Luke 22:39

On the Mount of Olives

22:39 Then ¹  Jesus ²  went out and made his way, ³  as he customarily did, to the Mount of Olives, ⁴  and the disciples followed him.

Luke 9:11

9:11 But when the crowds found out, they followed him. He ⁵  welcomed them, spoke to them about the kingdom of God, ⁶  and cured those who needed healing. ⁷ 

¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

² tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

³ tn Grk “went.”

⁴ sn See the note on the Mount of Olives in Luke 19:29.

⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

⁶ sn The kingdom of God is a major theme of Jesus. It is a realm in which Jesus rules and to which those who trust him belong. See Luke 6:20; 11:20; 17:20-21.

⁷ sn Again the combination of word (spoke to them) and healing (cured, compassionate deed) is what summarizes Jesus’ ministry: See Luke 4:38-44; 6:17-19; 7:22 (as also the disciples, 9:6).
