Luke 4:29

4:29 They got up, forced ¹  him out of the town, ²  and brought him to the brow of the hill on which their town was built, so that ³  they could throw him down the cliff. ⁴ 

Luke 6:49

6:49 But the person who hears and does not put my words into practice ⁵  is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When ⁶  the river burst against that house, ⁷  it collapsed immediately, and was utterly destroyed!” ⁸ 

Luke 20:17

20:17 But Jesus ⁹  looked straight at them and said, “Then what is the meaning of that which is written: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’? ¹⁰ 

¹ tn Grk “cast.”

² tn Or “city.”

³ tn The Greek conjunction ὥστε (Jwste) here indicates their purpose.

⁴ sn The attempt to throw him down the cliff looks like “lynch law,” but it may really be an indication that Jesus was regarded as a false prophet who was worthy of death (Deut 13:5). Such a sentence meant being thrown into a pit and then stoned.

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.”

⁹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

¹⁰ tn Or “capstone,” “keystone.” Although these meanings are lexically possible, the imagery in Eph 2:20-22 and 1 Cor 3:11 indicates that the term κεφαλὴ γωνίας (kefalh gwnia") refers to a cornerstone, not a capstone.
