Luke 24:7

24:7 that ¹  the Son of Man must be delivered ²  into the hands of sinful men, ³  and be crucified, ⁴  and on the third day rise again.” ⁵ 

Luke 24:21

24:21 But we had hoped ⁶  that he was the one who was going to redeem ⁷  Israel. Not only this, but it is now the third day since these things happened.

Luke 24:46

24:46 and said to them, “Thus it stands written that the Christ ⁸  would suffer ⁹  and would rise from the dead on the third day,

[24:7]  ¹ 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]  ² tn See Luke 9:22, 44; 13:33.

[24:7]  ³ 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]  ⁴ sn See the note on crucify in 23:21.

[24:7]  ⁵ tn Here the infinitive ἀναστῆναι (anasthnai) is active rather than passive.

[24:21]  ⁶ tn The imperfect verb looks back to the view that they held during Jesus’ past ministry.

[24:21]  ⁷ sn Their messianic hope concerning Jesus is expressed by the phrase who was going to redeem Israel.

[24:46]  ⁸ tn Or “Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”

[24:46]  ⁹ 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.
