Luke 4:29

4:29 They got up, forced ¹  him out of the town, ²  and brought him to the brow of the hill on which their town was built, so that ³  they could throw him down the cliff. ⁴ 

[4:29]  ¹ tn Grk “cast.”

[4:29]  ² tn Or “city.”

[4:29]  ³ tn The Greek conjunction ὥστε (Jwste) here indicates their purpose.

[4:29]  ⁴ sn The attempt to throw him down the cliff looks like “lynch law,” but it may really be an indication that Jesus was regarded as a false prophet who was worthy of death (Deut 13:5). Such a sentence meant being thrown into a pit and then stoned.
