Luke 13:31

Going to Jerusalem

13:31 At that time, ¹²  some Pharisees ¹³  came up and said to Jesus, ¹⁴  “Get away from here, ¹⁵  because Herod ¹⁶  wants to kill you.”

[5:30]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the implied contrast present in this context.

[5:30]  ² sn See the note on Pharisees in 5:17.

[5:30]  ³ tn Or “and their scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 5:21.

[5:30]  ⁴ tn Or “grumbled”; a term often used in the OT for inappropriate grumbling: Exod 15:24; 16:7-8; Num 14:2, 26-35; 16:11.

[5:30]  ⁵ sn The issue here is inappropriate associations (eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners) and the accusation comes not against Jesus, but his disciples.

[6:7]  ⁶ tn Or “The scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 5:21.

[6:7]  ⁷ sn See the note on Pharisees in 5:17.

[6:7]  ⁸ sn The term translated watched…closely is emotive, since it carries negative connotations. It means they were watching him out of the corner of their eye or spying on him.

[6:7]  ⁹ tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[6:7]  ¹⁰ tn This is a first class condition in the Greek text; Jesus’ opponents anticipated he would do this.

[6:7]  ¹¹ sn The background for this is the view that only if life was endangered should one attempt to heal on the Sabbath (see the Mishnah, m. Shabbat 6.3; 12.1; 18.3; 19.2; m. Yoma 8.6).

[13:31]  ¹¹ tn Grk “At that very hour.”

[13:31]  ¹² sn See the note on Pharisees in 5:17.

[13:31]  ¹³ tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[13:31]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “Go away and leave from here,” which is redundant in English and has been shortened to “Get away from here.”

[13:31]  ¹⁵ sn Herod refers here to Herod Antipas. See the note on Herod Antipas in 3:1.
