Luke 20:2

Context
20:2 and said to him,¹ “Tell us: By what authority² are you doing these things?³ Or who it is who gave you this authority?”

Luke 20:8

Context
20:8 Then⁴ Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you⁵ by whose authority⁶ I do these things.”

¹tn Grk “and said, saying to him.” This is redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation.

²tn On this phrase, see BDAG 844 s.v. ποῖος 2.a.γ.

³sn The leadership is looking back to acts like the temple cleansing (19:45-48). How could a Galilean preacher do these things?

⁴tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

⁵sn Neither will I tell you. Though Jesus gave no answer, the analogy he used to their own question makes his view clear. His authority came from heaven.

⁶tn On this phrase, see BDAG 844 s.v. ποῖος 2.a.γ. This is exactly the same phrase as in v. 2.
