Luke 2:43

2:43 But 1  when the feast was over, 2  as they were returning home, 3  the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His 4  parents 5  did not know it,

Luke 14:15

The Parable of the Great Banquet

14:15 When 6  one of those at the meal with Jesus 7  heard this, he said to him, “Blessed is everyone 8  who will feast 9  in the kingdom of God!” 10 

1 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated contrastively in keeping with the context. This outcome is different from what had happened all the times before.

2 tn Grk “when the days ended.”

3 tn The word “home” is not in the Greek text, but has been supplied for clarity.

4 tn Grk “And his.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

5 tc Most mss, especially later ones (A C Ψ 0130 Ë13 Ï it), read ᾿Ιωσὴφ καὶ ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ (Iwshf kai Jh mhthr aujtou, “[both] Joseph and his mother”), a reading evidently intended to insulate the doctrine of the virgin conception of our Lord. But א B D L W Θ Ë1 33 579 1241 pc lat sa read οἱ γονεῖς αὐτοῦ (Joi gonei" autou, “his parents”) as in the translation. Such motivated readings as the former lack credibility, especially since the better witnesses affirm the virgin conception of Christ in Luke 1:34-35.

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

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

8 tn Grk “whoever” (the indefinite relative pronoun). This has been translated as “everyone who” to conform to contemporary English style.

9 tn Or “will dine”; Grk “eat bread.” This refers to those who enjoy the endless fellowship of God’s coming rule.

10 sn The kingdom of God is a major theme of Jesus. It is a realm in which Jesus rules and to which those who trust him belong. See Luke 6:20; 11:20; 17:20-21.
