Luke 2:21

2:21 At ¹  the end of eight days, when he was circumcised, he was named Jesus, the name given by the angel ²  before he was conceived in the womb.

Luke 11:9

11:9 “So ³  I tell you: Ask, ⁴  and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door ⁵  will be opened for you.

Luke 20:35

20:35 But those who are regarded as worthy to share in ⁶  that age and in the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage. ⁷ 

[2:21]  ¹ tn Grk “And when eight days were completed.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[2:21]  ² sn Jesus’ parents obeyed the angel as Zechariah and Elizabeth had (1:57-66). These events are taking place very much under God’s direction.

[11:9]  ³ tn Here καί (kai, from καγώ [kagw]) has been translated as “so” to indicate the conclusion drawn from the preceding parable.

[11:9]  ⁴ sn The three present imperatives in this verse (Ask…seek…knock) are probably intended to call for a repeated or continual approach before God.

[11:9]  ⁵ tn Grk “it”; the referent (a door) is implied by the context and has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[20:35]  ⁵ tn Grk “to attain to.”

[20:35]  ⁶ sn Life in the age to come is different than life here (they neither marry nor are given in marriage). This means Jesus’ questioners had made a false assumption that life was the same both now and in the age to come.
