Luke 10:5-6

10:5 Whenever ¹⁰  you enter a house, ¹¹  first say, ‘May peace ¹²  be on this house!’ 10:6 And if a peace-loving person ¹³  is there, your peace will remain on him, but if not, it will return to you. ¹⁴ 

[9:19]  ¹ tn Heb “and he came to them.”

[9:19]  ² tc The MT has simply “peace,” omitting the prefixed interrogative particle. It is likely that the particle has been accidentally omitted; several ancient witnesses include it or assume its presence.

[9:1]  ³ tn Heb “one of the sons of the prophets.”

[9:1]  ⁴ tn Or “flask.”

[17:22]  ⁵ tn Heb “turn away from.”

[2:15]  ⁸ tn Heb “and the sons of the prophets who were in Jericho, [who were standing] opposite, saw him and said.”

[2:15]  ⁹ tn Heb “the spirit of Elijah.”

[10:5]  ¹⁰ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[10:5]  ¹¹ tn Grk “Into whatever house you enter.” This acts as a distributive, meaning every house they enter; this is expressed more naturally in English as “whenever you enter a house.”

[10:5]  ¹² sn The statement ‘May peace be on this house!’ is really a benediction, asking for God’s blessing. The requested shalom (peace) is understood as coming from God.

[10:6]  ¹³ tn Grk “a son of peace,” a Hebrew idiom for a person of a certain class or kind, as specified by the following genitive construction (in this case, “of peace”). Such constructions are discussed further in L&N 9.4. Here the expression refers to someone who responds positively to the disciples’ message, like “wisdom’s child” in Luke 7:30.

[10:6]  ¹⁴ sn The response to these messengers determines how God’s blessing is bestowed – if they are not welcomed with peace, their blessing will return to them. Jesus shows just how important their mission is by this remark.
