| (0.49259803636364) | (Luk 22:2) |
6 sn The suggestion here is that Jesus was too popular to openly arrest him. The verb were trying is imperfect. It suggests, in this context, that they were always considering the opportunities. |
| (0.49259803636364) | (Luk 22:10) |
3 sn Jesus is portrayed throughout Luke 22-23 as very aware of what will happen, almost directing events. Here this is indicated by his prediction that a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. |
| (0.49259803636364) | (Luk 22:18) |
2 sn Until the kingdom of God comes is a reference to the kingdom in all its power. See Luke 17:20-37. Jesus awaits celebration with the arrival of full kingdom blessing. |
| (0.49259803636364) | (Luk 22:27) |
3 sn Jesus’ example of humble service, as one who serves, shows that the standard for a disciple is different from that of the world. For an example see John 13:1-17. |
| (0.49259803636364) | (Luk 22:30) |
2 sn The statement you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel looks at the future authority the Twelve will have when Jesus returns. They will share in Israel’s judgment. |
| (0.49259803636364) | (Luk 22:37) |
2 sn This is a quotation from Isa 53:12. It highlights a theme of Luke 22-23. Though completely innocent, Jesus dies as if he were a criminal. |
| (0.49259803636364) | (Luk 22:38) |
2 sn Here are two swords. The disciples mistakenly took Jesus to mean that they should prepare for armed resistance, something he will have to correct in Jesus+&tab=notes" ver="">22:50-51. |
| (0.49259803636364) | (Luk 22:42) |
2 sn This cup alludes to the wrath of God that Jesus would experience (in the form of suffering and death) for us. See Ps 11:6; 75:8-9; Isa 51:17, 19, 22 for this figure. |
| (0.49259803636364) | (Luk 22:70) |
4 sn Jesus’ reply, “You say that I am,” was not a denial, but a way of giving a qualified positive response: “You have said it, but I do not quite mean what you think.” |
| (0.49259803636364) | (Luk 22:71) |

2 sn Pilate’s statement “I find no reason for an accusation” is the first of several remarks in Luke 23 that Jesus is innocent or of efforts to release him (vv. Jesus+&tab=notes" ver="">13, 14, 15, 16, 20, 22). |
| (0.49259803636364) | (Luk 23:20) |
1 sn The account pictures a battle of wills – the people versus Pilate. Pilate is consistently portrayed in Luke’s account as wanting to release Jesus because he believed him to be innocent. |
| (0.49259803636364) | (Luk 23:28) |
2 sn Do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves. Judgment now comes on the nation (see Luke 19:41-44) for this judgment of Jesus. Ironically, they mourn the wrong person – they should be mourning for themselves. |
| (0.49259803636364) | (Luk 23:43) |
3 sn Jesus gives more than the criminal asked for, because the blessing will come today, not in the future. He will be among the righteous. See the note on today in Jesus+&tab=notes" ver="">2:11. |

| (0.49259803636364) | (Joh 1:21) |
3 sn The Prophet is a reference to the “prophet like Moses” of Deut 18:15, by this time an eschatological figure in popular belief. Acts 3:22 identifies Jesus as this prophet. |
| (0.49259803636364) | (Joh 1:43) |
2 sn No explanation is given for why Jesus wanted to set out for Galilee, but probably he wanted to go to the wedding at Cana (about a two day trip). |
| (0.49259803636364) | (Joh 3:34) |
2 tn Grk “for not by measure does he give the Spirit” (an idiom). Leviticus Rabbah 15:2 states: “The Holy Spirit rested on the prophets by measure.” Jesus is contrasted to this. The Spirit rests upon him without measure. |
