Lukas 14:13-14

14:13 But when you host an elaborate meal, ¹  invite the poor, the crippled, ²  the lame, and ³  the blind. ⁴  14:14 Then ⁵  you will be blessed, ⁶  because they cannot repay you, for you will be repaid ⁷  at the resurrection of the righteous.”

Lukas 20:35-36

20:35 But those who are regarded as worthy to share in ⁸  that age and in the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage. ⁹  20:36 In fact, they can no longer die, because they are equal to angels ¹⁰  and are sons of God, since they are ¹¹  sons ¹²  of the resurrection.

[14:13]  ¹ tn This term, δοχή (doch), is a third term for a meal (see v. 12) that could also be translated “banquet, feast.”

[14:13]  ² sn Normally the term means crippled as a result of being maimed or mutilated (L&N 23.177).

[14:13]  ³ tn Here “and” has been supplied between the last two elements in the series in keeping with English style.

[14:13]  ⁴ sn This list of needy is like Luke 7:22. See Deut 14:28-29; 16:11-14; 26:11-13.

[14:14]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate that this follows from the preceding action. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[14:14]  ⁶ sn You will be blessed. God notes and approves of such generosity.

[14:14]  ⁷ sn The passive verb will be repaid looks at God’s commendation.

[20:35]  ⁸ tn Grk “to attain to.”

[20:35]  ⁹ sn Life in the age to come is different than life here (they neither marry nor are given in marriage). This means Jesus’ questioners had made a false assumption that life was the same both now and in the age to come.

[20:36]  ¹⁰ sn Angels do not die, nor do they eat according to Jewish tradition (1 En. 15:6; 51:4; Wis 5:5; 2 Bar. 51:10; 1QH 3.21-23).

[20:36]  ¹¹ tn Grk “sons of God, being.” The participle ὄντες (ontes) has been translated as a causal adverbial participle here.

[20:36]  ¹² tn Or “people.” The noun υἱός (Juios) followed by the genitive of class or kind (“sons of…”) denotes a person of a class or kind, specified by the following genitive construction. This Semitic idiom is frequent in the NT (L&N 9.4).
