2:39 So ¹  when Joseph and Mary ²  had performed ³  everything according to the law of the Lord, ⁴  they returned to Galilee, to their own town ⁵  of Nazareth. ⁶ 

Luke 11:22

11:22 But ⁷  when a stronger man ⁸  attacks ⁹  and conquers him, he takes away the first man’s ¹⁰  armor on which the man relied ¹¹  and divides up ¹²  his plunder. ¹³ 

Luke 24:48

24:48 You are witnesses ¹⁴  of these things.

[2:39]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the conclusion of the topic.

[2:39]  ² tn Grk “when they”; the referents (Joseph and Mary) have been specified in the translation for clarity.

[2:39]  ³ tn Or “completed.”

[2:39]  ⁴ sn On the phrase the law of the Lord see Luke 2:22-23.

[2:39]  ⁵ tn Or “city.”

[2:39]  ⁶ map For location see Map1 D3; Map2 C2; Map3 D5; Map4 C1; Map5 G3.

[11:22]  ⁷ tn Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[11:22]  ⁸ tn The referent of the expression “a stronger man” is Jesus.

[11:22]  ⁹ tn Grk “stronger man than he attacks.”

[11:22]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “his”; the referent (the first man mentioned) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[11:22]  ¹¹ tn Grk “on which he relied.”

[11:22]  ¹² tn Or “and distributes.”

[11:22]  ¹³ sn Some see the imagery here as similar to Eph 4:7-10, although no opponents are explicitly named in that passage. Jesus has the victory over Satan. Jesus’ acts of healing mean that the war is being won and the kingdom is coming.

[24:48]  ¹³ sn You are witnesses. This becomes a key concept of testimony in Acts. See Acts 1:8.
