Lukas 12:4

12:4 “I ¹  tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, ²  and after that have nothing more they can do.

Lukas 12:20

12:20 But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life ³  will be demanded back from ⁴  you, but who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’ ⁵ 

[12:4]  ¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[12:4]  ² sn Judaism had a similar exhortation in 4 Macc 13:14-15.

[12:20]  ³ tn Grk “your soul,” but ψυχή (yuch) is frequently used of one’s physical life. It clearly has that meaning in this context.

[12:20]  ⁴ tn Or “required back.” This term, ἀπαιτέω (apaitew), has an economic feel to it and is often used of a debt being called in for repayment (BDAG 96 s.v. 1).

[12:20]  ⁵ tn Grk “the things you have prepared, whose will they be?” The words “for yourself” are not in the Greek text, but are implied.
