Lukas 9:3

9:3 He ¹  said to them, “Take nothing for your ²  journey – no staff, ³  no bag, ⁴  no bread, no money, and do not take an extra tunic. ⁵ 

Lukas 24:18

24:18 Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered him, ⁶  “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who doesn’t know ⁷  the things that have happened there ⁸  in these days?”

[9:3]  ¹ tn Grk “And he.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[9:3]  ² tn Grk “the”; in context the article is used as a possessive pronoun (ExSyn 215).

[9:3]  ³ sn Mark 6:8 allows one staff. It might be that Luke’s summary (cf. Matt 10:9-10) means not taking an extra staff or that the expression is merely rhetorical for “traveling light” which has been rendered in two slightly different ways.

[9:3]  ⁴ tn Or “no traveler’s bag”; or possibly “no beggar’s bag” (L&N 6.145; BDAG 811 s.v. πήρα).

[9:3]  ⁵ tn Grk “have two tunics.” See the note on the word “tunics” in 3:11.

[24:18]  ⁶ tn Grk “answering him, said.” This is redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation.

[24:18]  ⁷ 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]  ⁸ tn Grk “in it” (referring to the city of Jerusalem).
