Lukas 4:22

4:22 All ¹  were speaking well of him, and were amazed at the gracious words coming out of his mouth. They ²  said, “Isn’t this ³  Joseph’s son?”

Lukas 21:15

21:15 For I will give you the words ⁴  along with the wisdom ⁵  that none of your adversaries will be able to withstand or contradict.

[4:22]  ¹ tn Grk “And all.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[4:22]  ² tn Grk “And they.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[4:22]  ³ sn The form of the question assumes a positive reply. It really amounts to an objection, as Jesus’ response in the next verses shows. Jesus spoke smoothly and impressively. He made a wonderful declaration, but could a local carpenter’s son make such an offer? That was their real question.

[21:15]  ⁴ tn Grk “a mouth.” It is a metonymy and refers to the reply the Lord will give to them.

[21:15]  ⁵ tn Grk “and wisdom.”
