Luke 16:14

Context
More Warnings about the Pharisees

16:14 The Pharisees 1  (who loved money) heard all this and ridiculed 2  him.

Luke 16:23

Context
16:23 And in hell, 3  as he was in torment, 4  he looked up 5  and saw Abraham far off with Lazarus at his side. 6 

1 sn See the note on Pharisees in 5:17.

2 tn A figurative extension of the literal meaning “to turn one’s nose up at someone”; here “ridicule, sneer at, show contempt for” (L&N 33.409).

3 sn The Greek term Hades stands for the Hebrew concept of Sheol. It is what is called hell today. This is where the dead were gathered (Ps 16:10; 86:13). In the NT Hades has an additional negative force of awaiting judgment (Rev 20:13).

4 sn Hades is a place of torment, especially as one knows that he is separated from God.

5 tn Grk “he lifted up his eyes” (an idiom).

6 tn Grk “in his bosom,” the same phrase used in 16:22. This idiom refers to heaven and/or participation in the eschatological banquet. An appropriate modern equivalent is “at Abraham’s side.”
