Luke 4:20

Context

4:20 Then 1  he rolled up 2  the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fixed on 3  him.

Luke 19:42

Context
19:42 saying, “If you had only known on this day, 4  even you, the things that make for peace! 5  But now they are hidden 6  from your eyes.

1 tn Grk “And closing.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the transition to a new topic.

2 tn Grk “closing,” but a scroll of this period would have to be rolled up. The participle πτύξας (ptuxas) has been translated as a finite verb due to the requirements of contemporary English style.

3 tn Or “gazing at,” “staring at.”

4 sn On this day. They had missed the time of Messiah’s coming; see v. 44.

5 tn Grk “the things toward peace.” This expression seems to mean “the things that would ‘lead to,’ ‘bring about,’ or ‘make for’ peace.”

6 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).
