Luke 10:5

10:5 Whenever ¹  you enter a house, ²  first say, ‘May peace ³  be on this house!’

Luke 11:38

11:38 The ⁴  Pharisee was astonished when he saw that Jesus ⁵  did not first wash his hands ⁶  before the meal.

Luke 17:25

17:25 But first he must ⁷  suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

² tn Grk “Into whatever house you enter.” This acts as a distributive, meaning every house they enter; this is expressed more naturally in English as “whenever you enter a house.”

³ sn The statement ‘May peace be on this house!’ is really a benediction, asking for God’s blessing. The requested shalom (peace) is understood as coming from God.

⁴ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

⁵ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁶ tn The words “his hands” are not in the Greek text, but have been supplied for clarity.

⁷ sn The Son of Man’s suffering and rejection by this generation is another “it is necessary” type of event in God’s plan (Luke 4:43; 24:7, 26, 44) and the fifth passion prediction in Luke’s account (9:22, 44; 12:50; 13:32-33; for the last, see 18:32-33).
