1 sn Good things refers not merely to material blessings, but blessings that come from knowing God.
2 sn Another fundamental contrast of Luke’s is between the hungry and the rich (Luke 6:20-26).
3 tn Grk “together, saying.” The participle λέγοντες (legontes) is redundant and has not been translated here.
4 tn Grk “this one.” The reference to Jesus as “this man” is pejorative in this context.
5 tc The text reads either “two other criminals” or “others, two criminals.” The first reading (found in Ì75 א B) could be read as describing Jesus as a criminal, while the second (found in A C D L W Θ Ψ 070 0250 Ë1,13 33 Ï) looks like an attempt to prevent this identification. The first reading, more difficult to explain from the other, is likely original.
sn Jesus is numbered among the criminals (see Isa 53:12 and Luke 22:37).
6 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
7 sn Luke tells the story of the empty tomb with little drama. He simply notes that when they arrived the stone had been rolled away in a position where the tomb could be entered. This large stone was often placed in a channel so that it could be easily moved by rolling it aside. The other possibility is that it was merely placed over the opening in a position from which it had now been moved.
