Lukas 2:45

2:45 When ¹  they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem ²  to look for him.

Lukas 4:12

4:12 Jesus ³  answered him, ⁴  “It is said, ‘You are not to put the Lord your God to the test.’” ⁵ 

[2:45]  ¹ tn Grk “And when.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[2:45]  ² sn The return to Jerusalem would have taken a second day, since they were already one day’s journey away.

[4:12]  ³ tn Grk “And Jesus.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[4:12]  ⁴ tn Grk “Jesus, answering, said to him.” This is redundant in English and has been simplified to “Jesus answered him.”

[4:12]  ⁵ sn A quotation from Deut 6:16 used by Jesus in reply to the devil. The point is that God’s faithfulness should not be put to the test, but is rather a given.
