Konteks17:25 But first he must 9 suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
[2:26] 1 tn Grk “And it.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
[2:26] 2 tn The use of the passive suggests a revelation by God, and in the OT the corresponding Hebrew term represented here by κεχρηματισμένον (kecrhmatismenon) indicated some form of direct revelation from God (Jer 25:30; 33:2; Job 40:8).
[2:26] 3 tn Grk “would not see death” (an idiom for dying).
[2:26] 4 tn On the grammar of this temporal clause, see BDF §§383.3; 395.
[2:26] 5 tn Or “Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”
[2:26] sn The revelation to Simeon that he would not die before he had seen the Lord’s Christ is yet another example of a promise fulfilled in Luke 1-2. Also, see the note on Christ in 2:11.
[6:40] 7 tn Or “significantly different.” The idea, as the next phrase shows, is that teachers build followers who go the same direction they do.
[12:6] 8 sn The pennies refer to the assarion, a small Roman copper coin. One of them was worth one sixteenth of a denarius or less than a half hour’s average wage. Sparrows were the cheapest thing sold in the market. God knows about even the most financially insignificant things; see Isa 49:15.
[17:25] 9 sn The Son of Man’s suffering and rejection by this generation is another “it is necessary” type of event in God’s plan (Luke 4:43; 24:7, 26, 44) and the fifth passion prediction in Luke’s account (9:22, 44; 12:50; 13:32-33; for the last, see 18:32-33).
