Lukas 20:42

20:42 For David himself says in the book of Psalms,

‘The Lord said to my ¹  lord,

“Sit at my right hand,

Lukas 22:42

22:42 “Father, if you are willing, take ²  this cup ³  away from me. Yet not my will but yours ⁴  be done.”

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 

[20:42]  ¹ sn The Lord said to my Lord. With David being the speaker, this indicates his respect for his descendant (referred to as my Lord). Jesus was arguing, as the ancient exposition assumed, that the passage is about the Lord’s anointed. The passage looks at an enthronement of this figure and a declaration of honor for him as he takes his place at the side of God. In Jerusalem, the king’s palace was located to the right of the temple to indicate this kind of relationship. Jesus was pressing the language here to get his opponents to reflect on how great Messiah is.

[22:42]  ² tn Luke’s term παρένεγκε is not as exact as the one in Matt 26:39. Luke’s means “take away” (BDAG 772 s.v. παρένεγκε 2.c) while Matthew’s means “take away without touching,” suggesting an alteration (if possible) in God’s plan. For further discussion see D. L. Bock, Luke (BECNT), 2:1759-60.

[22:42]  ³ sn This cup alludes to the wrath of God that Jesus would experience (in the form of suffering and death) for us. See Ps 11:6; 75:8-9; Isa 51:17, 19, 22 for this figure.

[22:42]  ⁴ sn With the statement “Not my will but yours be done” Jesus submitted fully to God’s will.

[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.
