Luke 2:14

2:14 “Glory ¹  to God in the highest,

and on earth peace among people ²  with whom he is pleased!” ³ 

Luke 2:9

2:9 An ⁴  angel of the Lord ⁵  appeared to ⁶  them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were absolutely terrified. ⁷ 

Luke 19:38

19:38 “Blessed is the king ⁸  who comes in the name of the Lord! ⁹  Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”

Luke 14:10

14:10 But when you are invited, go and take the least important place, so that when your host ¹⁰  approaches he will say to you, ‘Friend, move up here to a better place.’ ¹¹  Then you will be honored in the presence of all who share the meal with you.

[2:14]  ¹ sn Glory here refers to giving honor to God.

[2:14]  ² tn This is a generic use of ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") referring to both males and females.

[2:14]  ³ tc Most witnesses (א² B² L Θ Ξ Ψ Ë^1,13 Ï sy bo) have ἐν ἀνθρώποις εὐδοκία (en anqrwpoi" eudokia, “good will among people”) instead of ἐν ἀνθρώποις εὐδοκίας (en anqrwpoi" eudokia", “among people with whom he is pleased”), a reading attested by א* A B* D W pc (sa). Most of the Itala witnesses and some other versional witnesses reflect a Greek text which has the genitive εὐδοκίας but drops the preposition ἐν. Not only is the genitive reading better attested, but it is more difficult than the nominative. “The meaning seems to be, not that divine peace can be bestowed only where human good will is already present, but that at the birth of the Saviour God’s peace rests on those whom he has chosen in accord with his good pleasure” (TCGNT 111).

[2:9]  ⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[2:9]  ⁵ tn Or “the angel of the Lord.” See the note on the word “Lord” in 1:11.

[2:9]  ⁶ tn Or “stood in front of.”

[2:9]  ⁷ tn Grk “they feared a great fear” (a Semitic idiom which intensifies the main idea, in this case their fear).

[19:38]  ⁷ sn Luke adds the title king to the citation from Ps 118:26 to make clear who was meant (see Luke 18:38). The psalm was used in looking for the deliverance of the end, thus leading to the Pharisees’ reaction.

[19:38]  ⁸ sn A quotation from Ps 118:26.

[14:10]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “the one who invited you.”

[14:10]  ¹¹ tn Grk “Go up higher.” This means to move to a more important place.
