Luke 14:9

14:9 So the host who invited both of you will come and say to you, ‘Give this man your place.’ Then, ashamed, you will begin to move to the least important place.

Luke 24:48

24:48 You are witnesses of these things.

tn Grk “host, and.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate this action is a result of the situation described in the previous verse. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

tn Or “then in disgrace”; Grk “with shame.” In this culture avoiding shame was important.

tn Grk “lowest place” (also in the repetition of the phrase in the next verse).

sn You are witnesses. This becomes a key concept of testimony in Acts. See Acts 1:8.
