Lukas 2:42

2:42 When ¹  he was twelve years old, ²  they went up ³  according to custom.

Lukas 17:17

17:17 Then ⁴  Jesus said, ⁵  “Were ⁶  not ten cleansed? Where are the other ⁷  nine?

[2:42]  ¹ tn Grk “And when.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[2:42]  ² sn According to the Mishnah, the age of twelve years old is one year before a boy becomes responsible for his religious commitments (m. Niddah 5.6).

[2:42]  ³ tc Most mss, especially later ones (A C^vid Θ Ψ 0130 Ë^1,13 33 Ï lat) have εἰς ῾Ιεροσόλυμα (eij" &ierosoluma, “to Jerusalem”) here, but the ms support for the omission is much stronger (א B D L W 579 1241 pc co); further, the longer reading clarifies what they went up to and thus looks like a motivated reading.

[17:17]  ⁴ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[17:17]  ⁵ tn Grk “Jesus answering said”; this is redundant in contemporary English and has been simplified in the translation.

[17:17]  ⁶ tn The Greek construction used here (οὐχί, ouci) expects a positive reply.

[17:17]  ⁷ tn The word “other” is implied in the context.
