Commentary -- Verse Notes / Footnotes

NET Notes: Luk 20:1 The chief priests and the experts in the law with the elders came up. The description is similar to Luke 19:47. The leaders are really watching Jesus ...

NET Notes: Luk 20:2 The leadership is looking back to acts like the temple cleansing (19:45-48). How could a Galilean preacher do these things?

NET Notes: Luk 20:3 Grk “answering, he said to them.” This is redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation.
