Luke 17:30

17:30 It will be the same on the day the Son of Man is revealed.

Luke 2:35

2:35 Indeed, as a result of him the thoughts ¹  of many hearts will be revealed ²  – and a sword ³  will pierce your own soul as well!” ⁴ 

Luke 12:2

12:2 Nothing is hidden ⁵  that will not be revealed, ⁶  and nothing is secret that will not be made known.

Luke 10:21-22

10:21 On that same occasion ⁷  Jesus ⁸  rejoiced ⁹  in the Holy Spirit and said, “I praise ¹⁰  you, Father, Lord ¹¹  of heaven and earth, because ¹²  you have hidden these things from the wise ¹³  and intelligent, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was your gracious will. ¹⁴  10:22 All things have been given to me by my Father. ¹⁵  No one knows who the Son is except the Father, or who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son decides ¹⁶  to reveal him.”

[2:35]  ¹ tn Or “reasonings” (in a hostile sense). See G. Schrenk, TDNT 2:97.

[2:35]  ² sn The remark the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed shows that how people respond to Jesus indicates where their hearts really are before God.

[2:35]  ³ sn A sword refers to a very large, broad two-edged sword. The language is figurative, picturing great pain. Though it refers in part to the cross, it really includes the pain all of Jesus’ ministry will cause, including the next event in Luke 2:41-52 and extending to the opposition he faced throughout his ministry.

[2:35]  ⁴ sn This remark looks to be parenthetical and addressed to Mary alone, not the nation. Many modern English translations transpose this to make it the final clause in Simeon’s utterance as above to make this clear.

[12:2]  ¹ tn Or “concealed.”

[12:2]  ² sn I.e., be revealed by God. The passive voice verbs here (“be revealed,” be made known”) see the revelation as coming from God. The text is both a warning about bad things being revealed and an encouragement that good things will be made known, though the stress with the images of darkness and what is hidden in vv. 2-3 is on the attempt to conceal.

[10:21]  ¹ tn Grk “In that same hour” (L&N 67.1).

[10:21]  ² tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[10:21]  ³ sn Jesus rejoiced. The account of the mission in 10:1-24 ends with several remarks about joy.

[10:21]  ⁴ tn Or “thank.”

[10:21]  ⁵ sn The title Lord is an important name for God, showing his sovereignty, but it is interesting that it comes next to a reference to the Father, a term indicative of God’s care. The two concepts are often related in the NT; see Eph 1:3-6.

[10:21]  ⁶ tn Or “that.”

[10:21]  ⁷ sn See 1 Cor 1:26-31.

[10:21]  ⁸ tn Grk “for (to do) thus was well pleasing before you,” BDAG 325 s.v. ἔμπροσθεν 1.δ; speaking of something taking place “before” God is a reverential way of avoiding direct connection of the action to him.

[10:22]  ¹ sn This verse has been noted for its conceptual similarity to teaching in John’s Gospel (10:15; 17:2). The authority of the Son and the Father are totally intertwined.

[10:22]  ² tn Or “wishes”; or “intends”; or “plans” (cf. BDAG 182 s.v. βούλομαι 2.b). Here it is the Son who has sovereignty.
