Luke 10:20

10:20 Nevertheless, do not rejoice that ¹  the spirits submit to you, but rejoice ²  that your names stand written ³  in heaven.”

Luke 23:48

23:48 And all the crowds that had assembled for this spectacle, when they saw what had taken place, returned home beating their breasts. ⁴ 

[10:20]  ¹ tn Grk “do not rejoice in this, that.” This is awkward in contemporary English and has been simplified to “do not rejoice that.”

[10:20]  ² tn The verb here is a present imperative, so the call is to an attitude of rejoicing.

[10:20]  ³ tn The verb here, a perfect tense, stresses a present reality of that which was a completed action, that is, their names were etched in the heavenly stone, as it were.

[23:48]  ⁴ sn Some apparently regretted what had taken place. Beating their breasts was a sign of lamentation.
