Luke 19:14

Context
19:14 But his citizens 1  hated 2  him and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We do not want this man 3  to be king 4  over us!’

1 tn Or “subjects.” Technically these people were not his subjects yet, but would be upon his return. They were citizens of his country who opposed his appointment as their king; later the newly-appointed king will refer to them as his “enemies” (v. 27).

2 tn The imperfect is intense in this context, suggesting an ongoing attitude.

3 tn Grk “this one” (somewhat derogatory in this context).

4 tn Or “to rule.”
