Luke 23:6

Jesus Brought Before Herod

23:6 Now when Pilate heard this, he asked whether the man was a Galilean.

[2:18]  ¹ tn Grk “marveled.” It is a hard word to translate with one term in this context. There is a mixture of amazement and pondering at work in considering the surprising events here. See Luke 1:21, 63; 2:33.

[2:47]  ² tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[2:47]  ³ sn There was wonder (all who heard…were astonished) that Jesus at such a young age could engage in such a discussion. The fact that this story is told of a preteen hints that Jesus was someone special.

[4:28]  ³ tn The words “the people” are not in the Greek text but have been supplied.

[15:1]  ⁴ sn See the note on tax collectors in 3:12.

[15:1]  ⁵ tn Grk “were drawing near.”

[16:14]  ⁵ sn See the note on Pharisees in 5:17.

[16:14]  ⁶ tn A figurative extension of the literal meaning “to turn one’s nose up at someone”; here “ridicule, sneer at, show contempt for” (L&N 33.409).

[16:29]  ⁶ tn Grk “says.” This is one of the few times Luke uses the historical present.

[16:29]  ⁷ tn Or “obey”; Grk “hear.” This recalls the many OT texts calling for a righteous heart to respond to people in need (Deut 14:28-29; Isa 3:14-15; Amos 2:6-8; Mic 2:1-2; Zech 7:9-10).

[18:6]  ⁷ sn Listen to what the unrighteous judge says! The point of the parable is that the judge’s lack of compassion was overcome by the widow’s persistence.

[18:23]  ⁸ tn Grk “he”; the referent (the man) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[18:23]  ⁹ tn Or “very distressed” (L&N 25.277).

[18:26]  ⁹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of thought.

[18:26]  ¹⁰ sn The assumption is that the rich are blessed, so if they risk exclusion, who is left to be saved?

[20:45]  ¹⁰ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[20:45]  ¹¹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[21:38]  ¹¹ sn Jesus’ teaching was still quite popular with all the people at this point despite the leaders’ opposition.

[21:38]  ¹² tc Some mss (those of ˹³) place John 7:53-8:11 here after v. 38, no doubt because it was felt that this was a better setting for the pericope.
