Luke 22:29

22:29 Thus ¹⁹  I grant ²⁰  to you a kingdom, ²¹  just as my Father granted to me,

[1:8]  ¹ tn Grk “Now it happened that.” 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.

[1:8]  ² tn Grk “he”; the referent (Zechariah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[1:8]  ³ tn Grk “serving as priest in the order of his division before God.”

[1:65]  ⁴ tn Grk “And all.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[11:6]  ⁷ tn Grk “has come to me from the road.”

[11:6]  ⁸ sn The background to the statement I have nothing to set before him is that in ancient Middle Eastern culture it was a matter of cultural honor to be a good host to visitors.

[12:49]  ¹⁰ sn This mission statement, “I have come to bring fire on the earth,” looks to the purging and division Jesus causes: See Luke 3:9, 17; 9:54; 17:29 for fire, 5:32; 7:34; 9:58; 12:51 for the topic of mission.

[12:49]  ¹¹ tn Grk “cast.” For βάλλω (ballw) in the sense of causing a state or condition, see L&N 13.14.

[17:16]  ¹³ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[17:16]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “he fell on his face” (an idiom for complete prostration).

[17:16]  ¹⁵ sn And thanked him. This action recognized God’s healing work through Jesus.

[17:16]  ¹⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the introduction of a parenthetical comment.

[17:16]  ¹⁷ sn This is a parenthetical note by the author. The comment that the man was a Samaritan means that to most Jews of Jesus’ day he would have been despised as a half-breed and a heretic. The note adds a touch of irony to the account (v. 18).

[19:48]  ¹⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[19:48]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “they did not find the thing that they might do.”

[19:48]  ¹⁸ sn All the people hung on his words is an idiom for intent, eager listening. Jesus’ popularity and support made it unwise for the leadership to seize him.

[22:7]  ¹⁹ tn The words “for the feast” are not in the Greek text, but have been supplied for clarity.

[22:7]  ²⁰ sn Generally the feast of Unleavened Bread would refer to Nisan 15 (Friday), but the following reference to the sacrifice of the Passover lamb indicates that Nisan 14 (Thursday) was what Luke had in mind (Nisan = March 27 to April 25). The celebration of the Feast of Unleavened Bread lasted eight days, beginning with the Passover meal. The celebrations were so close together that at times the names of both were used interchangeably.

[22:29]  ²² tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “thus” to indicate the implied result of the disciples’ perseverance with Jesus.

[22:29]  ²³ sn With the statement “I grant to you a kingdom” Jesus gave the disciples authority over the kingdom, as God had given him such authority. The present tense looks at authority given presently, though the major manifestation of its presence is yet to come as the next verse shows.

[22:29]  ²⁴ tn Or “I give you the right to rule” (cf. CEV). For this translation of διατίθεμαι βασιλείαν (diatiqemai basileian) see L&N 37.105.
