Luke 10:6

10:6 And if a peace-loving person ¹  is there, your peace will remain on him, but if not, it will return to you. ² 

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 

[10:6]  ¹ 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]  ² 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.

[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).
