Luke 17:7

17:7 “Would any one of you say ¹  to your slave ²  who comes in from the field after plowing or shepherding sheep, ‘Come at once and sit down for a meal’? ³ 

Luke 23:33

23:33 So ⁴  when they came to the place that is called “The Skull,” ⁵  they crucified ⁶  him there, along with the criminals, one on his right and one on his left.

¹ tn Grk “Who among you, having a slave… would say to him.”

² tn See the note on the word “slave” in 7:2.

³ tn Grk “and recline at table,” as 1st century middle eastern meals were not eaten while sitting at a table, but while reclining on one’s side on the floor with the head closest to the low table and the feet farthest away. See BDAG 70 s.v. ἀναπίπτω 1.

⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the conclusion of the preceding material.

⁵ sn The place that is called ‘The Skull’ (known as Golgotha in Aramaic, cf. John 19:17) is north and just outside of Jerusalem. The hill on which it is located protruded much like a skull, giving the place its name. The Latin word for Greek κρανίον (kranion) is calvaria, from which the English word “Calvary” derives (cf. Luke 23:33 in the KJV).

⁶ sn See the note on crucify in 23:21.
