Luke 22:3

22:3 Then ¹  Satan ²  entered Judas, the one called Iscariot, who was one of the twelve. ³ 

Luke 12:28

12:28 And if ⁴  this is how God clothes the wild grass, ⁵  which is here ⁶  today and tomorrow is tossed into the fire to heat the oven, ⁷  how much more ⁸  will he clothe you, you people of little faith!

Luke 23:7

23:7 When ⁹  he learned that he was from Herod’s jurisdiction, ¹⁰  he sent him over to Herod, ¹¹  who also happened to be in Jerusalem ¹²  at that time.

[22:3]  ¹ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[22:3]  ² sn The cross is portrayed as part of the cosmic battle between Satan and God; see Luke 4:1-13; 11:14-23.

[22:3]  ³ tn Grk “Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.”

[12:28]  ⁴ tn This is a first class condition in the Greek text.

[12:28]  ⁵ tn Grk “grass in the field.”

[12:28]  ⁶ tn Grk “which is in the field today.”

[12:28]  ⁷ tn Grk “into the oven.” The expanded translation “into the fire to heat the oven” has been used to avoid misunderstanding; most items put into modern ovens are put there to be baked, not burned.

[12:28]  ⁸ sn The phrase how much more is a typical form of rabbinic argumentation, from the lesser to the greater. If God cares for the little things, surely he will care for the more important things.

[23:7]  ⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[23:7]  ⁸ sn Learning that Jesus was from Galilee and therefore part of Herod’s jurisdiction, Pilate decided to rid himself of the problem by sending him to Herod.

[23:7]  ⁹ sn Herod was Herod Antipas, son of Herod the Great. See the note on Herod in 3:1.

[23:7]  ¹⁰ sn Herod would probably have come to Jerusalem for the feast, although his father was only half Jewish (Josephus, Ant. 14.15.2 [14.403]). Josephus does mention Herod’s presence in Jerusalem during a feast (Ant. 18.5.3 [18.122]).
