Luke 24:29

24:29 but they urged him, ⁶  “Stay with us, because it is getting toward evening and the day is almost done.” So ⁷  he went in to stay with them.

[23:29]  ¹ tn Grk “For behold.”

[23:29]  ² tn Grk “Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that have not borne, and the breasts that have not nursed!”

[24:1]  ³ sn The first day of the week is the day after the Sabbath.

[24:1]  ⁴ tn Grk “they”; the referent (the women mentioned in 23:55) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[24:1]  ⁵ tn On this term see BDAG 140-41 s.v. ἄρωμα. See also the note on “aromatic spices” in 23:56.

[24:29]  ⁵ tn Grk “urged him, saying.” The participle λέγοντες (legontes, “saying”) has not been translated because it is redundant in contemporary English.

[24:29]  ⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the disciples’ request.
