Lukas 16:14

More Warnings about the Pharisees

16:14 The Pharisees ¹  (who loved money) heard all this and ridiculed ²  him.

Lukas 18:35

Healing a Blind Man

18:35 As ³  Jesus ⁴  approached ⁵  Jericho, ⁶  a blind man was sitting by the road begging.

Lukas 23:23

23:23 But they were insistent, ⁷  demanding with loud shouts that he be crucified. And their shouts prevailed.

[16:14]  ¹ sn See the note on Pharisees in 5:17.

[16:14]  ² tn A figurative extension of the literal meaning “to turn one’s nose up at someone”; here “ridicule, sneer at, show contempt for” (L&N 33.409).

[18:35]  ³ tn Grk “Now it happened that as.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[18:35]  ⁴ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[18:35]  ⁵ tn The phrase is “he drew near to” (19:29; 24:28). It is also possible the term merely means “is in the vicinity of.” Also possible is a reversal in the timing of the healing and Zacchaeus events for literary reasons as the blind man “sees” where the rich man with everything did not.

[23:23]  ⁷ tn Though a different Greek term is used here (BDAG 373 s.v. ἐπίκειμαι), this remark is like 23:5.
