Luke 20:18

20:18 Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, ¹  and the one on whom it falls will be crushed.” ² 

Luke 18:14

18:14 I tell you that this man went down to his home justified ³  rather than the Pharisee. ⁴  For everyone who exalts ⁵  himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

[20:18]  ¹ tn On this term, see BDAG 972 s.v. συνθλάω.

[20:18]  ² tn Grk “on whomever it falls, it will crush him.”

[18:14]  ³ sn The prayer that was heard and honored was the one given with humility; in a surprising reversal it was the tax collector who went down to his home justified.

[18:14]  ⁴ tn Grk “the other”; the referent (the Pharisee, v. 10) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[18:14]  ⁵ sn Everyone who exalts himself. See Luke 14:11. Jesus often called for humility and condemned those who sought honor.
