Luke 20:45-47

Jesus Warns the Disciples against Pride

20:45 As ⁴  all the people were listening, Jesus ⁵  said to his disciples, 20:46 “Beware ⁶  of the experts in the law. ⁷  They ⁸  like walking around in long robes, and they love elaborate greetings ⁹  in the marketplaces and the best seats ¹⁰  in the synagogues ¹¹  and the places of honor at banquets. 20:47 They ¹²  devour ¹³  widows’ property, ¹⁴  and as a show make long prayers. They will receive a more severe punishment.”

[22:28]  ¹ tn Heb “Listen.”

[7:14]  ² tn Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[7:16]  ³ tc Most later mss add 7:16 “Let anyone with ears to hear, listen.” This verse is included in A D W Θ Ë^1,13 33 Ï latt sy, but is lacking in important Alexandrian mss and a few others (א B L Δ* 0274 28 2427). It appears to be a scribal gloss (see 4:9 and 4:23), perhaps introduced as a reiteration of the thought in 7:14, and is almost certainly not an original part of the Greek text of Mark. The present translation follows NA²⁷ in omitting the verse number, a procedure also followed by a number of other modern translations.

[20:45]  ⁴ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[20:45]  ⁵ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[20:46]  ⁶ tn Or “Be on guard against.” This is a present imperative and indicates that pride is something to constantly be on the watch against.

[20:46]  ⁷ tn Or “of the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 5:21.

[20:46]  ⁸ tn Grk “who,” continuing the sentence begun by the prior phrase.

[20:46]  ⁹ sn There is later Jewish material in the Talmud that spells out such greetings in detail. See D. L. Bock, Luke (BECNT), 2:1642; H. Windisch, TDNT 1:498.

[20:46]  ¹⁰ sn See Luke 14:1-14.

[20:46]  ¹¹ sn See the note on synagogues in 4:15.

[20:47]  ¹² tn Grk “who,” continuing the sentence begun in v. 46.

[20:47]  ¹³ sn How they were able to devour widows’ houses is debated. Did they seek too much for contributions, or take too high a commission for their work, or take homes after debts failed to be paid? There is too little said here to be sure.

[20:47]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “houses,” “households”; however, the term can have the force of “property” or “possessions” as well (O. Michel, TDNT 5:131; BDAG 695 s.v. οἶκια 1.a).
