Luke 9:41

9:41 Jesus answered, ¹  “You ²  unbelieving ³  and perverse generation! How much longer ⁴  must I be with you and endure ⁵  you? ⁶  Bring your son here.”

Luke 12:56

12:56 You hypocrites! ⁷  You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but how can you not know how ⁸  to interpret the present time?

Luke 16:10

16:10 “The one who is faithful in a very little ⁹  is also faithful in much, and the one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.

¹ tn Grk “And answering, Jesus said.” This is redundant in contemporary English and has been simplified to “Jesus answered.” Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

² tn Grk “O.” The marker of direct address, ὦ (w), is functionally equivalent to a vocative and is represented in the translation by “you.”

³ tn Or “faithless.”

⁴ tn Grk “how long.”

⁵ tn Or “and put up with.” See Num 11:12; Isa 46:4.

⁶ sn The pronouns you…you are plural, indicating that Jesus is speaking to a group rather than an individual.

⁷ sn In Luke, the term hypocrites occurs here, in 6:42, and in 13:15.

⁸ tc Most mss (Ì⁴⁵ A W Ψ Ë^1,13 Ï lat) have a syntax here that reflects a slightly different rhetorical question: “but how do you not interpret the present time?” The reading behind the translation, however, has overall superior support: Ì⁷⁵ א B L Θ 33 892 1241 pc.

¹³ sn The point of the statement faithful in a very little is that character is shown in how little things are treated.
