Lukas 23:15
Konteks23:15 Neither did Herod, for he sent him back to us. Look, he has done nothing 1 deserving death. 2
Lukas 23:29
Konteks23:29 For this is certain: 3 The days are coming when they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore children, and the breasts that never nursed!’ 4
[23:15] 1 sn With the statement “he has done nothing,” Pilate makes another claim that Jesus is innocent of any crime worthy of death.
[23:15] 2 tn Grk “nothing deserving death has been done by him.” The passive construction has been translated as an active one in keeping with contemporary English style.
[23:29] 3 tn Grk “For behold.”
[23:29] 4 tn Grk “Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that have not borne, and the breasts that have not nursed!”
[23:29] sn Normally barrenness is a sign of judgment, because birth would be seen as a sign of blessing. The reversal of imagery indicates that something was badly wrong.
