Lukas 18:32-33

18:32 For he will be handed over ¹  to the Gentiles; he will be mocked, ²  mistreated, ³  and spat on. ⁴  18:33 They will flog him severely ⁵  and kill him. Yet ⁶  on the third day he will rise again.”

Lukas 20:20

Paying Taxes to Caesar

20:20 Then ⁷  they watched him carefully and sent spies who pretended to be sincere. ⁸  They wanted to take advantage of what he might say ⁹  so that they could deliver him up to the authority and jurisdiction ¹⁰  of the governor.

[18:32]  ¹ sn The passive voice verb be handed over does not indicate by whom, but other passages note the Jewish leadership and betrayal (9:22, 44).

[18:32]  ² sn See Luke 22:63; 23:11, 36.

[18:32]  ³ tn Or “and insulted.” L&N 33.390 and 88.130 note ὑβρίζω (Jubrizw) can mean either “insult” or “mistreat with insolence.”

[18:32]  ⁴ sn And spat on. Later Luke does not note this detail in the passion narrative in chaps. 22-23, but see Mark 14:65; 15:19; Matt 26:67; 27:30 where Jesus’ prediction is fulfilled.

[18:33]  ⁵ tn Traditionally, “scourge” (the term means to beat severely with a whip, L&N 19.9). BDAG 620 s.v. μαστιγόω 1. states, “Of the beating (Lat. verberatio) given those condemned to death…J 19:1; cf. Mt 20:19; Mk 10:34; Lk 18:33.” Here the term has been translated “flog…severely” to distinguish it from the term φραγελλόω (fragellow) used in Matt 27:26; Mark 15:15.

[18:33]  ⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “yet” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[20:20]  ⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[20:20]  ⁸ tn Grk “righteous,” but in this context the point is their false sincerity.

[20:20]  ⁹ tn Grk “so that they might catch him in some word.”

[20:20]  ¹⁰ tn This word is often translated “authority” in other contexts, but here, in combination with ἀρχή (arch), it refers to the domain or sphere of the governor’s rule (L&N 37.36).
