Lukas 2:42

2:42 When ¹  he was twelve years old, ²  they went up ³  according to custom.

Lukas 19:19

19:19 So ⁴  the king ⁵  said to him, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’

[2:42]  ¹ tn Grk “And when.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[2:42]  ² sn According to the Mishnah, the age of twelve years old is one year before a boy becomes responsible for his religious commitments (m. Niddah 5.6).

[2:42]  ³ tc Most mss, especially later ones (A C^vid Θ Ψ 0130 Ë^1,13 33 Ï lat) have εἰς ῾Ιεροσόλυμα (eij" &ierosoluma, “to Jerusalem”) here, but the ms support for the omission is much stronger (א B D L W 579 1241 pc co); further, the longer reading clarifies what they went up to and thus looks like a motivated reading.

[19:19]  ⁴ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the second slave’s report.

[19:19]  ⁵ tn Grk “he”; the referent (the nobleman of v. 12, now a king) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
