Luke 13:35

13:35 Look, your house is forsaken! ¹  And I tell you, you will not see me until you say, ‘Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!’” ² 

Luke 18:22

18:22 When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “One thing you still lack. Sell all that you have ³  and give the money ⁴  to the poor, ⁵  and you will have treasure ⁶  in heaven. Then ⁷  come, follow me.”

[13:35]  ¹ sn Your house is forsaken. The language here is from Jer 12:7 and 22:5. It recalls exilic judgment.

[13:35]  ² sn A quotation from Ps 118:26. The judgment to come will not be lifted until the Lord returns. See Luke 19:41-44.

[18:22]  ³ sn See Luke 14:33.

[18:22]  ⁴ tn The words “the money” are not in the Greek text, but are implied. Direct objects were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

[18:22]  ⁵ sn See Luke 1:50-53; 6:20-23; 14:12-14.

[18:22]  ⁶ sn The call for sacrifice comes with a promise of eternal reward: …you will have treasure in heaven. Jesus’ call is a test to see how responsive the man is to God’s direction through him. Will he walk the path God’s agent calls him to walk? For a rich person who got it right, see Zacchaeus in Luke 19:1-10.

[18:22]  ⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the conversation.
