Luke 11:51

11:51 from the blood of Abel ¹  to the blood of Zechariah, ²  who was killed ³  between the altar and the sanctuary. ⁴  Yes, I tell you, it will be charged against ⁵  this generation.

Luke 16:26

16:26 Besides all this, ⁶  a great chasm ⁷  has been fixed between us, ⁸  so that those who want to cross over from here to you cannot do so, and no one can cross from there to us.’

¹ sn Gen 4:10 indicates that Abel’s blood cried out for justice.

² sn It is not clear which Zechariah is meant here. It is probably the person mentioned in 2 Chr 24:20-25.

³ tn Or “who perished.”

⁴ tn Or “and the temple”; Grk “and the house,” but in this context a reference to the house of God as a place of sanctuary.

⁵ tn Or “required from.”

⁶ tn Grk “And in all these things.” There is no way Lazarus could carry out this request even if divine justice were not involved.

⁷ sn The great chasm between heaven and hell is impassable forever. The rich man’s former status meant nothing now.

⁸ tn Grk “between us and you.”
