Lukas 20:26

20:26 Thus ¹  they were unable in the presence of the people to trap ²  him with his own words. ³  And stunned ⁴  by his answer, they fell silent.

Lukas 7:16

7:16 Fear ⁵  seized them all, and they began to glorify ⁶  God, saying, “A great prophet ⁷  has appeared ⁸  among us!” and “God has come to help ⁹  his people!”

[20:26]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “thus” to indicate the implied result of Jesus’ unexpected answer.

[20:26]  ² tn On this term, see BDAG 374 s.v. ἐπιλαμβάνομαι 3.

[20:26]  ³ tn Grk “to trap him in a saying.”

[20:26]  ⁴ tn Or “amazed.”

[7:16]  ⁵ tn Or “Awe.” Grk “fear,” but the context and the following remark show that it is mixed with wonder; see L&N 53.59. This is a reaction to God’s work; see Luke 5:9.

[7:16]  ⁶ tn This imperfect verb has been translated as an ingressive imperfect.

[7:16]  ⁷ sn That Jesus was a great prophet was a natural conclusion for the crowd to make, given the healing; but Jesus is more than this. See Luke 9:8, 19-20.

[7:16]  ⁸ tn Grk “arisen.”

[7:16]  ⁹ tn Grk “visited,” but this conveys a different impression to a modern reader. L&N 85.11 renders the verb, “to be present, with the implication of concern – ‘to be present to help, to be on hand to aid.’ … ‘God has come to help his people’ Lk 7:16.” The language recalls Luke 1:68, 78.
