Luke 3:6

3:6 and all humanity ¹  will see the salvation of God.’” ² 

Luke 24:39

24:39 Look at my hands and my feet; it’s me! ³  Touch me and see; a ghost ⁴  does not have flesh and bones like you see I have.”

[3:6]  ¹ tn Grk “all flesh.”

[3:6]  ² sn A quotation from Isa 40:3-5. Though all the synoptic gospels use this citation from Isaiah, only Luke cites the material of vv. 5-6. His goal may well be to get to the declaration of v. 6, where all humanity (i.e., all nations) see God’s salvation (see also Luke 24:47).

[24:39]  ³ tn Grk “that it is I myself.”

[24:39]  ⁴ tn See tc note on “ghost” in v. 37.
