Luke 14:11

14:11 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but ¹  the one who humbles ²  himself will be exalted.”

Luke 1:52

1:52 He has brought down the mighty ³  from their thrones, and has lifted up those of lowly position; ⁴ 

[14:11]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context, which involves the reversal of expected roles.

[14:11]  ² sn The point of the statement the one who humbles himself will be exalted is humility and the reversal imagery used to underline it is common: Luke 1:52-53; 6:21; 10:15; 18:14.

[1:52]  ³ tn Or “rulers.”

[1:52]  ⁴ tn Or “those of humble position”
