4:16-30 Jesus’ sermon in Nazareth previewed his whole public ministry. Jesus returned to his hometown synagogue to announce the good news that God’s salvation had now arrived. The people were pleased until Jesus reminded them that God reaches out to Gentiles as well as to Jews. The infuriated crowd then attempted to kill him.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
πτύξας τὸ βιβλίον
/having/_rolled_up the scroll
A scroll was closed by rolling it like a tube to protect the writing inside it. Alternate translation: “closing the scroll by rolling it up”
Note 2 topic: translate-unknown
τῷ ὑπηρέτῃ
˱to˲_the attendant
The attendant refers to a synagogue worker who, with proper care and reverence, would bring out and put away the scrolls that contained the Scriptures. If there is a word in your language for a person who has a similar role in your culture, you could use it here. Alternate translation: “the sexton”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐκάθισεν
˱he˲_sat_down
Since a person would stand to read the Scriptures in a synagogue but then sit down to teach, the implication is that Jesus was going to speak to the people about what he had just read. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly, as UST does. Alternate translation: “he sat down to teach”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
πάντων οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ἐν τῇ συναγωγῇ
˱of˲_all the eyes in the synagogue
Luke is using one part of people, their eyes, to represent people themselves in the act of seeing. Alternate translation: “all the people in the synagogue”
