Luke 16:29

16:29 But Abraham said, 1  ‘They have Moses and the prophets; they must respond to 2  them.’

1 tn Grk “says.” This is one of the few times Luke uses the historical present.

2 tn Or “obey”; Grk “hear.” This recalls the many OT texts calling for a righteous heart to respond to people in need (Deut 14:28-29; Isa 3:14-15; Amos 2:6-8; Mic 2:1-2; Zech 7:9-10).
