Lukas 1:45

1:45 And blessed ¹  is she who believed that ²  what was spoken to her by ³  the Lord would be fulfilled.” ⁴ 

Lukas 10:12

10:12 I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom ⁵  than for that town! ⁶ 

Lukas 14:33

14:33 In the same way therefore not one of you can be my disciple if he does not renounce all his own possessions. ⁷ 

Lukas 19:39

19:39 But ⁸  some of the Pharisees ⁹  in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.” ¹⁰ 

Lukas 20:33

20:33 In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? ¹¹  For all seven had married her.” ¹² 

Lukas 22:18

22:18 For I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit ¹³  of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.” ¹⁴ 

[1:45]  ¹ sn Again the note of being blessed makes the key point of the passage about believing God.

[1:45]  ² tn This ὅτι (Joti) clause, technically indirect discourse after πιστεύω (pisteuw), explains the content of the faith, a belief in God’s promise coming to pass.

[1:45]  ³ tn That is, “what was said to her (by the angel) at the Lord’s command” (BDAG 756 s.v. παρά A.2).

[1:45]  ⁴ tn Grk “that there would be a fulfillment of what was said to her from the Lord.”

[1:45]  sn This term speaks of completion of something planned (2 Chr 29:35).

[10:12]  ⁵ sn The allusion to Sodom, the most wicked of OT cities from Gen 19:1-29, shows that to reject the current message is even more serious than the worst sins of the old era and will result in more severe punishment. The noun Sodom is in emphatic position in the Greek text.

[10:12]  ⁶ tn Or “city.”

[14:33]  ⁷ tn Grk “Likewise therefore every one of you who does not renounce all his own possessions cannot be my disciple.” The complex double negation is potentially confusing to the modern reader and has been simplified in the translation. See L&N 57.70.

[14:33]  sn The application of the saying is this: Discipleship requires that God be in first place. The reference to renunciation of all his own possessions refers to all earthly attachments that have first place.

[19:39]  ⁸ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context. Not all present are willing to join in the acclamation.

[19:39]  ⁹ sn See the note on Pharisees in 5:17.

[19:39]  ¹⁰ sn Teacher, rebuke your disciples. The Pharisees were complaining that the claims were too great.

[20:33]  ¹¹ sn The point is a dilemma. In a world arguing a person should have one wife, whose wife will she be in the afterlife? The question was designed to show that (in the opinion of the Sadducees) resurrection leads to a major problem.

[20:33]  ¹² tn Grk “For the seven had her as wife.”

[22:18]  ¹³ tn Grk “the produce” (“the produce of the vine” is a figurative expression for wine).

[22:18]  ¹⁴ sn Until the kingdom of God comes is a reference to the kingdom in all its power. See Luke 17:20-37. Jesus awaits celebration with the arrival of full kingdom blessing.
