Lukas 11:53-54

11:53 When he went out from there, the experts in the law ¹  and the Pharisees began to oppose him bitterly, ²  and to ask him hostile questions ³  about many things, 11:54 plotting against ⁴  him, to catch ⁵  him in something he might say.

Lukas 12:52-53

12:52 For from now on ⁶  there will be five in one household divided, three against two and two against three. 12:53 They will be divided, ⁷  father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”

[11:53]  ¹ tn Or “the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 5:21.

[11:53]  ² tn Or “terribly.”

[11:53]  ³ tn For this term see L&N 33.183.

[11:54]  ⁴ tn Grk “lying in ambush against,” but this is a figurative extension of that meaning.

[11:54]  ⁵ tn This term was often used in a hunting context (BDAG 455 s.v. θηρεύω; L&N 27.30). Later examples of this appear in Luke 20.

[12:52]  ⁶ sn From now on is a popular phrase in Luke: 1:48; 5:10; 22:18, 69; see Mic 7:6.

[12:53]  ⁷ tn There is dispute whether this phrase belongs to the end of v. 52 or begins v. 53. Given the shift of object, a connection to v. 53 is slightly preferred.
