Footnotes

  1. Luke 22:38 tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of Jesus’ comments about obtaining swords.

  3. Luke 22:38 sn It is enough. The disciples’ misunderstanding caused Jesus to terminate the discussion.
  4. Luke 22:39 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

  7. Luke 22:39 sn See the note on the Mount of Olives in Luke 19:29.
  8. Luke 22:40 sn Luke does not mention Gethsemane by name, but calls it simply the place.
  9. Luke 22:40 sn Jesus’ instructions to pray not to fall into temptation is an allusion to Luke 22:28-38, especially 22:31. The temptation is Satan’s challenge to them to defect, like what happened to Judas and what will happen to Peter.
