Lukas 2:40

2:40 And the child grew and became strong, ¹  filled with wisdom, ²  and the favor ³  of God ⁴  was upon him.

Lukas 21:27

21:27 Then ⁵  they will see the Son of Man arriving in a cloud ⁶  with power and great glory.

[2:40]  ¹ tc Most mss (A Θ Ψ Ë^1,13 33 Ï) read πνεύματι (pneumati, “in spirit”) after “became strong,” but this looks like an assimilation to Luke 1:80. The better witnesses (א B D L N W pc lat co) lack the word.

[2:40]  ² sn With the description grew and became strong, filled with wisdom Luke emphasizes the humanity of Jesus and his growth toward maturity.

[2:40]  ³ tn Or “grace.”

[2:40]  ⁴ sn On the phrase the favor of God see Luke 1:66.

[21:27]  ⁵ tn Grk “And then” (καὶ τότε, kai tote). Here καί has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[21:27]  ⁶ sn An allusion to Dan 7:13. Here is Jesus returning with full judging authority.
