Lukas 24:19-21

24:19 He ¹  said to them, “What things?” “The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene,” they replied, “a man ²  who, with his powerful deeds and words, proved to be a prophet ³  before God and all the people; 24:20 and how our chief priests and rulers handed him over ⁴  to be condemned to death, and crucified ⁵  him. 24:21 But we had hoped ⁶  that he was the one who was going to redeem ⁷  Israel. Not only this, but it is now the third day since these things happened.

[24:19]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[24:19]  ² tn This translates the Greek term ἀνήρ (anhr).

[24:19]  ³ sn The role of Jesus as prophet is a function Luke frequently mentions: 4:25-27; 9:35; 13:31-35.

[24:20]  ⁴ sn Handed him over is another summary of the passion like Luke 9:22.

[24:20]  ⁵ sn See the note on crucify in 23:21.

[24:21]  ⁶ tn The imperfect verb looks back to the view that they held during Jesus’ past ministry.

[24:21]  ⁷ sn Their messianic hope concerning Jesus is expressed by the phrase who was going to redeem Israel.
