Lukas 17:27

17:27 People ¹  were eating, ²  they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage – right up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then ³  the flood came and destroyed them all. ⁴ 

Lukas 24:47

24:47 and repentance ⁵  for the forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed ⁶  in his name to all nations, ⁷  beginning from Jerusalem. ⁸ 

[17:27]  ¹ tn Grk “They.” The plural in Greek is indefinite, referring to people in general.

[17:27]  ² tn These verbs (“eating… drinking… marrying… being given in marriage”) are all progressive imperfects, describing action in progress at that time.

[17:27]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[17:27]  ⁴ sn Like that flood came and destroyed them all, the coming judgment associated with the Son of Man will condemn many.

[24:47]  ⁵ sn This repentance has its roots in declarations of the Old Testament. It is the Hebrew concept of a turning of direction.

[24:47]  ⁶ tn Or “preached,” “announced.”

[24:47]  ⁷ sn To all nations. The same Greek term (τὰ ἔθνη, ta eqnh) may be translated “the Gentiles” or “the nations.” The hope of God in Christ was for all the nations from the beginning.

[24:47]  ⁸ sn Beginning from Jerusalem. See Acts 2, which is where it all starts.
