Luke 21:4

21:4 For they all offered their gifts out of their wealth. ¹  But she, out of her poverty, put in everything she had to live on.” ² 

Luke 23:29

23:29 For this is certain: ³  The days are coming when they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore children, and the breasts that never nursed!’ ⁴ 

Luke 24:7

24:7 that ⁵  the Son of Man must be delivered ⁶  into the hands of sinful men, ⁷  and be crucified, ⁸  and on the third day rise again.” ⁹ 

¹ tn Grk “out of what abounded to them.”

² tn Or “put in her entire livelihood.”

³ tn Grk “For behold.”

⁴ tn Grk “Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that have not borne, and the breasts that have not nursed!”

⁵ tn Grk “saying that,” but this would be redundant in English. Although the translation represents this sentence as indirect discourse, the Greek could equally be taken as direct discourse: “Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee: ‘the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’”

⁶ tn See Luke 9:22, 44; 13:33.

⁷ tn Because in the historical context the individuals who were primarily responsible for the death of Jesus (the Jewish leadership in Jerusalem in Luke’s view [see Luke 9:22]) would have been men, the translation “sinful men” for ἀνθρώπων ἁμαρτωλῶν (anqrwpwn Jamartwlwn) is retained here.

⁸ sn See the note on crucify in 23:21.

⁹ tn Here the infinitive ἀναστῆναι (anasthnai) is active rather than passive.
