Luke 4:9

4:9 Then ¹  the devil ²  brought him to Jerusalem, ³  had him stand ⁴  on the highest point of the temple, ⁵  and said to him, “If ⁶  you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here,

Luke 16:26

16:26 Besides all this, ⁷  a great chasm ⁸  has been fixed between us, ⁹  so that those who want to cross over from here to you cannot do so, and no one can cross from there to us.’

Luke 19:30

19:30 telling them, ¹⁰  “Go to the village ahead of you. ¹¹  When ¹²  you enter it, you will find a colt tied there that has never been ridden. ¹³  Untie it and bring it here.

[4:9]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[4:9]  ² tn Grk “he”; the referent (the devil) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[4:9]  ³ map For location see Map5 B1; Map6 F3; Map7 E2; Map8 F2; Map10 B3; JP1 F4; JP2 F4; JP3 F4; JP4 F4.

[4:9]  ⁴ tn Grk “and stood him.”

[4:9]  ⁵ sn The reference to the highest point of the temple probably refers to the one point on the temple’s southeast corner where the site looms directly over a cliff some 450 feet (135 m) high. However, some have suggested the reference could be to the temple’s high gate.

[4:9]  ⁶ tn This is another first class condition, as in v. 3.

[16:26]  ⁷ tn Grk “And in all these things.” There is no way Lazarus could carry out this request even if divine justice were not involved.

[16:26]  ⁸ sn The great chasm between heaven and hell is impassable forever. The rich man’s former status meant nothing now.

[16:26]  ⁹ tn Grk “between us and you.”

[19:30]  ¹³ tn Grk “saying.”

[19:30]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “the village lying before [you]” (BDAG 530 s.v. κατέναντι 2.a).

[19:30]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “in which entering.” This is a continuation of the previous sentence in Greek, but because of the length and complexity of the construction a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[19:30]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “a colt tied there on which no one of men has ever sat.”
