Luke 4:13

4:13 So ¹  when the devil ²  had completed every temptation, he departed from him until a more opportune time. ³ 

Luke 17:27

17:27 People ⁴  were eating, ⁵  they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage – right up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then ⁶  the flood came and destroyed them all. ⁷ 

Luke 1:20

1:20 And now, ⁸  because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time, ⁹  you will be silent, unable to speak, ¹⁰  until the day these things take place.”

¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate a summary.

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

³ tn Grk “until a favorable time.”

⁴ tn Grk “They.” The plural in Greek is indefinite, referring to people in general.

⁵ tn These verbs (“eating… drinking… marrying… being given in marriage”) are all progressive imperfects, describing action in progress at that time.

⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

⁷ sn Like that flood came and destroyed them all, the coming judgment associated with the Son of Man will condemn many.

⁷ tn Grk “behold.”

⁸ sn The predicted fulfillment in the expression my words, which will be fulfilled in their time takes place in Luke 1:63-66.

⁹ sn Silent, unable to speak. Actually Zechariah was deaf and mute as 1:61-63 indicates, since others had to use gestures to communicate with him.
