Luke 6:22

6:22 “Blessed are you when people ¹  hate you, and when they exclude you and insult you and reject you as evil ²  on account of the Son of Man!

Luke 18:29

18:29 Then ³  Jesus ⁴  said to them, “I tell you the truth, ⁵  there is no one who has left home or wife or brothers ⁶  or parents or children for the sake of God’s kingdom

Luke 21:12

21:12 But before all this, ⁷  they will seize ⁸  you and persecute you, handing you over to the synagogues ⁹  and prisons. You ¹⁰  will be brought before kings and governors because of my name.

[6:22]  ¹ tn This is a generic use of ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo"), referring to both males and females.

[6:22]  ² tn Or “disdain you”; Grk “cast out your name as evil.” The word “name” is used here as a figure of speech to refer to the person as a whole.

[18:29]  ³ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[18:29]  ⁴ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[18:29]  ⁵ tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”

[18:29]  ⁶ tn The term “brothers” could be understood as generic here, referring to either male or female siblings. However, it is noteworthy that in the parallel passages in both Matt 19:29 and Mark 10:29, “sisters” are explicitly mentioned in the Greek text.

[21:12]  ⁵ sn But before all this. Another note of timing is present, this one especially important in understanding the sequence in the discourse. Before the things noted in vv. 8-11 are the events of vv. 12-19.

[21:12]  ⁶ tn Grk “will lay their hands on you.”

[21:12]  ⁷ sn Some of the persecution is of Jewish origin (the synagogues). Some fulfillment of this can be seen in Acts. See the note on synagogues in 4:15.

[21:12]  ⁸ tn Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
