Lukas 5:32

5:32 I have not come ¹  to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” ² 

Lukas 13:3

13:3 No, I tell you! But unless you repent, ³  you will all perish as well! ⁴ 

Lukas 13:5

13:5 No, I tell you! But unless you repent ⁵  you will all perish as well!” ⁶ 

Lukas 21:14

21:14 Therefore be resolved ⁷  not to rehearse ⁸  ahead of time how to make your defense.

[5:32]  ¹ sn I have not come is another commission statement by Jesus; see 4:43-44.

[5:32]  ² sn Though parallels exist to this saying (Matt 9:13; Mark 2:17), only Luke has this last phrase but sinners to repentance. Repentance is a frequent topic in Luke’s Gospel: 3:3, 8; 13:1-5; 15:7, 10; 16:30; 17:3-4; 24:47.

[13:3]  ³ sn Jesus was stressing that all stand at risk of death, if they do not repent and receive life.

[13:3]  ⁴ tn Or “you will all likewise perish,” but this could be misunderstood to mean that they would perish by the same means as the Galileans. Jesus’ point is that apart from repentance all will perish.

[13:5]  ⁵ sn Jesus’ point repeats v. 3. The circumstances make no difference. All must deal with the reality of what death means.

[13:5]  ⁶ tn Grk “similarly.”

[21:14]  ⁷ tn Grk “determine in your hearts.”

[21:14]  ⁸ tn This term could refer to rehearsing a speech or a dance. On its syntax, see BDF §392.2.
