Luke 2:20

2:20 So ¹  the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising ²  God for all they had heard and seen; everything was just as they had been told. ³ 

Luke 9:43

9:43 Then ⁴  they were all astonished at the mighty power ⁵  of God.

Another Prediction of Jesus’ Suffering

But while the entire crowd ⁶  was amazed at everything Jesus ⁷  was doing, he said to his disciples,

Luke 24:25

24:25 So ⁸  he said to them, “You ⁹  foolish people ¹⁰  – how slow of heart ¹¹  to believe ¹²  all that the prophets have spoken!

[2:20]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the conclusion of the topic.

[2:20]  ² sn The mention of glorifying and praising God is the second note of praise in this section; see Luke 2:13-14.

[2:20]  ³ tn Grk “just as [it] had been spoken to them.” This has been simplified in the English translation by making the prepositional phrase (“to them”) the subject of the passive verb.

[9:43]  ⁴ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the response at the conclusion of the account.

[9:43]  ⁵ sn The revelation of the mighty power of God was the manifestation of God’s power shown through Jesus. See Acts 10:38.

[9:43]  ⁶ tn Grk “all”; the referent (the crowd) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[9:43]  ⁷ tc Most mss, especially the later ones (A C W Θ Ψ 0115 ˹³ 33 892 Ï al), actually supply ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς (Jo Ihsous, “Jesus”) here. Since the earliest and best witnesses, along with many others (Ì⁷⁵ א B D L Ξ Ë¹ 579 700 1241 2542 pc lat), lack the name, and since scribes were unlikely to intentionally omit it, the shorter reading is preferred as the original reading.

[24:25]  ⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the disciples’ inability to believe in Jesus’ resurrection.

[24:25]  ⁸ tn Grk “O,” an interjection used both in address and emotion (BDAG 1101 s.v. 1).

[24:25]  ⁹ tn The word “people” is not in the Greek text, but is supplied to complete the interjection.

[24:25]  ¹⁰ sn The rebuke is for failure to believe the promise of scripture, a theme that will appear in vv. 43-47 as well.

[24:25]  ¹¹ tn On the syntax of this infinitival construction, see BDAG 364-65 s.v. ἐπί 6.b.
