Luke Study Notes—Chapter 16New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)

-
a beggar: Or “a poor man.” The Greek word can refer to one who is very poor, or destitute. The use of this word provides a stark contrast to the rich man in Jesus’ illustration. It is used in a figurative sense at Mt 5:3 in the phrase rendered “those conscious of their spiritual need,” literally, “those who are poor (needy; destitute; beggars) as to the spirit,” conveying the idea of people who are painfully aware of their spiritual poverty and of their need for God.—See study note on Mt 5:3.
Lazarus: Probably the Greek form of the Hebrew name Eleazar, meaning “God Has Helped.”
