Lukas 10:16

10:16 “The one who listens ¹  to you listens to me, ²  and the one who rejects you rejects me, and the one who rejects me rejects ³  the one who sent me.” ⁴ 

Lukas 12:12

12:12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that moment ⁵  what you must say.” ⁶ 

Lukas 21:15

21:15 For I will give you the words ⁷  along with the wisdom ⁸  that none of your adversaries will be able to withstand or contradict.

[10:16]  ¹ tn Grk “hears you”; but as the context of vv. 8-9 makes clear, it is response that is the point. In contemporary English, “listen to” is one way to express this function (L&N 31.56).

[10:16]  ² sn Jesus linked himself to the disciples’ message: Responding to the disciples (listens to you) counts as responding to him.

[10:16]  ³ tn The double mention of rejection in this clause – ἀθετῶν ἀθετεῖ (aqetwn aqetei) in the Greek text – keeps up the emphasis of the section.

[10:16]  ⁴ sn The one who sent me refers to God.

[12:12]  ⁵ tn Grk “in that very hour” (an idiom).

[12:12]  ⁶ tn Grk “what it is necessary to say.”

[21:15]  ⁷ tn Grk “a mouth.” It is a metonymy and refers to the reply the Lord will give to them.

[21:15]  ⁸ tn Grk “and wisdom.”
