Lukas 1:20

1:20 And now, ¹  because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time, ²  you will be silent, unable to speak, ³  until the day these things take place.”

Lukas 21:24

21:24 They ⁴  will fall by the edge ⁵  of the sword and be led away as captives ⁶  among all nations. Jerusalem ⁷  will be trampled down by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. ⁸ 

[1:20]  ¹ tn Grk “behold.”

[1:20]  ² sn The predicted fulfillment in the expression my words, which will be fulfilled in their time takes place in Luke 1:63-66.

[1:20]  ³ sn Silent, unable to speak. Actually Zechariah was deaf and mute as 1:61-63 indicates, since others had to use gestures to communicate with him.

[21:24]  ⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[21:24]  ⁵ tn Grk “by the mouth of the sword” (an idiom for the edge of a sword).

[21:24]  ⁶ sn Here is the predicted judgment against the nation until the time of Gentile rule has passed: Its people will be led away as captives.

[21:24]  ⁷ tn Grk “And Jerusalem.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[21:24]  ⁸ sn Until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled implies a time when Israel again has a central role in God’s plan.
