Lukas 19:28

The Triumphal Entry

19:28 After Jesus ¹  had said this, he continued on ahead, ²  going up to Jerusalem. ³ 

Lukas 24:40

24:40 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. ⁴ 

Lukas 22:8

22:8 Jesus ⁵  sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover ⁶  for us to eat.” ⁷ 

Lukas 23:46

23:46 Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” ⁸  And after he said this he breathed his last.

Lukas 9:22

9:22 saying, “The Son of Man must suffer ⁹  many things and be rejected by the elders, ¹⁰  chief priests, and experts in the law, ¹¹  and be killed, and on the third day be raised.” ¹² 

[19:28]  ¹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[19:28]  ² tn This could mean “before [his disciples],” but that is slightly more awkward, requiring an elided element (the disciples) to be supplied.

[19:28]  ³ sn This is yet another travel note on the journey to Jerusalem. See also Luke 18:31; 19:11. Jesus does not actually enter Jerusalem until 19:45.

[24:40]  ⁴ tc Some Western mss (D it) lack 24:40. However, it is present in all other mss, including Ì⁷⁵, and should thus be regarded as an original part of Luke’s Gospel.

[22:8]  ⁵ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:8]  ⁶ sn This required getting a suitable lamb and finding lodging in Jerusalem where the meal could be eaten. The population of the city swelled during the feast, so lodging could be difficult to find. The Passover was celebrated each year in commemoration of the Israelites’ deliverance from Egypt; thus it was a feast celebrating redemption (see Exod 12). The Passover lamb was roasted and eaten after sunset in a family group of at least ten people (m. Pesahim 7.13). People ate the meal while reclining (see the note on table in 22:14). It included, besides the lamb, unleavened bread and bitter herbs as a reminder of Israel’s bitter affliction at the hands of the Egyptians. Four cups of wine mixed with water were also used for the meal. For a further description of the meal and the significance of the wine cups, see E. Ferguson, Backgrounds of Early Christianity, 523-24.

[22:8]  ⁷ tn Grk “for us, so that we may eat.”

[23:46]  ⁸ sn A quotation from Ps 31:5. It is a psalm of trust. The righteous, innocent sufferer trusts in God. Luke does not have the cry of pain from Ps 22:1 (cf. Matt 27:46; Mark 15:34), but notes Jesus’ trust instead.

[9:22]  ⁹ sn The necessity that the Son of Man suffer is the particular point that needed emphasis, since for many 1st century Jews the Messiah was a glorious and powerful figure, not a suffering one.

[9:22]  ¹⁰ sn Rejection in Luke is especially by the Jewish leadership (here elders, chief priests, and experts in the law), though in Luke 23 almost all will join in.

[9:22]  ¹¹ tn Or “and scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 5:21.

[9:22]  ¹² sn The description of the Son of Man being rejected…killed, and…raised is the first of six passion summaries in Luke: 9:44; 17:25; 18:31-33; 24:7; 24:46-47.
