Luke 24:27

24:27 Then ¹  beginning with Moses and all the prophets, ²  he interpreted to them the things written about ³  himself in all the scriptures.

Luke 24:4

24:4 While ⁴  they were perplexed ⁵  about this, suddenly ⁶  two men stood beside them in dazzling ⁷  attire.

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

² sn The reference to Moses and all the prophets is a way to say the promise of Messiah runs throughout OT scripture from first to last.

³ tn Or “regarding,” “concerning.” “Written” is implied by the mention of the scriptures in context; “said” could also be used here, referring to the original utterances, but by now these things had been committed to writing.

⁴ tn Grk “And it happened that while.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated. Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

⁵ tn Or “bewildered.” The term refers to a high state of confusion and anxiety.

⁶ tn Grk “behold.”

⁷ sn The brilliantly shining clothing (dazzling attire) points to the fact that these are angels (see 24:23).
