Luke 13:4

13:4 Or those eighteen who were killed 18  when the tower in Siloam fell on them, 19  do you think they were worse offenders than all the others who live in Jerusalem? 20 

Luke 18:31

1 tn Grk “at that very hour.”

2 tn Grk “And coming up.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style. The participle ἐπιστᾶσα (epistasa) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

3 tn The imperfect ἐλάλει (elalei) here looks at a process of declaration, not a single moment. She clearly was led by God to address men and women about the hope Jesus was. The testimony of Luke 1—2 to Jesus has involved all types of people.

4 tn Grk “him”; the referent (the child) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

5 tc A few mss (1216 pc) read ᾿Ισραήλ (Israhl, “Israel”) or ἐν τῷ ᾿Ισραήλ (en tw Israhl, “in Israel”), but this reading does not have enough ms support to be considered authentic. More substantial is the reading ἐν ᾿Ιερουσαλήμ (en Ierousalhm, “in Jerusalem”; found in A D L Θ Ψ 0130 Ë13 33 Ï), though the preposition was almost surely added to clarify (and perhaps alter) the meaning of the original. The simple ᾿Ιερουσαλήμ, without preposition, is found in א B W Ξ 1 565* lat co.

10 sn The reference to the highest point of the temple probably refers to the one point on the temple’s southeast corner where the site looms directly over a cliff some 450 feet (135 m) high. However, some have suggested the reference could be to the temple’s high gate.

11 tn This is another first class condition, as in v. 3.

12 tn Grk “answering, said.” This is redundant in contemporary English and has been simplified to “replied.”

17 sn That is, in a state between life and death; severely wounded.

18 tn Grk “on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them.” This relative clause embedded in a prepositional phrase is complex in English and has been simplified to an adjectival and a temporal clause in the translation.

19 sn Unlike the previous event, when the tower in Siloam fell on them, it was an accident of fate. It raised the question, however, “Was this a judgment?”

34 sn Until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled implies a time when Israel again has a central role in God’s plan.

35 tn Grk “answering him, said.” This is redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation.

36 sn There is irony and almost a sense of mocking disbelief as the question “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things that have happened there in these days?” comes to Jesus; but, of course, the readers know what the travelers do not.

37 tn Grk “in it” (referring to the city of Jerusalem).
