Lukas 5:35

5:35 But those days are coming, and when the bridegroom is taken from them, ¹  at that time ²  they will fast.”

Lukas 16:29

16:29 But Abraham said, ³  ‘They have Moses and the prophets; they must respond to ⁴  them.’

Lukas 24:4

24:4 While ⁵  they were perplexed ⁶  about this, suddenly ⁷  two men stood beside them in dazzling ⁸  attire.

[5:35]  ¹ sn The statement when the bridegroom is taken from them is a veiled allusion by Jesus to his death, which he did not make explicit until the incident at Caesarea Philippi in 9:18ff.

[5:35]  ² tn Grk “then in those days.”

[16:29]  ³ tn Grk “says.” This is one of the few times Luke uses the historical present.

[16:29]  ⁴ tn Or “obey”; Grk “hear.” This recalls the many OT texts calling for a righteous heart to respond to people in need (Deut 14:28-29; Isa 3:14-15; Amos 2:6-8; Mic 2:1-2; Zech 7:9-10).

[24:4]  ⁵ tn Grk “And it happened that while.” 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.

[24:4]  ⁶ tn Or “bewildered.” The term refers to a high state of confusion and anxiety.

[24:4]  ⁷ tn Grk “behold.”

[24:4]  ⁸ sn The brilliantly shining clothing (dazzling attire) points to the fact that these are angels (see 24:23).
