Luke 7:25

Context
7:25 What 1  did you go out to see? A man dressed in fancy 2  clothes? 3  Look, those who wear fancy clothes and live in luxury 4  are in kings’ courts! 5 

Luke 21:4

Context
21:4 For they all offered their gifts out of their wealth. 6  But she, out of her poverty, put in everything she had to live on.” 7 

1 tn Grk “But what.” Here ἀλλά (alla, a strong contrastive in Greek) produces a somewhat awkward sense in English, and has not been translated. The same situation occurs at the beginning of v. 26.

2 tn Or “soft”; see L&N 79.100.

3 sn The reference to fancy clothes makes the point that John was not rich or powerful, in that he did not come from the wealthy classes.

4 tn See L&N 88.253, “to revel, to carouse, to live a life of luxury.”

5 tn Or “palaces.”

6 tn Grk “out of what abounded to them.”

7 tn Or “put in her entire livelihood.”
