Luke 4:6

4:6 And he ¹  said to him, “To you ²  I will grant this whole realm ³  – and the glory that goes along with it, ⁴  for it has been relinquished ⁵  to me, and I can give it to anyone I wish.

Luke 9:26

9:26 For whoever is ashamed ⁶  of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of that person ⁷  when he comes in his glory and in the glory ⁸  of the Father and of the holy angels.

Luke 9:32

9:32 Now Peter and those with him were quite sleepy, ⁹  but as they became fully awake, ¹⁰  they saw his glory and the two men standing with him.

Luke 12:27

12:27 Consider how the flowers ¹¹  grow; they do not work ¹²  or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed like one of these!

Luke 14:10

14:10 But when you are invited, go and take the least important place, so that when your host ¹³  approaches he will say to you, ‘Friend, move up here to a better place.’ ¹⁴  Then you will be honored in the presence of all who share the meal with you.

[4:6]  ¹ tn Grk “And the devil.”

[4:6]  ² sn In Greek, this phrase is in an emphatic position. In effect, the devil is tempting Jesus by saying, “Look what you can have!”

[4:6]  ³ tn Or “authority.” BDAG 353 s.v. ἐξουσία 6 suggests, concerning this passage, that the term means “the sphere in which the power is exercised, domain.” Cf. also Luke 22:53; 23:7; Acts 26:18; Eph 2:2.

[4:6]  ⁴ tn The addendum referring to the glory of the kingdoms of the world forms something of an afterthought, as the following pronoun (“it”) makes clear, for the singular refers to the realm itself.

[4:6]  ⁵ tn For the translation of παραδέδοται (paradedotai) see L&N 57.77. The devil is erroneously implying that God has given him such authority with the additional capability of sharing the honor.

[9:26]  ⁶ sn How one responds now to Jesus and his teaching is a reflection of how Jesus, as the Son of Man who judges, will respond then in the final judgment.

[9:26]  ⁷ tn This pronoun (τοῦτον, touton) is in emphatic position in its own clause in the Greek text: “of that person the Son of Man will be ashamed…”

[9:26]  ⁸ tn Grk “in the glory of him and of the Father and of the holy angels.” “Glory” is repeated here in the translation for clarity and smoothness because the literal phrase is unacceptably awkward in contemporary English.

[9:32]  ¹¹ tn Grk “weighed down with sleep” (an idiom).

[9:32]  ¹² tn Or “after they became fully awake,” “but they became fully awake and saw.”

[12:27]  ¹⁶ tn Traditionally, “lilies.” According to L&N 3.32, “Though traditionally κρίνον has been regarded as a type of lily, scholars have suggested several other possible types of flowers, including an anemone, a poppy, a gladiolus, and a rather inconspicuous type of daisy.” In view of the uncertainty, the more generic “flowers” has been used in the translation.

[12:27]  ¹⁷ tn Traditionally, “toil.” Although it might be argued that “work hard” would be a more precise translation of κοπιάω (kopiaw) here, the line in English scans better in terms of cadence with a single syllable.

[14:10]  ²¹ tn Grk “the one who invited you.”

[14:10]  ²² tn Grk “Go up higher.” This means to move to a more important place.
