Luke 4:29

They got up, forced ¹  him out of the town, ²  and brought him to the brow of the hill on which their town was built, so that ³  they could throw him down the cliff. ⁴ 

2Ch 25:12; Ps 37:14,32,33; Joh 8:37,40,59; Joh 15:24,25; Ac 7:57,58; Ac 16:23,24; Ac 21:28-32

¹ tn Grk “cast.”

² tn Or “city.”

³ tn The Greek conjunction ὥστε (Jwste) here indicates their purpose.

⁴ sn The attempt to throw him down the cliff looks like “lynch law,” but it may really be an indication that Jesus was regarded as a false prophet who was worthy of death (Deut 13:5). Such a sentence meant being thrown into a pit and then stoned.
