Lukas 19:47

19:47 Jesus ¹  was teaching daily in the temple courts. The chief priests and the experts in the law ²  and the prominent leaders among the people were seeking to assassinate ³  him,

Lukas 21:37

21:37 So ⁴  every day Jesus ⁵  was teaching in the temple courts, ⁶  but at night he went and stayed ⁷  on the Mount of Olives. ⁸ 

Lukas 23:5

23:5 But they persisted ⁹  in saying, “He incites ¹⁰  the people by teaching throughout all Judea. It started in Galilee and ended up here!” ¹¹ 

[19:47]  ¹ tn Grk “And he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity. Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[19:47]  ² tn Grk “and the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 5:21.

[19:47]  ³ tn Grk “to destroy.”

[19:47]  sn The action at the temple was the last straw. In their view, if Jesus could cause trouble in the holy place, then he must be stopped, so the leaders were seeking to assassinate him.

[21:37]  ⁴ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” since vv. 37-38 serve as something of a summary or transition from the discourse preceding to the passion narrative that follows.

[21:37]  ⁵ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[21:37]  ⁶ tn Grk “in the temple.”

[21:37]  ⁷ tn Grk “and spent the night,” but this is redundant because of the previous use of the word “night.”

[21:37]  ⁸ tn Grk “at the mountain called ‘of Olives.’”

[21:37]  sn See the note on the phrase Mount of Olives in 19:29.

[23:5]  ⁹ tn Or “were adamant.” For “persisted in saying,” see L&N 68.71.

[23:5]  ¹⁰ sn He incites the people. The Jewish leadership claimed that Jesus was a political threat and had to be stopped. By reiterating this charge of stirring up rebellion, they pressured Pilate to act, or be accused of overlooking political threats to Rome.

[23:5]  ¹¹ tn Grk “beginning from Galilee until here.”
