Luke 19:44

[4:11]  ¹ sn A quotation from Ps 91:12.

[24:2]  ² tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[24:2]  ³ sn Luke tells the story of the empty tomb with little drama. He simply notes that when they arrived the stone had been rolled away in a position where the tomb could be entered. This large stone was often placed in a channel so that it could be easily moved by rolling it aside. The other possibility is that it was merely placed over the opening in a position from which it had now been moved.

[19:44]  ³ tn Grk “They will raze you to the ground.”

[19:44]  ⁴ tn Grk “your children within you.” The phrase “[your] walls” has been supplied in the translation to clarify that the city of Jerusalem, metaphorically pictured as an individual, is spoken of here.

[19:44]  ⁵ sn (Not) one stone on top of another is an idiom for total destruction.

[19:44]  ⁶ tn Grk “leave stone on stone.”

[19:44]  ⁷ tn Grk “the time of your visitation.” To clarify what this refers to, the words “from God” are supplied at the end of the verse, although they do not occur in the Greek text.

[20:18]  ⁴ tn On this term, see BDAG 972 s.v. συνθλάω.

[20:18]  ⁵ tn Grk “on whomever it falls, it will crush him.”

[20:17]  ⁵ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[20:17]  ⁶ tn Or “capstone,” “keystone.” Although these meanings are lexically possible, the imagery in Eph 2:20-22 and 1 Cor 3:11 indicates that the term κεφαλὴ γωνίας (kefalh gwnia") refers to a cornerstone, not a capstone.
