Luke 24:46

24:46 and said to them, “Thus it stands written that the Christ ¹  would suffer ²  and would rise from the dead on the third day,

Luke 24:7

24:7 that ³  the Son of Man must be delivered ⁴  into the hands of sinful men, ⁵  and be crucified, ⁶  and on the third day rise again.” ⁷ 

[24:46]  ¹ tn Or “Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”

[24:46]  ² tn Three Greek infinitives are the key to this summary: (1) to suffer, (2) to rise, and (3) to be preached. The Christ (Messiah) would be slain, would be raised, and a message about repentance would go out into all the world as a result. All of this was recorded in the scripture. The remark shows the continuity between Jesus’ ministry, the scripture, and what disciples would be doing as they declared the Lord risen.

[24:7]  ³ tn Grk “saying that,” but this would be redundant in English. Although the translation represents this sentence as indirect discourse, the Greek could equally be taken as direct discourse: “Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee: ‘the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’”

[24:7]  ⁴ tn See Luke 9:22, 44; 13:33.

[24:7]  ⁵ tn Because in the historical context the individuals who were primarily responsible for the death of Jesus (the Jewish leadership in Jerusalem in Luke’s view [see Luke 9:22]) would have been men, the translation “sinful men” for ἀνθρώπων ἁμαρτωλῶν (anqrwpwn Jamartwlwn) is retained here.

[24:7]  ⁶ sn See the note on crucify in 23:21.

[24:7]  ⁷ tn Here the infinitive ἀναστῆναι (anasthnai) is active rather than passive.
