Luke 1:33

1:33 He ¹  will reign over the house of Jacob ²  forever, and his kingdom will never end.”

Luke 18:5

18:5 yet because this widow keeps on bothering me, I will give her justice, or in the end she will wear me out ³  by her unending pleas.’” ⁴ 

Luke 21:9

21:9 And when you hear of wars and rebellions, ⁵  do not be afraid. ⁶  For these things must happen first, but the end will not come at once.” ⁷ 

Luke 22:37

22:37 For I tell you that this scripture must be ⁸  fulfilled in me, ‘And he was counted with the transgressors.’ ⁹  For what is written about me is being fulfilled.” ¹⁰ 

[1:33]  ¹ tn Grk “And he.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style. A new sentence is begun here in the translation because of the length of the sentence in Greek.

[1:33]  ² tn Or “over Israel.”

[18:5]  ³ tn The term ὑπωπιάζω (Jupwpiazw) in this context means “to wear someone out by continual annoying” (L&N 25.245).

[18:5]  ⁴ tn Grk “by her continual coming,” but the point of annoyance to the judge is her constant pleas for justice (v. 3).

[21:9]  ⁵ tn Social and political chaos also precedes the end. This term refers to revolutions (L&N 39.34).

[21:9]  ⁶ tn This is not the usual term for fear, but refers to a deep sense of terror and emotional distress (Luke 24:37; BDAG 895 s.v. πτοέω).

[21:9]  ⁷ sn The end will not come at once. This remark about timing not only indicates that there will be events before the end, but that some time will also pass before it comes.

[22:37]  ⁷ sn This scripture must be fulfilled in me. The statement again reflects the divine necessity of God’s plan. See 4:43-44.

[22:37]  ⁸ tn Or “with the lawless.”

[22:37]  ⁹ tn Grk “is having its fulfillment.”
