Lukas 15:1

The Parable of the Lost Sheep and Coin

15:1 Now all the tax collectors ¹  and sinners were coming ²  to hear him.

Lukas 19:7

19:7 And when the people ³  saw it, they all complained, ⁴  “He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner.” ⁵ 

Lukas 24:7

24:7 that ⁶  the Son of Man must be delivered ⁷  into the hands of sinful men, ⁸  and be crucified, ⁹  and on the third day rise again.” ¹⁰ 

[15:1]  ¹ sn See the note on tax collectors in 3:12.

[15:1]  ² tn Grk “were drawing near.”

[19:7]  ³ tn Grk “they”; the referent is unspecified but is probably the crowd in general, who would have no great love for a man like Zacchaeus who had enriched himself many times over at their expense.

[19:7]  ⁴ tn This term is used only twice in the NT, both times in Luke (here and 15:2) and has negative connotations both times (BDAG 227 s.v. διαγογγύζω). The participle λέγοντες (legonte") is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[19:7]  ⁵ sn Being the guest of a man who is a sinner was a common complaint about Jesus: Luke 5:31-32; 7:37-50; 15:1-2.

[24:7]  ⁶ tn Grk “saying that,” but this would be redundant in English. Although the translation represents this sentence as indirect discourse, the Greek could equally be taken as direct discourse: “Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee: ‘the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’”

[24:7]  ⁷ tn See Luke 9:22, 44; 13:33.

[24:7]  ⁸ tn Because in the historical context the individuals who were primarily responsible for the death of Jesus (the Jewish leadership in Jerusalem in Luke’s view [see Luke 9:22]) would have been men, the translation “sinful men” for ἀνθρώπων ἁμαρτωλῶν (anqrwpwn Jamartwlwn) is retained here.

[24:7]  ⁹ sn See the note on crucify in 23:21.

[24:7]  ¹⁰ tn Here the infinitive ἀναστῆναι (anasthnai) is active rather than passive.
