Luke 12:14

12:14 But Jesus ¹  said to him, “Man, ²  who made me a judge or arbitrator between you two?” ³ 

Luke 18:2

18:2 He said, ⁴  “In a certain city ⁵  there was a judge ⁶  who neither feared God nor respected people. ⁷ 

[12:14]  ¹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[12:14]  ² tn This term of address can be harsh or gentle depending on the context (BDAG 82 s.v. ἄνθρωπος 8). Here it is a rebuke.

[12:14]  ³ tn The pronoun ὑμᾶς (Jumas) is plural, referring to both the man and his brother; thus the translation “you two.”

[18:2]  ⁴ tn Grk “lose heart, saying.” This is a continuation of the previous sentence in the Greek text, but a new sentence was started here in the translation by supplying the pronominal subject “He.”

[18:2]  ⁵ tn Or “town.”

[18:2]  ⁶ sn The judge here is apparently portrayed as a civil judge who often handled financial cases.

[18:2]  ⁷ tn Grk “man,” but the singular ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") is used as a generic in comparison to God.
