Lukas 19:41

19:41 Now ⁵  when Jesus ⁶  approached ⁷  and saw the city, he wept over it,

Lukas 22:64

22:64 They ⁸  blindfolded him and asked him repeatedly, ⁹  “Prophesy! Who hit you?” ¹⁰ 

[2:2]  ¹ tn Or “was a minister of Syria.” This term could simply refer to an administrative role Quirinius held as opposed to being governor (Josephus, Ant. 18.4.2 [18.88]). See also Luke 2:1.

[10:5]  ² tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[10:5]  ³ tn Grk “Into whatever house you enter.” This acts as a distributive, meaning every house they enter; this is expressed more naturally in English as “whenever you enter a house.”

[10:5]  ⁴ sn The statement ‘May peace be on this house!’ is really a benediction, asking for God’s blessing. The requested shalom (peace) is understood as coming from God.

[19:41]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.

[19:41]  ⁶ tn Grk “he.”

[19:41]  ⁷ sn When Jesus approached and saw the city. This is the last travel note in Luke’s account (the so-called Jerusalem journey), as Jesus approached and saw the city before entering it.

[22:64]  ⁸ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[22:64]  ⁹ tn The verb ἐπηρώτων (ephrwtwn) has been translated as an iterative imperfect. The participle λέγοντες (legontes) is redundant in English and has not been translated here.

[22:64]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “Who is the one who hit you?”

[22:64]  sn Who hit you? This is a variation of one of three ancient games that involved blindfolds.
