Luke 10:7

10:7 Stay 1  in that same house, eating and drinking what they give you, 2  for the worker deserves his pay. 3  Do not move around from house to house.

Luke 19:5

19:5 And when Jesus came to that place, he looked up 4  and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down quickly, 5  because I must 6  stay at your house today.” 7 

Luke 21:36

21:36 But stay alert at all times, 8  praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that must 9  happen, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

Luke 24:49

24:49 And look, I am sending you 10  what my Father promised. 11  But stay in the city 12  until you have been clothed with power 13  from on high.”

1 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

2 tn Grk “eating and drinking the things from them” (an idiom for what the people in the house provide the guests).

3 sn On the phrase the worker deserves his pay see 1 Tim 5:18 and 1 Cor 9:14.

4 tc Most mss (A [D] W [Ψ] Ë13 33vid Ï latt) read “Jesus looking up, saw him and said.” The words “saw him and” are not in א B L T Θ Ë1 579 1241 2542 pc co. Both the testimony for the omission and the natural tendency toward scribal expansion argue for the shorter reading here.

5 tn Grk “hastening, come down.” σπεύσας (speusa") has been translated as a participle of manner.

6 sn I must stay. Jesus revealed the necessity of his associating with people like Zacchaeus (5:31-32). This act of fellowship indicated acceptance.

7 sn On today here and in v. 9, see the note on today in 2:11.

8 sn The call to be alert at all times is a call to remain faithful in looking for the Lord’s return.

9 tn For the translation of μέλλω (mellw) as “must,” see L&N 71.36.

10 tn Grk “sending on you.”

11 tn Grk “the promise of my Father,” with τοῦ πατρός (tou patros) translated as a subjective genitive. This is a reference to the Holy Spirit and looks back to how one could see Messiah had come with the promise of old (Luke 3:15-18). The promise is rooted in Jer 31:31 and Ezek 36:26.

12 sn The city refers to Jerusalem.

13 sn Until you have been clothed with power refers to the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. What the Spirit supplies is enablement. See Luke 12:11-12; 21:12-15. The difference the Spirit makes can be seen in Peter (compare Luke 22:54-62 with Acts 2:14-41).
