Luke 11:51
Context11:51 from the blood of Abel 1 to the blood of Zechariah, 2 who was killed 3 between the altar and the sanctuary. 4 Yes, I tell you, it will be charged against 5 this generation.
Luke 16:26
Context16:26 Besides all this, 6 a great chasm 7 has been fixed between us, 8 so that those who want to cross over from here to you cannot do so, and no one can cross from there to us.’
1 sn Gen 4:10 indicates that Abel’s blood cried out for justice.
2 sn It is not clear which Zechariah is meant here. It is probably the person mentioned in 2 Chr 24:20-25.
3 tn Or “who perished.”
4 tn Or “and the temple”; Grk “and the house,” but in this context a reference to the house of God as a place of sanctuary.
5 tn Or “required from.”
6 tn Grk “And in all these things.” There is no way Lazarus could carry out this request even if divine justice were not involved.
7 sn The great chasm between heaven and hell is impassable forever. The rich man’s former status meant nothing now.
8 tn Grk “between us and you.”
