Luke 5:32

5:32 I have not come ¹  to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” ² 

Luke 20:20

Paying Taxes to Caesar

20:20 Then ³  they watched him carefully and sent spies who pretended to be sincere. ⁴  They wanted to take advantage of what he might say ⁵  so that they could deliver him up to the authority and jurisdiction ⁶  of the governor.

[5:32]  ¹ sn I have not come is another commission statement by Jesus; see 4:43-44.

[5:32]  ² sn Though parallels exist to this saying (Matt 9:13; Mark 2:17), only Luke has this last phrase but sinners to repentance. Repentance is a frequent topic in Luke’s Gospel: 3:3, 8; 13:1-5; 15:7, 10; 16:30; 17:3-4; 24:47.

[20:20]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[20:20]  ⁴ tn Grk “righteous,” but in this context the point is their false sincerity.

[20:20]  ⁵ tn Grk “so that they might catch him in some word.”

[20:20]  ⁶ tn This word is often translated “authority” in other contexts, but here, in combination with ἀρχή (arch), it refers to the domain or sphere of the governor’s rule (L&N 37.36).
