Luke 24:50-51

Jesus’ Departure

24:50 Then ²⁰  Jesus ²¹  led them out as far as Bethany, ²²  and lifting up his hands, he blessed them. 24:51 Now ²³  during the blessing ²⁴  he departed ²⁵  and was taken up into heaven. ²⁶ 

[8:56]  ¹ tn Heb “he has given a resting place to his people Israel.”

[8:56]  ² tn Heb “not one word from his entire good word he spoke by Moses his servant has fallen.”

[22:6]  ³ tn Heb “blessed.” However, see v. 8, where rewards are given.

[22:6]  ⁴ tn Heb “and they went to their tents.”

[22:2]  ⁵ tn Heb “You have kept all which Moses, the Lord’s servant, commanded you, and you have listened to my voice, to all which I commanded you.”

[6:18]  ⁶ tn Heb “Only you keep [away] from what is set apart [to the Lord] so that you might not, as you are setting [it] apart, take some of what is set apart [to the Lord] and make the camp of Israel set apart [to destruction by the Lord] and bring trouble on it.”

[6:1]  ⁷ map For location see Map5 B2; Map6 E1; Map7 E1; Map8 E3; Map10 A2; Map11 A1.

[6:1]  ⁸ tn Heb “was shutting and shut up.” HALOT 2:743 paraphrases, “blocking [any way of access] and blocked [against any who would leave].”

[6:1]  ⁹ tn Heb “there was no one going out and there was no one coming in.”

[16:2]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “it”; the referent (the southern border) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[16:2]  ¹¹ tn In the Hebrew text the place name “Luz” has the directive ending, indicating that the border went from Bethel to Luz. Elsewhere Luz and Bethel appear to be names for the same site (cf. Judg 1:23), but here they appear to be distinct. Note that the NIV translates “from Bethel (that is, Luz)” here, following the reading of the LXX, εἰς Βαιθηλ Λουζα (eis Baiqhl Louza, “from Bethel [Luz]”).

[16:2]  ¹² tn Heb “it”; the referent (the southern border) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[16:2]  ¹³ tn In the Hebrew text the place name “Luz” has the directive ending, indicating that the border went from Bethel to Luz. Elsewhere Luz and Bethel appear to be names for the same site (cf. Judg 1:23), but here they appear to be distinct. Note that the NIV translates “from Bethel (that is, Luz)” here, following the reading of the LXX, εἰς Βαιθηλ Λουζα (eis Baiqhl Louza, “from Bethel [Luz]”).

[6:3]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “and go around the city, all [you] men of war, encircling the city one time.” The Hebrew verb וְסַבֹּתֶם (vÿsabbotem, “and go around”) is plural, being addressed to the whole army.

[1:18]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “any man who rebels against your mouth and does not listen to your words, to all which you command us, will be put to death.”

[1:18]  ¹⁶ tn Or “Only.” Here and in v. 17 this word qualifies what precedes (see also v. 7).

[118:26]  ¹⁷ sn The people refer here to the psalmist, who enters the Lord’s temple to thank him publicly (see vv. 19-21), as the one who comes in the name of the Lord.

[118:26]  ¹⁸ tn The pronominal suffix is second masculine plural, but the final mem (ם) is probably dittographic (note the mem [מ] at the beginning of the following form) or enclitic, in which case the suffix may be taken as second masculine singular, referring to the psalmist.

[118:26]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “from the house of the Lord.”

[24:50]  ²⁰ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[24:50]  ²¹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[24:50]  ²² sn Bethany was village on the Mount of Olives about 2 mi (3 km) from Jerusalem; see John 11:1, 18.

[24:51]  ²³ 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.

[24:51]  ²⁴ tn Grk “while he blessed them.”

[24:51]  ²⁵ tn Grk “he departed from them.”

[24:51]  ²⁶ tc The reference to the ascension (“and was taken up into heaven”) is lacking in א* D it sy^s, but it is found in Ì⁷⁵ and the rest of the ms tradition. The authenticity of the statement here seems to be presupposed in Acts 1:2, for otherwise it is difficult to account for Luke’s reference to the ascension there.
