Lukas 22:54

Jesus’ Condemnation and Peter’s Denials

22:54 Then ¹  they arrested ²  Jesus, ³  led him away, and brought him into the high priest’s house. ⁴  But Peter was following at a distance.

Lukas 22:63-65

22:63 Now ⁵  the men who were holding Jesus ⁶  under guard began to mock him and beat him. 22:64 They ⁷  blindfolded him and asked him repeatedly, ⁸  “Prophesy! Who hit you?” ⁹  22:65 They also said many other things against him, reviling ¹⁰  him.

[22:54]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[22:54]  ² tn Or “seized” (L&N 37.109).

[22:54]  ³ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:54]  ⁴ sn Putting all the gospel accounts together, there is a brief encounter with Annas (brought him into the high priest’s house, here and John 18:13, where Annas is named); the meeting led by Caiaphas (Matt 26:57-68 = Mark 14:53-65; and then a Sanhedrin meeting (Matt 27:1; Mark 15:1; Luke 22:66-71). These latter two meetings might be connected and apparently went into the morning.

[22:63]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.

[22:63]  ⁶ tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:64]  ⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[22:64]  ⁸ tn The verb ἐπηρώτων (ephrwtwn) has been translated as an iterative imperfect. The participle λέγοντες (legontes) is redundant in English and has not been translated here.

[22:64]  ⁹ tn Grk “Who is the one who hit you?”

[22:64]  sn Who hit you? This is a variation of one of three ancient games that involved blindfolds.

[22:65]  ¹⁰ tn Or “insulting.” Luke uses a strong word here; it means “to revile, to defame, to blaspheme” (L&N 33.400).
