Lukas 9:55

9:55 But Jesus ¹  turned and rebuked them, ² 

Lukas 11:50

11:50 so that this generation may be held accountable ³  for the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the beginning ⁴  of the world, ⁵ 

[9:55]  ¹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[9:55]  ² tc Many mss ([D] K Γ Θ Ë^1,13 [579] 700 2542 pm it) have at the end of the verse (with slight variations) “and he said, ‘You do not know what sort of spirit you are of, for the Son of Man did not come to destroy people’s lives, but to save [them].’” This variant is clearly secondary, as it gives some content to the rebuke. Further, it is difficult to explain how such rich material would have been omitted by the rest of the witnesses, including the earliest and best mss.

[9:55]  sn The point of the rebuke is that now was not the time for judgment but patience; see 2 Pet 3:9.

[11:50]  ³ tn Or “that this generation may be charged with”; or “the blood of all the prophets… may be required from this generation.” This is a warning of judgment. These people are responsible for the shedding of prophetic blood.

[11:50]  ⁴ tn Or “foundation.” However, this does not suggest a time to the modern reader.

[11:50]  ⁵ tn The order of the clauses in this complicated sentence has been rearranged to simplify it for the modern reader.
