Luke 22:33

22:33 But Peter ¹  said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!” ² 

Luke 2:26

2:26 It ³  had been revealed ⁴  to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die ⁵  before ⁶  he had seen the Lord’s Christ. ⁷ 

¹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Peter) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

² sn The confidence Peter has in private (Lord, I am ready…) will wilt under the pressure of the public eye.

³ tn Grk “And it.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

⁴ tn The use of the passive suggests a revelation by God, and in the OT the corresponding Hebrew term represented here by κεχρηματισμένον (kecrhmatismenon) indicated some form of direct revelation from God (Jer 25:30; 33:2; Job 40:8).

⁵ tn Grk “would not see death” (an idiom for dying).

⁶ tn On the grammar of this temporal clause, see BDF §§383.3; 395.

⁷ tn Or “Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”
