Luke 10:10

10:10 But whenever ¹  you enter a town ²  and the people ³  do not welcome ⁴  you, go into its streets ⁵  and say,

Luke 13:26

13:26 Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’ ⁶

¹ tn Grk “whatever town you enter,” but this is more often expressed in English as “whenever you enter a town.”

² tn Or “city.”

³ tn Grk “and they”; the referent (the people who live in the town) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁴ sn More discussion takes place concerning rejection (the people do not welcome you), as these verses lead into the condemnation of certain towns for their rejection of God’s kingdom.

⁵ tn The term πλατεῖα (plateia) refers to the “broad street,” so this refers to the main roads of the town.

⁶ sn This term refers to wide streets, and thus suggests the major streets of a city.
