Luke 7:23

7:23 Blessed is anyone who takes no offense at me.”

Luke 10:16

10:16 “The one who listens to you listens to me, and the one who rejects you rejects me, and the one who rejects me rejects the one who sent me.”


tn Grk “whoever.”

tn Grk “hears you”; but as the context of vv. 8-9 makes clear, it is response that is the point. In contemporary English, “listen to” is one way to express this function (L&N 31.56).

sn Jesus linked himself to the disciples’ message: Responding to the disciples (listens to you) counts as responding to him.

tn The double mention of rejection in this clause – ἀθετῶν ἀθετεῖ (aqetwn aqetei) in the Greek text – keeps up the emphasis of the section.

sn The one who sent me refers to God.
