Luke 24:9

24:9 and when they returned from the tomb they told all these things to the eleven ¹  and to all the rest.

Luke 8:10

8:10 He ²  said, “You have been given ³  the opportunity to know ⁴  the secrets ⁵  of the kingdom of God, ⁶  but for others they are in parables, so that although they see they may not see, and although they hear they may not understand. ⁷ 

[24:9]  ¹ sn Judas is now absent and “the twelve” have now become “the eleven.” Other disciples are also gathered with the remaining eleven.

[8:10]  ² tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[8:10]  ³ tn This is an example of a so-called “divine passive,” with God understood to be the source of the revelation (see ExSyn 437-38).

[8:10]  ⁴ tn Grk “it has been given to you to know.” The dative pronoun occurs first, in emphatic position in the Greek text, although this position is awkward in contemporary English.

[8:10]  ⁵ tn Grk “the mysteries.”

[8:10]  ⁶ sn The kingdom of God is a major theme of Jesus. It is a realm in which Jesus rules and to which those who trust him belong. See Luke 6:20; 11:20; 17:20-21.

[8:10]  ⁷ sn A quotation from Isa 6:9. Thus parables both conceal or reveal depending on whether one is open to hearing what they teach.
