Discovery BoxLuke 15:24 
Context15:24 because this son of mine was dead, and is alive again – he was lost and is found!’ 1 So 2 they began to celebrate.
Luke 24:7
Context24:7 that 3 the Son of Man must be delivered 4 into the hands of sinful men, 5 and be crucified, 6 and on the third day rise again.” 7
1 sn This statement links the parable to the theme of 15:6, 9.
2 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the result of the father’s remarks in the preceding verses.
3 tn Grk “saying that,” but this would be redundant in English. Although the translation represents this sentence as indirect discourse, the Greek could equally be taken as direct discourse: “Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee: ‘the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’”
4 tn See Luke 9:22, 44; 13:33.
5 tn Because in the historical context the individuals who were primarily responsible for the death of Jesus (the Jewish leadership in Jerusalem in Luke’s view [see Luke 9:22]) would have been men, the translation “sinful men” for ἀνθρώπων ἁμαρτωλῶν (anqrwpwn Jamartwlwn) is retained here.
6 sn See the note on crucify in 23:21.
7 tn Here the infinitive ἀναστῆναι (anasthnai) is active rather than passive.
