Luke 24:7

24:7 that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.”

tn Grk “saying that,” but this would be redundant in English. Although the translation represents this sentence as indirect discourse, the Greek could equally be taken as direct discourse: “Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee: ‘the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’”

tn See Luke 9:22, 44; 13:33.

tn Because in the historical context the individuals who were primarily responsible for the death of Jesus (the Jewish leadership in Jerusalem in Luke’s view [see Luke 9:22]) would have been men, the translation “sinful men” for ἀνθρώπων ἁμαρτωλῶν (anqrwpwn Jamartwlwn) is retained here.

sn See the note on crucify in 23:21.

tn Here the infinitive ἀναστῆναι (anasthnai) is active rather than passive.
