Luke 23:4

23:4 Then ¹  Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for an accusation ²  against this man.”

Luke 22:22

22:22 For the Son of Man is to go just as it has been determined, ³  but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!”

Luke 6:49

6:49 But the person who hears and does not put my words into practice ⁴  is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When ⁵  the river burst against that house, ⁶  it collapsed immediately, and was utterly destroyed!” ⁷ 

Luke 23:14

23:14 and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was misleading ⁸  the people. When I examined him before you, I ⁹  did not find this man guilty ¹⁰  of anything you accused him of doing.

Luke 6:48

6:48 He is like a man ¹¹  building a house, who dug down deep, ¹²  and laid the foundation on bedrock. When ¹³  a flood came, the river ¹⁴  burst against that house but ¹⁵  could not shake it, because it had been well built. ¹⁶ 

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

² tn Grk “find no cause.”

³ sn Jesus’ death has been determined as a part of God’s plan (Acts 2:22-24).

⁵ tn Grk “does not do [them].”

⁶ tn Grk “against which”; because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, the relative clause was converted to a temporal clause in the translation and a new sentence started here.

⁷ tn Grk “it”; the referent (that house) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁸ tn Grk “and its crash was great.”

⁷ tn This term also appears in v. 2.

⁸ tn Grk “behold, I” A transitional use of ἰδού (idou) has not been translated here.

⁹ tn Grk “nothing did I find in this man by way of cause.” The reference to “nothing” is emphatic.

⁹ tn Here and in v. 49 the Greek text reads ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo"), while the parallel account in Matt 7:24-27 uses ἀνήρ (anhr) in vv. 24 and 26.

¹⁰ tn There are actually two different Greek verbs used here: “who dug (ἔσκαψεν, eskayen) and dug deep (ἐβάθυνεν, ebaqunen).” Jesus is placing emphasis on the effort to which the man went to prepare his foundation.

¹¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

¹² sn The picture here is of a river overflowing its banks and causing flooding and chaos.

¹³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in the context.

¹⁴ tc Most mss, especially later ones (A C D Θ Ψ Ë^1,13 Ï latt), read “because he built [it] on the rock” rather than “because it had been well built” (Ì^75vid א B L W Ξ 33 579 892 1241 2542 pc sa). The reading of the later mss seems to be a harmonization to Matt 7:25, rendering it most likely secondary.
