1 Raja-raja 10:5
Konteks10:5 the food in his banquet hall, 1 his servants and attendants, 2 their robes, his cupbearers, and his burnt offerings which he presented in the Lord’s temple, she was amazed. 3
Lukas 12:37
Konteks12:37 Blessed are those slaves 4 whom their master finds alert 5 when he returns! I tell you the truth, 6 he will dress himself to serve, 7 have them take their place at the table, 8 and will come 9 and wait on them! 10
Wahyu 3:20
Konteks3:20 Listen! 11 I am standing at the door and knocking! If anyone hears my voice and opens the door I will come into his home 12 and share a meal with him, and he with me.
[10:5] 1 tn Heb “the food on his table.”
[10:5] 2 tn Heb “the seating of his servants and the standing of his attendants.”
[10:5] 3 tn Heb “there was no breath still in her.”
[12:37] 4 tn See the note on the word “slave” in 7:2.
[12:37] 5 tn Or “watching”; Grk “awake,” but in context this is not just being awake but alert and looking out.
[12:37] 6 tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”
[12:37] 7 tn See v. 35 (same verb).
[12:37] 8 tn Grk “have them recline at table,” as 1st century middle eastern meals were not eaten while sitting at a table, but while reclining on one’s side on the floor with the head closest to the low table and the feet farthest away.
[12:37] 9 tn The participle παρελθών (parelqwn) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.
[12:37] 10 sn He…will come and wait on them is a reversal of expectation, but shows that what Jesus asks for he is willing to do as well; see John 13:5 and 15:18-27, although those instances merely foreshadow what is in view here.
[3:20] 12 tn Grk “come in to him.”
[3:20] sn The expression in Greek does not mean entrance into the person, as is popularly taken, but entrance into a room or building toward the person. See ExSyn 380-82. Some interpreters understand the door here to be the door to the Laodicean church, and thus a collective or corporate image rather than an individual one.
