12:19 And I will say to myself, ²  “You have plenty of goods stored up for many years; relax, eat, drink, celebrate!”’

Luke 8:30

8:30 Jesus then ¹⁰  asked him, “What is your name?” He ¹¹  said, “Legion,” ¹²  because many demons had entered him.

Luke 9:22

9:22 saying, “The Son of Man must suffer ¹³  many things and be rejected by the elders, ¹⁴  chief priests, and experts in the law, ¹⁵  and be killed, and on the third day be raised.” ¹⁶ 

¹ tn Or “insulting.” Luke uses a strong word here; it means “to revile, to defame, to blaspheme” (L&N 33.400).

² tn Grk “to my soul,” which is repeated as a vocative in the following statement, but is left untranslated as redundant.

³ tn On construction μὲν οὖν καί (men oun kai), see BDF §451.1.

⁴ tn Grk “he”; the referent (John) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁴ sn The Son of Man’s suffering and rejection by this generation is another “it is necessary” type of event in God’s plan (Luke 4:43; 24:7, 26, 44) and the fifth passion prediction in Luke’s account (9:22, 44; 12:50; 13:32-33; for the last, see 18:32-33).

⁵ tc Most mss (A B* C D W Θ Ψ Ë^1,13 Ï it) read “Jesus” instead of “the Lord” here, but κύριος (kurios, “Lord”) has the support of some weighty papyri, uncials, and other witnesses (Ì^3,[45],75 א B² L 579 892 pc lat sa).

⁶ tn Grk “answering, said to her.” This is redundant in contemporary English and has been simplified to “answered her.”

⁷ sn The double vocative Martha, Martha communicates emotion.

⁸ tn Or “upset.” Here the meanings of μεριμνάω (merimnaw) and θορυβάζομαι (qorubazomai) reinforce each other (L&N 25.234).

⁶ tn Grk “And Jesus.” Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to pick up the sequence of the narrative prior to the parenthetical note by the author.

⁷ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

⁸ sn The name Legion means “thousands,” a word taken from a Latin term for a large group of soldiers. The term not only suggests a multiple possession, but also adds a military feel to the account. This is a true battle.

⁷ sn The necessity that the Son of Man suffer is the particular point that needed emphasis, since for many 1st century Jews the Messiah was a glorious and powerful figure, not a suffering one.

⁸ sn Rejection in Luke is especially by the Jewish leadership (here elders, chief priests, and experts in the law), though in Luke 23 almost all will join in.

⁹ tn Or “and scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 5:21.

¹⁰ sn The description of the Son of Man being rejected…killed, and…raised is the first of six passion summaries in Luke: 9:44; 17:25; 18:31-33; 24:7; 24:46-47.
