Lukas 21:27

21:27 Then ¹  they will see the Son of Man arriving in a cloud ²  with power and great glory.

Lukas 22:49

22:49 When ³  those who were around him saw what was about to happen, they said, “Lord, should ⁴  we use our swords?” ⁵ 

[21:27]  ¹ tn Grk “And then” (καὶ τότε, kai tote). Here καί has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[21:27]  ² sn An allusion to Dan 7:13. Here is Jesus returning with full judging authority.

[22:49]  ³ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[22:49]  ⁴ tn The direct question using “if” in Greek is not unusual (BDF §440.3).

[22:49]  ⁵ sn “Should we use our swords?” The disciples’ effort to defend Jesus recalls Luke 22:35-38. One individual did not wait for the answer.
