Luke 12:14

Context
12:14 But Jesus 1  said to him, “Man, 2  who made me a judge or arbitrator between you two?” 3 

1 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

2 tn This term of address can be harsh or gentle depending on the context (BDAG 82 s.v. ἄνθρωπος 8). Here it is a rebuke.

3 tn The pronoun ὑμᾶς (Jumas) is plural, referring to both the man and his brother; thus the translation “you two.”
