Lukas 9:22

9:22 saying, “The Son of Man must suffer ¹  many things and be rejected by the elders, ²  chief priests, and experts in the law, ³  and be killed, and on the third day be raised.” ⁴ 

Lukas 20:19

20:19 Then ⁵  the experts in the law ⁶  and the chief priests wanted to arrest ⁷  him that very hour, because they realized he had told this parable against them. But ⁸  they were afraid of the people.

[9:22]  ¹ sn The necessity that the Son of Man suffer is the particular point that needed emphasis, since for many 1st century Jews the Messiah was a glorious and powerful figure, not a suffering one.

[9:22]  ² sn Rejection in Luke is especially by the Jewish leadership (here elders, chief priests, and experts in the law), though in Luke 23 almost all will join in.

[9:22]  ³ tn Or “and scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 5:21.

[9:22]  ⁴ sn The description of the Son of Man being rejected…killed, and…raised is the first of six passion summaries in Luke: 9:44; 17:25; 18:31-33; 24:7; 24:46-47.

[20:19]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[20:19]  ⁶ tn Or “The scribes” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 5:21.

[20:19]  ⁷ tn Grk “tried to lay hands on him.”

[20:19]  ⁸ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.
