Discovery BoxLuke 10:21 
Context10:21 On that same occasion 1 Jesus 2 rejoiced 3 in the Holy Spirit and said, “I praise 4 you, Father, Lord 5 of heaven and earth, because 6 you have hidden these things from the wise 7 and intelligent, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was your gracious will. 8
Luke 12:48
Context12:48 But the one who did not know his master’s will 9 and did things worthy of punishment 10 will receive a light beating. 11 From everyone who has been given much, much will be required, 12 and from the one who has been entrusted with much, 13 even more will be asked. 14
1 tn Grk “In that same hour” (L&N 67.1).
2 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
3 sn Jesus rejoiced. The account of the mission in 10:1-24 ends with several remarks about joy.
4 tn Or “thank.”
5 sn The title Lord is an important name for God, showing his sovereignty, but it is interesting that it comes next to a reference to the Father, a term indicative of God’s care. The two concepts are often related in the NT; see Eph 1:3-6.
6 tn Or “that.”
7 sn See 1 Cor 1:26-31.
8 tn Grk “for (to do) thus was well pleasing before you,” BDAG 325 s.v. ἔμπροσθεν 1.δ; speaking of something taking place “before” God is a reverential way of avoiding direct connection of the action to him.
9 tn Grk “did not know”; the phrase “his master’s will” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context, but must be supplied for the contemporary English reader.
10 tn Grk “blows.”
11 tn Grk “will receive few (blows).”
12 tn Grk “required from him”; but the words “from him” are redundant in English and have not been translated.
13 sn Entrusted with much. To be gifted with precious responsibility is something that requires faithfulness.
14 tn Grk “they will ask even more.”
