Discovery BoxLuke 4:20 
Context4:20 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 6:12
Context6:12 Now 4 it was during this time that Jesus 5 went out to the mountain 6 to pray, and he spent all night 7 in prayer to God. 8
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 tn Grk “Now it happened that in.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.
5 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
6 tn Or “to a mountain” (εἰς τὸ ὅρος, eis to Joro").
sn The expression to the mountain here may be idiomatic or generic, much like the English “he went to the hospital” (cf. 15:29), or even intentionally reminiscent of Exod 24:12 (LXX), since the genre of the Sermon on the Mount seems to be that of a new Moses giving a new law.
7 sn This is the only time all night prayer is mentioned in the NT.
8 tn This is an objective genitive, so prayer “to God.”
