Luke 22:24

22:24 A dispute also started ¹  among them over which of them was to be regarded as the greatest. ² 

Luke 10:36

10:36 Which of these three do you think became a neighbor ³  to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?”

Luke 8:18

8:18 So listen carefully, ⁴  for whoever has will be given more, but ⁵  whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has ⁶  will be taken from him.”

[22:24]  ¹ tn Or “happened.”

[22:24]  ² tn Though the term μείζων (meizwn) here is comparative in form, it is superlative in sense (BDF §244).

[10:36]  ³ sn Jesus reversed the question the expert in religious law asked in v. 29 to one of becoming a neighbor by loving. “Do not think about who they are, but who you are,” was his reply.

[8:18]  ⁵ tn Or “Therefore pay close attention”; Grk “Take heed therefore how you hear.”

[8:18]  ⁶ tn Grk “and.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[8:18]  ⁷ sn The phrase what he thinks he has is important, because it is not what a person thinks he has that is important but whether he actually has something or not. Jesus describes the person who does not heed his word as having nothing. The person who has nothing loses even that which he thought was something but was not. In other words, he has absolutely nothing at all. Jesus’ teaching must be taken seriously.
