Lukas 10:3

10:3 Go! I ¹  am sending you out like lambs ²  surrounded by wolves. ³ 

Kisah Para Rasul 20:29

20:29 I know that after I am gone ⁴  fierce wolves ⁵  will come in among you, not sparing the flock.

[10:3]  ¹ tn Grk “Behold I.” The Greek word ἰδού (idou) has not been translated because it has no exact English equivalent here, but adds interest and emphasis (BDAG 468 s.v. 1).

[10:3]  ² sn On the imagery of lambs see Isa 40:11, Ezek 34:11-31, and John 10:1-18.

[10:3]  ³ sn This imagery of wolves is found in intertestamental Judaism as well; see Pss. Sol. 8:23.

[20:29]  ⁴ tn Grk “after my departure.”

[20:29]  ⁵ tn That is, people like fierce wolves. See BDAG 167-68 s.v. βαρύς 4 on the term translated “fierce.” The battle that will follow would be a savage one.
