Luke 4:7

4:7 So then, if ¹  you will worship ²  me, all this will be ³  yours.”

Luke 22:21

A Final Discourse

22:21 “But look, the hand of the one who betrays ⁴  me is with me on the table. ⁵ 

Luke 22:28

22:28 “You are the ones who have remained ⁶  with me in my trials.

Luke 23:43

23:43 And Jesus ⁷  said to him, “I tell you the truth, ⁸  today ⁹  you will be with me in paradise.” ¹⁰ 

[4:7]  ¹ tn This is a third class condition: “If you worship me (and I am not saying whether you will or will not)…”

[4:7]  ² tn Or “will prostrate yourself in worship before…” The verb προσκυνέω (proskunew) can allude not only to the act of worship but the position of the worshiper. See L&N 53.56.

[4:7]  ³ tn One could translate this phrase “it will all be yours.” The sense is the same, but the translation given is a touch more emphatic and more likely to catch the force of the offer.

[22:21]  ⁴ sn The one who betrays me. Jesus knows about Judas and what he has done.

[22:21]  ⁵ sn The point of Jesus’ comment here is not to identify the specific individual per se, but to indicate that it is one who was close to him – somebody whom no one would suspect. His comment serves to heighten the treachery of Judas’ betrayal.

[22:28]  ⁷ tn Or “continued” (L&N 34.3). Jesus acknowledges the disciples’ faithfulness.

[23:43]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “he.”

[23:43]  ¹¹ tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”

[23:43]  ¹² sn Jesus gives more than the criminal asked for, because the blessing will come today, not in the future. He will be among the righteous. See the note on today in 2:11.

[23:43]  ¹³ sn In the NT, paradise is mentioned three times. Here it refers to the abode of the righteous dead. In Rev 2:7 it refers to the restoration of Edenic paradise predicted in Isa 51:3 and Ezek 36:35. In 2 Cor 12:4 it probably refers to the “third heaven” (2 Cor 12:2) as the place where God dwells.
