NET Notes

¹tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

²tn Grk “said,” but what follows is a question.

³sn The kingdom of God is a major theme of Jesus. It is a realm in which Jesus rules and to which those who trust him belong. See Luke 6:20; 11:20; 17:20-21.

⁴sn What is the kingdom of God like? Unlike Mark 4 or Matt 13, where the kingdom parables tend to be all in one location in the narrative, Luke scatters his examples throughout the Gospel.

⁵tn Grk “And to.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
