Luke 21:18

21:18 Yet not a hair of your head will perish.

Luke 22:68

22:68 and if I ask you, you will not answer.

tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “yet” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

sn Given v. 16, the expression not a hair of your head will perish must be taken figuratively and refer to living ultimately in the presence of God.

tn This is also a third class condition in the Greek text.

tn The negation in the Greek text is the strongest possible (οὐ μή, ou mh).
