Lukas 22:33

22:33 But Peter ¹  said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!” ² 

Lukas 22:49-51

22:49 When ³  those who were around him saw what was about to happen, they said, “Lord, should ⁴  we use our swords?” ⁵  22:50 Then ⁶  one of them ⁷  struck the high priest’s slave, ⁸  cutting off his right ear. 22:51 But Jesus said, ⁹  “Enough of this!” And he touched the man’s ¹⁰  ear and healed ¹¹  him.

[22:33]  ¹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Peter) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:33]  ² sn The confidence Peter has in private (Lord, I am ready…) will wilt under the pressure of the public eye.

[22:49]  ³ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[22:49]  ⁴ tn The direct question using “if” in Greek is not unusual (BDF §440.3).

[22:49]  ⁵ sn “Should we use our swords?” The disciples’ effort to defend Jesus recalls Luke 22:35-38. One individual did not wait for the answer.

[22:50]  ⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[22:50]  ⁷ sn One of them. The unnamed disciple is Peter according to John 18:10 (cf. also Matt 26:51; Mark 14:47).

[22:50]  ⁸ tn See the note on the word “slave” in 7:2.

[22:51]  ⁹ tn Grk “But answering, Jesus said.” This is redundant in contemporary English and has been simplified in the translation.

[22:51]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “his”; the referent (the slave of the high priest mentioned in the previous verse) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:51]  ¹¹ sn When Jesus healed the man’s ear he showed grace even to those who hated him, following his own teaching (Luke 6:27-36).
