Lukas 6:49

6:49 But the person who hears and does not put my words into practice ¹  is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When ²  the river burst against that house, ³  it collapsed immediately, and was utterly destroyed!” ⁴ 

Lukas 14:16

14:16 But Jesus ⁵  said to him, “A man once gave a great banquet ⁶  and invited ⁷  many guests. ⁸ 

Lukas 16:26

16:26 Besides all this, ⁹  a great chasm ¹⁰  has been fixed between us, ¹¹  so that those who want to cross over from here to you cannot do so, and no one can cross from there to us.’

Lukas 22:12

22:12 Then he will show you a large furnished room upstairs. Make preparations there.”

[6:49]  ¹ tn Grk “does not do [them].”

[6:49]  ² tn Grk “against which”; because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, the relative clause was converted to a temporal clause in the translation and a new sentence started here.

[6:49]  ³ tn Grk “it”; the referent (that house) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[6:49]  ⁴ tn Grk “and its crash was great.”

[6:49]  sn The extra phrase at the end of this description (and was utterly destroyed) portrays the great disappointment that the destruction of the house caused as it crashed and was swept away.

[14:16]  ⁵ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[14:16]  ⁶ tn Or “dinner.”

[14:16]  ⁷ sn Presumably those invited would have sent a reply with the invitation stating their desire to attend, much like a modern R.S.V.P. Then they waited for the servant to announce the beginning of the celebration (D. L. Bock, Luke [BECNT], 2:1272).

[14:16]  ⁸ tn The word “guests” is not in the Greek text but is implied.

[16:26]  ⁹ tn Grk “And in all these things.” There is no way Lazarus could carry out this request even if divine justice were not involved.

[16:26]  ¹⁰ sn The great chasm between heaven and hell is impassable forever. The rich man’s former status meant nothing now.

[16:26]  ¹¹ tn Grk “between us and you.”
