Luke 20:39

20:39 Then some of the experts in the law answered, “Teacher, you have spoken well!”

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

tn Or “some of the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 5:21.

sn Teacher, you have spoken well! The scribes, being Pharisees, were happy for the defense of resurrection and angels, which they (unlike the Sadducees) believed in.
