Lukas 4:41

4:41 Demons also came out ¹  of many, crying out, ²  “You are the Son of God!” ³  But he rebuked ⁴  them, and would not allow them to speak, ⁵  because they knew that he was the Christ. ⁶ 

Lukas 5:7

5:7 So ⁷  they motioned ⁸  to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both boats, so that they were about to sink. ⁹ 

Lukas 6:23

6:23 Rejoice in that day, and jump for joy, because ¹⁰  your reward is great in heaven. For their ancestors ¹¹  did the same things to the prophets. ¹² 

Lukas 6:26

6:26 “Woe to you ¹³  when all people ¹⁴  speak well of you, for their ancestors ¹⁵  did the same things to the false prophets.

Lukas 10:21

10:21 On that same occasion ¹⁶  Jesus ¹⁷  rejoiced ¹⁸  in the Holy Spirit and said, “I praise ¹⁹  you, Father, Lord ²⁰  of heaven and earth, because ²¹  you have hidden these things from the wise ²²  and intelligent, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was your gracious will. ²³ 

Lukas 14:19

14:19 Another ²⁴  said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, ²⁵  and I am going out ²⁶  to examine them. Please excuse me.’

Lukas 17:30-31

17:30 It will be the same on the day the Son of Man is revealed. 17:31 On that day, anyone who is on the roof, ²⁷  with his goods in the house, must not come down ²⁸  to take them away, and likewise the person in the field must not turn back.

Lukas 18:16

18:16 But Jesus called for the children, ²⁹  saying, “Let the little children come to me and do not try to stop them, for the kingdom of God ³⁰  belongs to such as these. ³¹ 

[4:41]  ¹ sn Demons also came out. Note how Luke distinguishes healing from exorcism here, implying that the two are not identical.

[4:41]  ² tn Grk “crying out and saying.” The participle λέγοντα (legonta) is redundant in English and has not been translated here.

[4:41]  ³ tc Most mss (A Q Θ Ψ 0102 Ë^1,13 Ï) read “the Christ, the Son of God.” But the earliest and best mss, along with several other witnesses (א B C D L W Ξ 33 579 700 1241 2542 lat sa), lack “the Christ” here. It is likely that later scribes wished to bring the demons’ confession in line with what Luke says they knew later in the verse.

[4:41]  ⁴ tn Or “commanded,” but “rebuke” implies strong disapproval, which seems to be more in keeping with the context here (L&N 33.419).

[4:41]  ⁵ sn Jesus would not allow the demons to speak because the time for such disclosure was not yet at hand, and such a revelation would have certainly been misunderstood by the people. In all likelihood, if the people had understood him early on to be the Son of God, or Messiah, they would have reduced his mission to one of political deliverance from Roman oppression (cf. John 6:15). Jesus wanted to avoid, as much as possible, any premature misunderstanding about who he was and what he was doing. However, at the end of his ministry, he did not deny such a title when the high priest asked him (22:66-71).

[4:41]  ⁶ tn Or “Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”

[4:41]  sn Note how Luke associates Son of God with Messiah (Christ) in this context, a regal connection with OT roots (Ps 2:7). Also, see the note on Christ in 2:11.

[5:7]  ⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate consequential nature of the action.

[5:7]  ⁸ tn That is, “they signaled by making gestures” (L&N 33.485).

[5:7]  ⁹ tn This infinitive conveys the idea that the boats were at the point of sinking.

[6:23]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “because behold.” The Greek word ἰδού (idou) at the beginning of this clause has not been translated because it has no exact English equivalent here, but adds interest and emphasis (BDAG 468 s.v. 1).

[6:23]  ¹¹ tn Or “forefathers”; Grk “fathers.”

[6:23]  ¹² sn Mistreatment of the prophets is something Luke often notes (Luke 11:47-51; Acts 7:51-52).

[6:26]  ¹³ tc The wording “to you” (ὑμῖν, Jumin) is lacking throughout the ms tradition except for a few witnesses (D W* Δ 1424 pc co). The Western witnesses tend to add freely to the text. Supported by the vast majority of witnesses and the likelihood that “to you” is a clarifying addition, the shorter reading should be considered original; nevertheless, “to you” is included in the translation because of English requirements.

[6:26]  ¹⁴ tn This is a generic use of ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo"), referring to both males and females.

[6:26]  ¹⁵ tn Or “forefathers”; Grk “fathers.”

[10:21]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “In that same hour” (L&N 67.1).

[10:21]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[10:21]  ¹⁸ sn Jesus rejoiced. The account of the mission in 10:1-24 ends with several remarks about joy.

[10:21]  ¹⁹ tn Or “thank.”

[10:21]  ²⁰ sn The title Lord is an important name for God, showing his sovereignty, but it is interesting that it comes next to a reference to the Father, a term indicative of God’s care. The two concepts are often related in the NT; see Eph 1:3-6.

[10:21]  ²¹ tn Or “that.”

[10:21]  ²² sn See 1 Cor 1:26-31.

[10:21]  ²³ tn Grk “for (to do) thus was well pleasing before you,” BDAG 325 s.v. ἔμπροσθεν 1.δ; speaking of something taking place “before” God is a reverential way of avoiding direct connection of the action to him.

[14:19]  ²⁴ tn Grk “And another.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[14:19]  ²⁵ sn Five yoke of oxen. This was a wealthy man, because the normal farmer had one or two yoke of oxen.

[14:19]  ²⁶ tn The translation “going out” for πορεύομαι (poreuomai) is used because “going” in this context could be understood to mean “I am about to” rather than the correct nuance, “I am on my way to.”

[17:31]  ²⁷ sn Most of the roofs in the NT were flat roofs made of pounded dirt, sometimes mixed with lime or stones, supported by heavy wooden beams. They generally had an easy means of access, either a sturdy wooden ladder or stone stairway, sometimes on the outside of the house.

[17:31]  ²⁸ sn The swiftness and devastation of the judgment will require a swift escape. There is no time to come down from one’s roof and pick up anything from inside one’s home.

[18:16]  ²⁹ tn Grk “summoned them”; the referent (the children) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[18:16]  ³⁰ sn The kingdom of God is a major theme of Jesus. It is a realm in which Jesus rules and to which those who trust him belong. See Luke 6:20; 11:20; 17:20-21.

[18:16]  ³¹ sn The kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Children are a picture of those whose simple trust illustrates what faith is all about. The remark illustrates how everyone is important to God, even those whom others regard as insignificant.
