Lukas 24:18

24:18 Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered him, ¹  “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who doesn’t know ²  the things that have happened there ³  in these days?”

Lukas 1:39

Mary and Elizabeth

1:39 In those days ⁴  Mary got up and went hurriedly into the hill country, to a town of Judah, ⁵ 

[24:18]  ¹ tn Grk “answering him, said.” This is redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation.

[24:18]  ² sn There is irony and almost a sense of mocking disbelief as the question “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things that have happened there in these days?” comes to Jesus; but, of course, the readers know what the travelers do not.

[24:18]  ³ tn Grk “in it” (referring to the city of Jerusalem).

[1:39]  ⁴ sn The expression In those days is another general time reference, though the sense of the context is that the visit came shortly after Mary miraculously conceived and shortly after the announcement about Jesus.

[1:39]  ⁵ sn The author does not say exactly where Elizabeth stayed. The location is given generally as a town of Judah. Judah is about a three day trip south of Nazareth.
