Lukas 6:38
Konteks6:38 Give, and it will be given to you: A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, 1 will be poured 2 into your lap. For the measure you use will be the measure you receive.” 3
Lukas 11:32
Konteks11:32 The people 4 of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented when Jonah preached to them 5 – and now, 6 something greater than Jonah is here!
[6:38] 1 sn The background to the image pressed down, shaken together, running over is pouring out grain for measure in the marketplace. One often poured the grain into a container, shook it to level out the grain and then poured in some more. Those who are generous have generosity running over for them.
[6:38] 2 tn Grk “they will give”; that is, “pour.” The third person plural has been replaced by the passive in the translation.
[6:38] 3 tn Grk “by [the measure] with which you measure it will be measured back to you.”
[11:32] 4 tn See the note on the word “people” in v. 31.
[11:32] 5 tn Grk “at the preaching of Jonah.”
[11:32] sn The phrase repented when Jonah preached to them confirms that in this context the sign of Jonah (v. 30) is his message.
