Luke 7:31

Context

7:31 “To what then should I compare the people 1  of this generation, and what are they like?

Luke 17:25

Context
17:25 But first he must 2  suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

1 tn Grk “men,” but this is a generic use of ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo"). The comparison that follows in vv. 32-34 describes “this generation,” not Jesus and John.

2 sn The Son of Man’s suffering and rejection by this generation is another “it is necessary” type of event in God’s plan (Luke 4:43; 24:7, 26, 44) and the fifth passion prediction in Luke’s account (9:22, 44; 12:50; 13:32-33; for the last, see 18:32-33).
