Lukas 22:49

22:49 When ¹  those who were around him saw what was about to happen, they said, “Lord, should ²  we use our swords?” ³ 

Lukas 23:49

23:49 And all those who knew Jesus ⁴  stood at a distance, and the women who had followed him from Galilee saw ⁵  these things.

[22:49]  ¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[22:49]  ² tn The direct question using “if” in Greek is not unusual (BDF §440.3).

[22:49]  ³ 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.

[23:49]  ⁴ tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[23:49]  ⁵ tn Technically the participle ὁρῶσαι (Jorwsai) modifies only γυναῖκες (gunaike") since both are feminine plural nominative, although many modern translations refer this as well to the group of those who knew Jesus mentioned in the first part of the verse. These events had a wide array of witnesses.
