Lukas 21:9

[9:36]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[9:36]  ² tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the concluding summary of the account.

[9:36]  ³ sn Although the disciples told no one at the time, later they did recount this. The commentary on this scene is 2 Pet 1:17-18.

[9:36]  ⁴ tn Grk “in those days.”

[21:9]  ⁵ tn Social and political chaos also precedes the end. This term refers to revolutions (L&N 39.34).

[21:9]  ⁶ tn This is not the usual term for fear, but refers to a deep sense of terror and emotional distress (Luke 24:37; BDAG 895 s.v. πτοέω).

[21:9]  ⁷ sn The end will not come at once. This remark about timing not only indicates that there will be events before the end, but that some time will also pass before it comes.
