Luke 19:40

Context
19:40 He answered, 1  “I tell you, if they 2  keep silent, the very stones 3  will cry out!”

1 tn Grk “and answering, he said.” This has been simplified in the translation to “He answered.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

2 tn Grk “these.”

3 sn This statement amounts to a rebuke. The idiom of creation speaking means that even creation knows what is taking place, yet the Pharisees miss it. On this idiom, see Gen 4:10 and Hab 2:11.
