Discovery BoxLuke 19:10 
Context19:10 For the Son of Man came 1 to seek and to save the lost.”
Luke 19:41-42
Context19:41 Now 2 when Jesus 3 approached 4 and saw the city, he wept over it, 19:42 saying, “If you had only known on this day, 5 even you, the things that make for peace! 6 But now they are hidden 7 from your eyes.
1 sn The Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost is Jesus’ mission succinctly defined. See Luke 15:1-32.
2 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.
3 tn Grk “he.”
4 sn When Jesus approached and saw the city. This is the last travel note in Luke’s account (the so-called Jerusalem journey), as Jesus approached and saw the city before entering it.
5 sn On this day. They had missed the time of Messiah’s coming; see v. 44.
6 tn Grk “the things toward peace.” This expression seems to mean “the things that would ‘lead to,’ ‘bring about,’ or ‘make for’ peace.”
7 sn But now they are hidden from your eyes. This becomes an oracle of doom in the classic OT sense; see Luke 13:31-35; 11:49-51; Jer 9:2; 13:7; 14:7. They are now blind and under judgment (Jer 15:5; Ps 122:6).
