Luke 11:23

Context
11:23 Whoever is not with me is against me, 1  and whoever does not gather with me scatters. 2 

Luke 11:54

Context
11:54 plotting against 3  him, to catch 4  him in something he might say.

1 sn Whoever is not with me is against me. The call here is to join the victor. Failure to do so means that one is being destructive. Responding to Jesus is the issue.

2 sn For the image of scattering, see Pss. Sol. 17:18.

3 tn Grk “lying in ambush against,” but this is a figurative extension of that meaning.

4 tn This term was often used in a hunting context (BDAG 455 s.v. θηρεύω; L&N 27.30). Later examples of this appear in Luke 20.
