Lukas 19:46

19:46 saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house will be a house of prayer,’ ¹  but you have turned it into a den ²  of robbers!” ³ 

Lukas 10:7

10:7 Stay ⁴  in that same house, eating and drinking what they give you, ⁵  for the worker deserves his pay. ⁶  Do not move around from house to house.

[19:46]  ¹ sn A quotation from Isa 56:7.

[19:46]  ² tn Or “a hideout” (see L&N 1.57).

[19:46]  ³ sn A quotation from Jer 7:11. The meaning of Jesus’ statement about making the temple courts a den of robbers probably operates here at two levels. Not only were the religious leaders robbing the people financially, but because of this they had also robbed them spiritually by stealing from them the opportunity to come to know God genuinely. It is possible that these merchants had recently been moved to this location for convenience.

[10:7]  ⁴ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[10:7]  ⁵ tn Grk “eating and drinking the things from them” (an idiom for what the people in the house provide the guests).

[10:7]  ⁶ sn On the phrase the worker deserves his pay see 1 Tim 5:18 and 1 Cor 9:14.
