Luke 13:5

13:5 No, I tell you! But unless you repent ¹  you will all perish as well!” ² 

Luke 20:31

20:31 and then the third married her, and in this same way all seven died, leaving no children.

Luke 22:20

22:20 And in the same way he took ³  the cup after they had eaten, ⁴  saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant ⁵  in my blood.

¹ sn Jesus’ point repeats v. 3. The circumstances make no difference. All must deal with the reality of what death means.

² tn Grk “similarly.”

³ tn The words “he took” are not in the Greek text at this point, but are an understood repetition from v. 19.

⁴ tn The phrase “after they had eaten” translates the temporal infinitive construction μετὰ τὸ δειπνῆσαι (meta to deipnhsai), where the verb δειπνέω (deipnew) means “to eat a meal” or “to have a meal.”

⁵ sn Jesus’ death established the forgiveness promised in the new covenant of Jer 31:31. Jesus is reinterpreting the symbolism of the Passover meal, indicating the presence of a new era.
