: The Greek word that the BSB translates as sent him on his way indicates here that Jesus dismissed the man. He gave him permission to leave and go home. Be careful not to imply that Jesus harshly ordered the man to leave.

uW Translation Notes:

οἱ δὲ ἡσύχασαν

they (Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἱ Δέ ἡσύχασαν Καί ἐπιλαβόμενος ἰάσατο αὐτόν καί ἀπέλυσεν)

Alternate translation: [But the religious leaders would not answer Jesus’ question]

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

καὶ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἱ Δέ ἡσύχασαν Καί ἐπιλαβόμενος ἰάσατο αὐτόν καί ἀπέλυσεν)

Luke uses the word And to introduce the results of what the previous sentence described. Because the religious leaders made no objection to healing on the Sabbath, as a result, Jesus healed the man. Alternate translation: [So]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

ἐπιλαβόμενος

˓having˒_taken_hold_‹of_him›

Alternate translation: [Jesus took hold of the man who was suffering from edema and]
