Luke 2:50-52

2:50 Yet ¹  his parents ²  did not understand ³  the remark ⁴  he made ⁵  to them. 2:51 Then ⁶  he went down with them and came to Nazareth, ⁷  and was obedient ⁸  to them. But ⁹  his mother kept all these things ¹⁰  in her heart. ¹¹ 

2:52 And Jesus increased ¹²  in wisdom and in stature, and in favor with God and with people.

[2:50]  ¹ tn Grk “And they.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “yet” to indicate the contrast.

[2:50]  ² tn Grk “they”; the referent (his parents) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[2:50]  ³ sn This was the first of many times those around Jesus did not understand what he was saying at the time (9:45; 10:21-24; 18:34).

[2:50]  ⁴ tn Or “the matter.”

[2:50]  ⁵ tn Grk “which he spoke.”

[2:51]  ⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[2:51]  ⁷ map For location see Map1 D3; Map2 C2; Map3 D5; Map4 C1; Map5 G3.

[2:51]  ⁸ tn Or “was submitting.”

[2:51]  ⁹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast.

[2:51]  ¹⁰ tn Or “all these words.”

[2:51]  ¹¹ sn On the phrase his mother kept all these things in her heart compare Luke 2:19.

[2:52]  ¹² tn Or “kept increasing.” The imperfect tense suggests something of a progressive force to the verb.
