Luke 21:15
Context21:15 For I will give you the words 1 along with the wisdom 2 that none of your adversaries will be able to withstand or contradict.
Jeremiah 17:10
Context17:10 I, the Lord, probe into people’s minds.
I examine people’s hearts. 3
I deal with each person according to how he has behaved.
I give them what they deserve based on what they have done.


[21:15] 1 tn Grk “a mouth.” It is a metonymy and refers to the reply the Lord will give to them.
[21:15] 2 tn Grk “and wisdom.”
[17:10] 3 tn The term rendered “mind” here and in the previous verse is actually the Hebrew word for “heart.” However, in combination with the word rendered “heart” in the next line, which is the Hebrew for “kidneys,” it is best rendered “mind” because the “heart” was considered the center of intellect, conscience, and will and the “kidneys” the center of emotions.
