[9:22] 1 sn The necessity that the Son of Man suffer is the particular point that needed emphasis, since for many 1st century Jews the Messiah was a glorious and powerful figure, not a suffering one.
[9:22] 2 sn Rejection in Luke is especially by the Jewish leadership (here elders, chief priests, and experts in the law), though in Luke 23 almost all will join in.
[9:22] 3 tn Or “and scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 5:21.
[9:22] 4 sn The description of the Son of Man being rejected…killed, and…raised is the first of six passion summaries in Luke: 9:44; 17:25; 18:31-33; 24:7; 24:46-47.
[11:42] 5 tn Grk “Woe to you…because you…” The causal particle ὅτι (Joti) has not been translated here for rhetorical effect (and so to the end of this chapter).
[11:42] 6 tn Or “you tithe mint.”
[11:42] 7 sn These small herbs were tithed with great care (Mishnah, m. Demai 2:1).
[11:42] 8 tn Grk “and rue.” Καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
[11:42] 9 sn Justice was a major theme of OT ethics (Mic 6:8; Zech 7:8-10).
[11:42] 10 tn Grk “those”; but this has been translated as “the others” to clarify which are meant.
[13:16] 9 tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to show the connection with Jesus’ previous statement.
[13:16] 10 tn Grk “is it not necessary that.” Jesus argues that no other day is more appropriate to heal a descendant of Abraham than the Sabbath, the exact opposite view of the synagogue leader.
[13:16] 11 sn Note that this is again a battle between Satan and God; see 11:18-23.
[13:16] 12 tn The word “long” reflects the emphasis added in the Greek text by ἰδού (idou). See BDAG 468 s.v. 1.
[13:16] 13 tn Or “bondage”; Grk “bond.”
[19:5] 13 tc Most
[19:5] 14 tn Grk “hastening, come down.” σπεύσας (speusa") has been translated as a participle of manner.
[19:5] 15 sn I must stay. Jesus revealed the necessity of his associating with people like Zacchaeus (5:31-32). This act of fellowship indicated acceptance.
[19:5] 16 sn On today here and in v. 9, see the note on today in 2:11.
[22:37] 17 sn This scripture must be fulfilled in me. The statement again reflects the divine necessity of God’s plan. See 4:43-44.
[22:37] 18 tn Or “with the lawless.”
[22:37] 19 tn Grk “is having its fulfillment.”
[24:44] 21 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.
[24:44] 22 sn Everything written about me. The divine plan, events, and scripture itself are seen here as being one.
[24:44] 23 sn For a similar threefold division of the OT scriptures, see the prologue to Sirach, lines 8-10, and from Qumran, the epilogue to 4QMMT, line 10.
