Luke 6:11

6:11 But they were filled with mindless rage ¹  and began debating with one another what they would do ²  to Jesus.

Luke 16:17

16:17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tiny stroke of a letter ³  in the law to become void. ⁴ 

[6:11]  ¹ tn The term ἄνοια (anoia) denotes a kind of insane or mindless fury; the opponents were beside themselves with rage. They could not rejoice in the healing, but could only react against Jesus.

[6:11]  ² tn The use of the optative (ποιήσαιεν, poihsaien, “might do”) in an indirect question indicates that the formal opposition and planning of Jesus’ enemies started here (BDF §§385.1; 386.1).

[16:17]  ³ tn Or “one small part of a letter” (L&N 33.37).

[16:17]  ⁴ tn Grk “to fall”; that is, “to drop out of the text.” Jesus’ point may be that the law is going to reach its goal without fail, in that the era of the promised kingdom comes.
