6:11 But they were filled with mindless rage ¹  and began debating with one another what they would do ²  to Jesus.

Lukas 7:31

7:31 “To what then should I compare the people ³  of this generation, and what are they like?

Lukas 10:10

10:10 But whenever ⁴  you enter a town ⁵  and the people ⁶  do not welcome ⁷  you, go into its streets ⁸  and say,

Lukas 18:5

18:5 yet because this widow keeps on bothering me, I will give her justice, or in the end she will wear me out ⁹  by her unending pleas.’” ¹⁰ 

Lukas 21:28

21:28 But when these things ¹¹  begin to happen, stand up and raise your heads, because your redemption ¹²  is drawing near.”

Lukas 22:4

22:4 He went away and discussed with the chief priests and officers of the temple guard ¹³  how he might ¹⁴  betray Jesus, ¹⁵  handing him over to them. ¹⁶

[6:11]  ¹ tn The term ἄνοια (anoia) denotes a kind of insane or mindless fury; the opponents were beside themselves with rage. They could not rejoice in the healing, but could only react against Jesus.

[6:11]  ² tn The use of the optative (ποιήσαιεν, poihsaien, “might do”) in an indirect question indicates that the formal opposition and planning of Jesus’ enemies started here (BDF §§385.1; 386.1).

[7:31]  ³ tn Grk “men,” but this is a generic use of ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo"). The comparison that follows in vv. 32-34 describes “this generation,” not Jesus and John.

[10:10]  ⁴ tn Grk “whatever town you enter,” but this is more often expressed in English as “whenever you enter a town.”

[10:10]  ⁵ tn Or “city.”

[10:10]  ⁶ tn Grk “and they”; the referent (the people who live in the town) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[10:10]  ⁷ sn More discussion takes place concerning rejection (the people do not welcome you), as these verses lead into the condemnation of certain towns for their rejection of God’s kingdom.

[10:10]  ⁸ tn The term πλατεῖα (plateia) refers to the “broad street,” so this refers to the main roads of the town.

[18:5]  ⁹ tn The term ὑπωπιάζω (Jupwpiazw) in this context means “to wear someone out by continual annoying” (L&N 25.245).

[18:5]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “by her continual coming,” but the point of annoyance to the judge is her constant pleas for justice (v. 3).

[21:28]  ¹¹ sn These things are all the events of vv. 8-27. Disciples represent the righteous here. The events surrounding the fall of the nation are a down payment on a fuller judgment to come on all humanity. The presence of one guarantees the other.

[21:28]  ¹² sn With Jesus’ return comes the manifestation of judgment and final salvation (redemption).

[22:4]  ¹³ tn The full title στρατηγὸς τοῦ ἱεροῦ (strathgo" tou Jierou; “officer of the temple” or “captain of the temple guard”) is sometimes shortened to στρατηγός as here (L&N 37.91).

[22:4]  ¹⁴ tn Luke uses this frequent indirect question to make his point (BDF §267.2).

[22:4]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:4]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “how he might hand him over to them,” in the sense of “betray him.”

[22:33]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Peter) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:33]  ¹⁸ sn The confidence Peter has in private (Lord, I am ready…) will wilt under the pressure of the public eye.
