Luke 13:31

Going to Jerusalem

13:31 At that time, ¹  some Pharisees ²  came up and said to Jesus, ³  “Get away from here, ⁴  because Herod ⁵  wants to kill you.”

Luke 19:4

19:4 So ⁶  he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree ⁷  to see him, because Jesus ⁸  was going to pass that way.

[13:31]  ¹ tn Grk “At that very hour.”

[13:31]  ² sn See the note on Pharisees in 5:17.

[13:31]  ³ tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[13:31]  ⁴ tn Grk “Go away and leave from here,” which is redundant in English and has been shortened to “Get away from here.”

[13:31]  ⁵ sn Herod refers here to Herod Antipas. See the note on Herod Antipas in 3:1.

[19:4]  ⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of Zacchaeus not being able to see over the crowd.

[19:4]  ⁷ sn A sycamore tree would have large branches near the ground like an oak tree and would be fairly easy to climb. These trees reach a height of some 50 ft (about 15 m).

[19:4]  ⁸ tn Grk “that one”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
