3:18 And in this way, 1 with many other exhortations, John 2 proclaimed good news to the people.
13:22 Then 7 Jesus 8 traveled throughout 9 towns 10 and villages, teaching and making his way toward 11 Jerusalem. 12
17:11 Now on 13 the way to Jerusalem, 14 Jesus 15 was passing along 16 between Samaria and Galilee.

2 tn Grk “he”; the referent (John) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
3 tn Grk “their midst.”
4 tn The verb πορεύομαι (poreuomai) in Luke often suggests divine direction, “to go in a led direction” (4:42; 7:6, 11; 9:51, 52, 56, 57; 13:33; 17:11; 22:22, 29; 24:28). It could suggest that Jesus is on a journey, a theme that definitely is present later in Luke 9-19.
5 tn This is a generic use of ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo"), referring to both males and females.
6 sn Jesus’ teaching as reflected in the phrase treat others in the same way you would want them to treat you, known generally as the Golden Rule, is not completely unique in the ancient world, but it is stated here in its most emphatic, selfless form.

11 tn Grk “making his journey toward.” This is the first of several travel notes in Luke’s Jerusalem journey section of Luke 9-19; other notes appear at 17:11; 18:31; 19:28, 41.

14 sn This is another travel note about Jesus going to Jerusalem in Luke 9:51-19:48, the so-called “Jerusalem journey” section of Luke’s Gospel. It is not a straight line journey, because to travel along the Galilean and Samaritan border is to go east or west, not south to Jerusalem.
