Discovery BoxLuke 13:28 
Context13:28 There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth 1 when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, 2 and all the prophets in the kingdom of God 3 but you yourselves thrown out. 4
Luke 23:25
Context23:25 He released the man they asked for, who had been thrown in prison for insurrection and murder. But he handed Jesus over 5 to their will. 6
1 sn Weeping and gnashing of teeth is a figure for remorse and trauma, which occurs here because of exclusion from God’s promise.
2 tn Grk “and Isaac and Jacob,” but καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
3 sn The kingdom of God is a major theme of Jesus. It is a realm in which Jesus rules and to which those who trust him belong. See Luke 6:20; 11:20; 17:20-21.
4 tn Or “being thrown out.” The present accusative participle, ἐκβαλλομένους (ekballomenous), related to the object ὑμᾶς (Jumas), seems to suggest that these evildoers will witness their own expulsion from the kingdom.
5 tn Or “delivered up.”
6 sn He handed Jesus over to their will. Here is where Luke places the major blame for Jesus’ death. It lies with the Jewish nation, especially the leadership, though in Acts 4:24-27 he will bring in the opposition of Herod, Pilate, and all people.
