Lukas 16:28

16:28 (for I have five brothers) to warn ⁴  them so that they don’t come ⁵  into this place of torment.’

[4:22]  ¹ tn Grk “And all.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[4:22]  ² tn Grk “And they.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[4:22]  ³ sn The form of the question assumes a positive reply. It really amounts to an objection, as Jesus’ response in the next verses shows. Jesus spoke smoothly and impressively.

[16:28]  ⁴ sn To warn them. The warning would consist of a call to act differently than their dead brother had, or else meet his current terrible fate.

[16:28]  ⁵ tn Grk “lest they also come.”
