Luke 17:8

17:8 Won’t ⁴  the master ⁵  instead say to him, ‘Get my dinner ready, and make yourself ready ⁶  to serve me while ⁷  I eat and drink. Then ⁸  you may eat and drink’?

[22:20]  ¹ tn The words “he took” are not in the Greek text at this point, but are an understood repetition from v. 19.

[22:20]  ² tn The phrase “after they had eaten” translates the temporal infinitive construction μετὰ τὸ δειπνῆσαι (meta to deipnhsai), where the verb δειπνέω (deipnew) means “to eat a meal” or “to have a meal.”

[22:20]  ³ sn Jesus’ death established the forgiveness promised in the new covenant of Jer 31:31. Jesus is reinterpreting the symbolism of the Passover meal, indicating the presence of a new era.

[17:8]  ⁴ tn The question includes a Greek particle, οὐχί (ouci), that expects a positive reply. The slave is expected to prepare a meal before eating himself.

[17:8]  ⁵ tn Grk “he”; the referent has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[17:8]  ⁶ tn Grk “and gird yourself” (with an apron or towel, in preparation for service).

[17:8]  ⁷ tn BDAG 423 s.v. ἕως 2.b, “to denote contemporaneousness as long as, while… w. subjunctive… Lk 17:8.”
