Lukas 18:1
Konteks18:1 Then 1 Jesus 2 told them a parable to show them they should always 3 pray and not lose heart. 4
Lukas 18:5
Konteks18:5 yet because this widow keeps on bothering me, I will give her justice, or in the end she will wear me out 5 by her unending pleas.’” 6
Lukas 22:46
Konteks22:46 So 7 he said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray that you will not fall into temptation!” 8
Lukas 23:47
Konteks23:47 Now when the centurion 9 saw what had happened, he praised God and said, “Certainly this man was innocent!” 10
[18:1] 1 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.
[18:1] 2 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[18:1] 3 tn Or “should pray at all times” (L&N 67.88).
[18:1] 4 sn This is one of the few parables that comes with an explanation at the start: …they should always pray and not lose heart. It is part of Luke’s goal in encouraging Theophilus (1:4).
[18:5] 5 tn The term ὑπωπιάζω (Jupwpiazw) in this context means “to wear someone out by continual annoying” (L&N 25.245).
[18:5] 6 tn Grk “by her continual coming,” but the point of annoyance to the judge is her constant pleas for justice (v. 3).
[22:46] 7 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of Jesus finding them asleep.
[22:46] 8 sn Jesus calls the disciples again to prayerful watchfulness with the words “Get up and pray” (see 22:40). The time is full of danger (22:53).
[23:47] 9 sn See the note on the word centurion in 7:2.
[23:47] 10 tn Or “righteous.” It is hard to know whether “innocent” or “righteous” is intended, as the Greek term used can mean either, and both make good sense in this context. Luke has been emphasizing Jesus as innocent, so that is slightly more likely here. Of course, one idea entails the other.
[23:47] sn Here is a fourth figure who said that Jesus was innocent in this chapter (Pilate, Herod, a criminal, and now a centurion).
