Luke 10:17

Context

10:17 Then 1  the seventy-two 2  returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons submit to 3  us in your name!” 4 

Luke 10:20

Context
10:20 Nevertheless, do not rejoice that 5  the spirits submit to you, but rejoice 6  that your names stand written 7  in heaven.”

1 tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

2 tc See the tc note on the number “seventy-two” in Luke 10:1.

3 tn Or “the demons obey”; see L&N 36.18.

4 tn The prepositional phrase “in your name” indicates the sphere of authority for the messengers’ work of exorcism.

5 tn Grk “do not rejoice in this, that.” This is awkward in contemporary English and has been simplified to “do not rejoice that.”

6 tn The verb here is a present imperative, so the call is to an attitude of rejoicing.

7 tn The verb here, a perfect tense, stresses a present reality of that which was a completed action, that is, their names were etched in the heavenly stone, as it were.
