Luke 16:12

Context
16:12 And if you haven’t been trustworthy 1  with someone else’s property, 2  who will give you your own 3 ?

Luke 20:47

Context
20:47 They 4  devour 5  widows’ property, 6  and as a show make long prayers. They will receive a more severe punishment.”

1 tn Or “faithful.”

2 tn Grk “have not been faithful with what is another’s.”

3 tn Grk “what is your own.”

4 tn Grk “who,” continuing the sentence begun in v. 46.

5 sn How they were able to devour widows’ houses is debated. Did they seek too much for contributions, or take too high a commission for their work, or take homes after debts failed to be paid? There is too little said here to be sure.

6 tn Grk “houses,” “households”; however, the term can have the force of “property” or “possessions” as well (O. Michel, TDNT 5:131; BDAG 695 s.v. οἶκια 1.a).
