1:74 that we, being rescued from the hand of our ¹  enemies,

may serve him without fear, ² 

Lukas 11:54

11:54 plotting against ³  him, to catch ⁴  him in something he might say.

Lukas 13:20

13:20 Again ⁵  he said, “To what should I compare the kingdom of God? ⁶ 

Lukas 24:45

24:45 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the scriptures, ⁷ 

[1:74]  ¹ tc Many important early mss (א B L W [0130] Ë^1,13 565 892 pc) lack “our,” while most (A C D [K] Θ Ψ 0177 33 Ï pc) supply it. Although the addition is most likely not authentic, “our” has been included in the translation due to English stylistic requirements.

[1:74]  ² tn This phrase in Greek is actually thrown forward to the front of the verse to give it emphasis.

[11:54]  ³ tn Grk “lying in ambush against,” but this is a figurative extension of that meaning.

[11:54]  ⁴ tn This term was often used in a hunting context (BDAG 455 s.v. θηρεύω; L&N 27.30). Later examples of this appear in Luke 20.

[13:20]  ⁵ tn Grk “And again.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[13:20]  ⁶ 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.

[24:45]  ⁷ sn Luke does not mention specific texts here, but it is likely that many of the scriptures he mentioned elsewhere in Luke-Acts would have been among those he had in mind.
