Lukas 21:12

21:12 But before all this, ¹  they will seize ²  you and persecute you, handing you over to the synagogues ³  and prisons. You ⁴  will be brought before kings and governors because of my name.

Lukas 24:44

Jesus’ Final Commission

24:44 Then ⁵  he said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me ⁶  in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms ⁷  must be fulfilled.”

[21:12]  ¹ sn But before all this. Another note of timing is present, this one especially important in understanding the sequence in the discourse. Before the things noted in vv. 8-11 are the events of vv. 12-19.

[21:12]  ² tn Grk “will lay their hands on you.”

[21:12]  ³ sn Some of the persecution is of Jewish origin (the synagogues). Some fulfillment of this can be seen in Acts. See the note on synagogues in 4:15.

[21:12]  ⁴ tn Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[24:44]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[24:44]  ⁶ sn Everything written about me. The divine plan, events, and scripture itself are seen here as being one.

[24:44]  ⁷ sn For a similar threefold division of the OT scriptures, see the prologue to Sirach, lines 8-10, and from Qumran, the epilogue to 4QMMT, line 10.
