Commentary -- Verse Notes / Footnotes

NET Notes: Luk 17:27

¹ tn Grk “They.” The plural in Greek is indefinite, referring to people in general.

² tn These verbs (“eating… drinking… marrying… being given in marriage”) are all progressive imperfects, describing action in progress at that time.

³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

⁴ sn Like that flood came and destroyed them all, the coming judgment associated with the Son of Man will condemn many.
