Luke 21:37

21:37 So ¹  every day Jesus ²  was teaching in the temple courts, ³  but at night he went and stayed ⁴  on the Mount of Olives. ⁵ 

Luke 22:47

Betrayal and Arrest

22:47 While he was still speaking, suddenly a crowd appeared, ⁶  and the man named Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He walked up ⁷  to Jesus to kiss him. ⁸ 

[21:37]  ¹ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” since vv. 37-38 serve as something of a summary or transition from the discourse preceding to the passion narrative that follows.

[21:37]  ² tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[21:37]  ³ tn Grk “in the temple.”

[21:37]  ⁴ tn Grk “and spent the night,” but this is redundant because of the previous use of the word “night.”

[21:37]  ⁵ tn Grk “at the mountain called ‘of Olives.’”

[22:47]  ⁶ tn Grk “While he was still speaking, behold, a crowd, and the one called Judas…was leading them.” The abrupt appearance of the crowd on the scene is indicated in the translation by “suddenly” and “appeared.”

[22:47]  ⁷ tn Grk “drew near.”

[22:47]  ⁸ tc Many mss (D Θ Ë¹³ 700 pm as well as several versional mss) add here, “for this is the sign he gave to them: Whoever I kiss is [the one].” This addition is almost certainly not original, since most of the important mss lack it. It may be a copyist’s attempt to clarify the text, or the accidental inclusion of a marginal gloss.
