2 sn This divine endorsement is like Luke 3:22 at Jesus’ baptism. One difference here is the mention of the Chosen One, a reference to the unique and beloved role of the regal, messianic Son. |
| (0.49259803636364) | (Luk 9:35) |
3 sn The expression listen to him comes from Deut 18:15 and makes two points: 1) Jesus is a prophet like Moses, a leader-prophet, and 2) they have much yet to learn from him. |
| (0.49259803636364) | (Luk 9:51) |
3 sn Taken up is a reference to Jesus’ upcoming return to heaven by crucifixion and resurrection (compare Luke 9:31). This term was used in the LXX of Elijah’s departure in 2 Kgs 2:9. |
| (0.49259803636364) | (Luk 9:53) |
3 sn Jerusalem is to be the place of rejection, as Luke 9:44 suggested. Jesus had resolved to meet his fate in Jerusalem, so the rejection was no surprise. |
| (0.49259803636364) | (Luk 10:6) |
2 sn The response to these messengers determines how God’s blessing is bestowed – if they are not welcomed with peace, their blessing will return to them. Jesus shows just how important their mission is by this remark. |
| (0.49259803636364) | (Luk 10:18) |
1 tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate that Jesus’ reply in vv. Jesus+&tab=notes" ver="">18-20 follows from the positive report of the messengers in v. Jesus+&tab=notes" ver="">17. |
| (0.49259803636364) | (Luk 10:19) |
2 sn Snakes and scorpions are examples of the hostility in the creation that is defeated by Jesus. The use of battle imagery shows who the kingdom fights against. See Acts 28:3-6. |
| (0.49259803636364) | (Luk 10:36) |
1 sn Jesus reversed the question the expert in religious law asked in v. Jesus+&tab=notes" ver="">29 to one of becoming a neighbor by loving. “Do not think about who they are, but who you are,” was his reply. |
| (0.49259803636364) | (Luk 11:14) |
4 sn This miracle is different from others in Luke. The miracle is told entirely in one verse and with minimum detail, while the response covers several verses. The emphasis is on explaining what Jesus’ work means. |
| (0.49259803636364) | (Luk 11:16) |
4 sn What exactly this sign would have been, given what Jesus was already doing, is not clear. But here is where the fence-sitters reside, refusing to commit to him. |
| (0.49259803636364) | (Luk 11:23) |
1 sn Whoever is not with me is against me. The call here is to join the victor. Failure to do so means that one is being destructive. Responding to Jesus is the issue. |
| (0.49259803636364) | (Luk 11:29) |
3 sn The mention of a sign alludes back to Luke 11:16. Given what Jesus had done, nothing would be good enough. This leads to the rebuke that follows. |
| (0.49259803636364) | (Luk 11:29) |
4 sn As the following comparisons to Solomon and Jonah show, in the present context the sign of Jonah is not an allusion to Jonah being three days in the belly of the fish, but to Jesus’ teaching about wisdom and repentance. |
| (0.49259803636364) | (Luk 11:37) |
1 tn The use of the aorist infinitive here should probably be translated “as he spoke” rather than “while he was speaking” (see ExSyn 595). The Pharisee did not necessarily interrupt Jesus to issue the invitation. |
| (0.49259803636364) | (Luk 11:39) |
1 sn The allusion to washing (clean the outside of the cup) shows Jesus knew what they were thinking and deliberately set up a contrast that charged them with hypocrisy and majoring on minors. |
| (0.49259803636364) | (Luk 12:22) |
1 tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative. Jesus’ remarks to the disciples are an application of the point made in the previous parable. |
| (0.49259803636364) | (Luk 12:40) |
1 sn Jesus made clear that his coming could not be timed, and suggested it might take some time – so long, in fact, that some would not be looking for him any longer (at an hour when you do not expect him). |
| (0.49259803636364) | (Luk 13:3) |
2 tn Or “you will all likewise perish,” but this could be misunderstood to mean that they would perish by the same means as the Galileans. Jesus’ point is that apart from repentance all will perish. |
| (0.49259803636364) | (Luk 13:16) |
2 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. |
| (0.49259803636364) | (Luk 14:6) |
1 tn καί (kai) has been translated here as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context. The experts, who should be expected to know the law, are unable to respond to Jesus’ question. |
