Lukas 2:46

2:46 After ¹  three days ²  they found him in the temple courts, ³  sitting among the teachers, ⁴  listening to them and asking them questions.

Lukas 16:30-31

16:30 Then ⁵  the rich man ⁶  said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if someone from the dead ⁷  goes to them, they will repent.’ 16:31 He ⁸  replied to him, ‘If they do not respond to ⁹  Moses and the prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’” ¹⁰ 

Lukas 24:29

24:29 but they urged him, ¹¹  “Stay with us, because it is getting toward evening and the day is almost done.” So ¹²  he went in to stay with them.

Lukas 24:41

24:41 And while they still could not believe it ¹³  (because of their joy) and were amazed, ¹⁴  he said to them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” ¹⁵ 

[2:46]  ¹ tn Grk “And it happened that after.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated. Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[2:46]  ² sn Three days means there was one day out, another day back, and a third day of looking in Jerusalem.

[2:46]  ³ tn Grk “the temple.”

[2:46]  ⁴ tn This is the only place in Luke’s Gospel where the term διδάσκαλος (didaskalo", “teacher”) is applied to Jews.

[16:30]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[16:30]  ⁶ tn Grk “he”; the referent (the rich man, v. 19) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[16:30]  ⁷ sn If someone from the dead goes to them. The irony and joy of the story is that what is denied the rich man’s brothers, a word of warning from beyond the grave, is given to the reader of the Gospel in this exchange.

[16:31]  ⁸ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[16:31]  ⁹ tn Or “obey”; Grk “hear.” See the note on the phrase “respond to” in v. 29.

[16:31]  ¹⁰ sn The concluding statement of the parable, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead, provides a hint that even Jesus’ resurrection will not help some to respond. The message of God should be good enough. Scripture is the sign to be heeded.

[24:29]  ¹¹ tn Grk “urged him, saying.” The participle λέγοντες (legontes, “saying”) has not been translated because it is redundant in contemporary English.

[24:29]  ¹² tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the disciples’ request.

[24:41]  ¹³ sn They still could not believe it. Is this a continued statement of unbelief? Or is it a rhetorical expression of their amazement? They are being moved to faith, so a rhetorical force is more likely here.

[24:41]  ¹⁴ sn Amazement is the common response to unusual activity: 1:63; 2:18; 4:22; 7:9; 8:25; 9:43; 11:14; 20:26.

[24:41]  ¹⁵ sn Do you have anything here to eat? Eating would remove the idea that a phantom was present. Angelic spirits refused a meal in Jdt 13:16 and Tob 12:19, but accepted it in Gen 18:8; 19:3 and Tob 6:6.
