Lukas 5:30

5:30 But ¹  the Pharisees ²  and their experts in the law ³  complained ⁴  to his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?” ⁵ 

[5:30]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the implied contrast present in this context.

[5:30]  ² sn See the note on Pharisees in 5:17.

[5:30]  ³ tn Or “and their scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 5:21.

[5:30]  ⁴ tn Or “grumbled”; a term often used in the OT for inappropriate grumbling: Exod 15:24; 16:7-8; Num 14:2, 26-35; 16:11.

[5:30]  ⁵ sn The issue here is inappropriate associations (eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners) and the accusation comes not against Jesus, but his disciples.
