Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per frasa)

Robertson: Luk 24:18 - Dost thou alone sojourn?

Dost thou alone sojourn? ( su monos paroikeis̱ ).

Monos is predicate adjective. "Hast thou been dwelling alone (all by thyself)?"

Robertson: Luk 24:18 - And not know?

And not know? ( kai ouk egnōs̱ ).

Second aorist active indicative and difficult to put into English as the aorist often is. The verb paroikeō means to dwell beside one, then as a stranger like paroikoi (Eph 2:19). In Jerusalem everybody was talking about Jesus.

Vincent: Luk 24:18 - Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem

Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem ( σὺ μόνος παροικεῖς Ἰερουσαλὴμ )

Παροικεῖν , to dwell as a stranger, is used in later Greek of strangers who have no rights of citizenship, and no settled home. Compare Heb 11:9. See on strangers, 1Pe 1:1; and compare sojourning, 1Pe 1:17. The only of the A. V. is commonly understood adverbially: " Are you nothing but a stranger?" But the emphasis of the question falls there, and the word is an adjective. Render " Dost thou alone dwell as a stranger in Jerusalem?" Are you the only one who sojourns as a stranger in Jerusalem, and who does not know, etc. So, nearly, Wyc., Thou alone art a pilgrim in Jerusalem.

JFB: Luk 24:17-24 - communications, &c.

The words imply the earnest discussion that had appeared in their manner.

JFB: Luk 24:18 - knowest not, &c.

If he knew not the events of the last few days in Jerusalem, he must be a mere sojourner; if he did, how could he suppose they would be talking of anything else? How artless all this!

Clarke: Luk 24:18 - Cleopas

Cleopas - The same as Alpheus, father of the Apostle James, Mar 3:18, and husband of the sister of the virgin. Joh 19:25

Clarke: Luk 24:18 - Art thou only a stranger

Art thou only a stranger - As if he had said, What has been done it Jerusalem, within these few days, has been so public, so awful, and so universally known, that, if thou hadst been but a lodger in the city for a single night, I cannot conceive how thou couldst miss hearing of these things: indeed, thou appearest to be the only person unacquainted with them.

Defender: Luk 24:18 - Cleopas

The second of the "two of them" who lived in Emmaus (Luk 24:13) was evidently "Mary the wife of Cleophas" (Joh 19:25), for the two evidently had a home in Emmaus where they could invite this "stranger" in for supper and rest (Luk 24:28-30). She had actually observed the crucifixion and may have been among the women who had gone to the tomb that morning."

Poole: Luk 24:18-19 - What things?

Ver. 18,19. The things which had lately happened in Jerusalem were so many, and so unusual, that the disciples wonder that any one coming from Jerusalem should ask, What things? They therefore ask him if he were a mere stranger in Jerusalem, coming from some other country, or from some remoter parts of Judea or Galilee? Or, if he were the only man who had been unconcerned in what was the common discourse both of the town and country? Still our Saviour draws out the discourse from them, by asking them,

What things? They tell him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, a Prophet mighty in deed and word in which phrase Stephen celebrated Moses, Act 7:22 ; that is, one who did not only in an extraordinary manner reveal the will of God unto men, but also did many great and mighty works, and lived a most holy and most exemplary life and conversation, so as that he was not only highly favoured of God, but in great repute and estimation also amongst the people.

Haydock: Luk 24:18 - Art thou alone a stranger in Jerusalem?

Art thou alone a stranger in Jerusalem? or, art thou the only stranger in Jerusalem? which was to signify, that every one must needs have heard of what had passed in regard to Jesus. (Witham)

Gill: Luk 24:18 - And one of them, whose name was Cleophas // answering, said unto him, art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days

And one of them, whose name was Cleophas,.... Or Alphaeus, for it is the same name; he was one of the seventy disciples, and father of the Apostles James and Jude, and brother to Joseph, the husband of Mary, the mother of Christ, as before observed:

answering, said unto him, art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days? The Persic version reads, "in these two days": the sense that whereas he appeared to come from Jerusalem, that if he was only a stranger and a sojourner, and not a stated inhabitant there, he could not be ignorant of what had been done there a few days past; or if he was, that he must be the only stranger, and the only man, that was so; for the facts referred to were so notorious, that every one must know them, inhabitant or stranger.
