Luke 7:31

7:31 “To what then should I compare the people ¹  of this generation, and what are they like?

Luke 21:22

21:22 because these are days of vengeance, ²  to fulfill ³  all that is written.

[7:31]  ¹ tn Grk “men,” but this is a generic use of ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo"). The comparison that follows in vv. 32-34 describes “this generation,” not Jesus and John.

[21:22]  ² tn Or “of punishment.” This is a time of judgment.

[21:22]  ³ tn The passive construction with the infinitive πλησθῆναι (plhsqhnai) has been translated as an active construction for simplicity, in keeping with contemporary English style.
