[10:18]  ¹ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate that Jesus’ reply in vv. 18-20 follows from the positive report of the messengers in v. 17.

[10:18]  ³ tn In Greek, this is a participle and comes at the end of the verse, making it somewhat emphatic.

[10:18]  ⁴ tn This is probably best taken as allusion to Isa 14:12; the phrase in common is ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ (ek tou ouranou). These exorcisms in Jesus’ name are a picture of Satan’s greater defeat at Jesus’ hands (D. L. Bock, Luke [BECNT], 2:1006-7).

[18:21]  ¹² sn Since my youth. Judaism regarded the age of thirteen as the age when a man would have become responsible to live by God’s commands.
