Luke 20:1

The Authority of Jesus

20:1 Now one ⁵  day, as Jesus ⁶  was teaching the people in the temple courts ⁷  and proclaiming ⁸  the gospel, the chief priests and the experts in the law ⁹  with the elders came up ¹⁰ 

[8:22]  ¹ tn Grk “Now it happened that one.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated. Here δέ (de) has not been translated either.

[8:22]  ² tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:22]  ³ sn A boat that held all the disciples would be of significant size.

[8:22]  ⁴ tn Grk “lake, and.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the response to Jesus’ request. In addition, because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[20:1]  ⁵ tn Grk “Now it happened that one.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated. Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.

[20:1]  ⁶ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[20:1]  ⁷ tn Grk “the temple.”

[20:1]  ⁸ tn Or “preaching.”

[20:1]  ⁹ tn Or “and the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 5:21.

[20:1]  ¹⁰ sn The chief priests and the experts in the law with the elders came up. The description is similar to Luke 19:47. The leaders are really watching Jesus at this point.
