24:34 and ¹  saying, “The Lord has really risen, and has appeared to Simon!” ² 

Luke 24:6

Luke 9:7

Herod’s Confusion about Jesus

9:7 Now Herod ⁵  the tetrarch ⁶  heard about everything that was happening, and he was thoroughly perplexed, ⁷  because some people were saying that John ⁸  had been raised from the dead,

Luke 7:16

7:16 Fear ⁹  seized them all, and they began to glorify ¹⁰  God, saying, “A great prophet ¹¹  has appeared ¹²  among us!” and “God has come to help ¹³  his people!”

[24:34]  ¹ tn Here the word “and” has been supplied to make it clear that the disciples who had been to Emmaus found the eleven plus the others gathered and saying this.

[24:34]  ² sn The Lord…has appeared to Simon. Jesus had made another appearance besides the one on the road. The excitement was rising. Simon refers to Simon Peter.

[24:6]  ³ tc The phrase “He is not here, but has been raised” is omitted by a few mss (D it), but it has wide ms support and differs slightly from the similar statement in Matt 28:6 and Mark 16:6. Although NA²⁷ places the phrase at the beginning of v. 6, as do most modern English translations, it is omitted from the RSV and placed at the end of v. 5 in the NRSV.

[24:6]  ⁴ sn While he was still in Galilee looks back to the beginning of Jesus’ ministry. So the point is that this was announced long ago, and should come as no surprise.

[9:7]  ⁵ sn Herod refers here to Herod Antipas. See the note on Herod Antipas in 3:1.

[9:7]  ⁶ sn See the note on tetrarch in 3:1.

[9:7]  ⁷ tn Or “was very confused.” See L&N 32.10 where this verse is given as an example of the usage.

[9:7]  ⁸ sn John refers to John the Baptist, whom Herod had beheaded (v. 9).

[7:16]  ⁷ tn Or “Awe.” Grk “fear,” but the context and the following remark show that it is mixed with wonder; see L&N 53.59. This is a reaction to God’s work; see Luke 5:9.

[7:16]  ⁸ tn This imperfect verb has been translated as an ingressive imperfect.

[7:16]  ⁹ sn That Jesus was a great prophet was a natural conclusion for the crowd to make, given the healing; but Jesus is more than this. See Luke 9:8, 19-20.

[7:16]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “arisen.”

[7:16]  ¹¹ tn Grk “visited,” but this conveys a different impression to a modern reader. L&N 85.11 renders the verb, “to be present, with the implication of concern – ‘to be present to help, to be on hand to aid.’ … ‘God has come to help his people’ Lk 7:16.” The language recalls Luke 1:68, 78.
