Luke 22:2

Context
22:2 The³ chief priests and the experts in the law⁴ were trying to find some way⁵ to execute⁶ Jesus,⁷ for they were afraid of the people.⁸

[6:19] ¹tn Grk “And the.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[6:19] ²sn There was a recognition that there was great power at work through Jesus, the subject of a great debate in 11:14-23. Luke highlights Jesus’ healing ministry (5:17; 6:18; 7:7; 8:47; 9:11, 42; 14:4; 17:15; 18:42-43; 22:51; Acts 10:38).

[22:2] ³tn Grk “And the.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[22:2] ⁴tn Or “and the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 5:21.

[22:2] ⁵tn Grk “were seeking how.”

[22:2] ⁶tn The Greek verb here means “to get rid of by execution” (BDAG 64 s.v. ἀναιρέω 2; cf. also L&N 20.71, which states, “to get rid of someone by execution, often with legal or quasi-legal procedures”).

[22:2] ⁷tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:2] ⁸sn The suggestion here is that Jesus was too popular to openly arrest him. The verb were trying is imperfect. It suggests, in this context, that they were always considering the opportunities.
