Luke 19:29

19:29 Now ¹  when he approached Bethphage ²  and Bethany, at the place called the Mount of Olives, ³  he sent two of the disciples,

Luke 21:37

21:37 So ⁴  every day Jesus ⁵  was teaching in the temple courts, ⁶  but at night he went and stayed ⁷  on the Mount of Olives. ⁸ 

Luke 22:39

On the Mount of Olives

22:39 Then ⁹  Jesus ¹⁰  went out and made his way, ¹¹  as he customarily did, to the Mount of Olives, ¹²  and the disciples followed him.

Luke 19:37

19:37 As he approached the road leading down from ¹³  the Mount of Olives, ¹⁴  the whole crowd of his ¹⁵  disciples began to rejoice ¹⁶  and praise ¹⁷  God with a loud voice for all the mighty works ¹⁸  they had seen: ¹⁹ 

[19:29]  ¹ tn Grk “And it happened that when.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated. Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.

[19:29]  ² sn The exact location of the village of Bethphage is not known. Most locate it on the southeast side of the Mount of Olives and northwest of Bethany, about 1.5 miles (3 km) east of Jerusalem.

[19:29]  ³ tn Grk “at the mountain called ‘of Olives.’” This form of reference is awkward in contemporary English, so the more familiar “Mount of Olives” has been used in the translation.

[21:37]  ⁴ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” since vv. 37-38 serve as something of a summary or transition from the discourse preceding to the passion narrative that follows.

[21:37]  ⁵ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[21:37]  ⁶ tn Grk “in the temple.”

[21:37]  ⁷ tn Grk “and spent the night,” but this is redundant because of the previous use of the word “night.”

[21:37]  ⁸ tn Grk “at the mountain called ‘of Olives.’”

[22:39]  ⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[22:39]  ⁸ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:39]  ⁹ tn Grk “went.”

[22:39]  ¹⁰ sn See the note on the Mount of Olives in Luke 19:29.

[19:37]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “the descent of”; this could refer to either the slope of the hillside itself or the path leading down from it (the second option has been adopted for the translation, see L&N 15.109).

[19:37]  ¹¹ sn See the note on the name Mount of Olives in v. 29.

[19:37]  ¹² tn Grk “the”; the Greek article has been translated here as a possessive pronoun (ExSyn 215).

[19:37]  ¹³ tn Here the participle χαίροντες (caironte") has been translated as a finite verb in English; it could also be translated adverbially as a participle of manner: “began to praise God joyfully.”

[19:37]  ¹⁴ sn See 2:13, 20; Acts 2:47; 3:8-9.

[19:37]  ¹⁵ tn Or “works of power,” “miracles.” Jesus’ ministry of miracles is what has drawn attention. See Luke 7:22.

[19:37]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “they had seen, saying.” The participle λέγοντες (legontes) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.
