Lukas 6:7
Konteks6:7 The experts in the law 4 and the Pharisees 5 watched 6 Jesus 7 closely to see if 8 he would heal on the Sabbath, 9 so that they could find a reason to accuse him.

Konteks20:17 But Jesus 10 looked straight at them and said, “Then what is the meaning of that which is written: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’? 11

[5:39] tn Grk “good.”
[5:39] sn The third illustration points out that those already satisfied with what they have will not seek the new (The old is good enough).
[6:7] 4 tn Or “The scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 5:21.
[6:7] 5 sn See the note on Pharisees in 5:17.
[6:7] 6 sn The term translated watched…closely is emotive, since it carries negative connotations. It means they were watching him out of the corner of their eye or spying on him.
[6:7] 7 tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[6:7] 8 tn This is a first class condition in the Greek text; Jesus’ opponents anticipated he would do this.
[6:7] 9 sn The background for this is the view that only if life was endangered should one attempt to heal on the Sabbath (see the Mishnah, m. Shabbat 6.3; 12.1; 18.3; 19.2; m. Yoma 8.6).
[20:17] 10 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[20:17] 11 tn Or “capstone,” “keystone.” Although these meanings are lexically possible, the imagery in Eph 2:20-22 and 1 Cor 3:11 indicates that the term κεφαλὴ γωνίας (kefalh gwnia") refers to a cornerstone, not a capstone.
[20:17] sn The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. The use of Ps 118:22-23 and the “stone imagery” as a reference to Christ and his suffering and exaltation is common in the NT (see also Matt 21:42; Mark 12:10; Acts 4:11; 1 Pet 2:6-8; cf. also Eph 2:20). The irony in the use of Ps 118:22-23 here is that in the OT, Israel was the one rejected (or perhaps her king) by the Gentiles, but in the NT it is Jesus who is rejected by Israel.
