Luke 24:7-9

New English Translation

Footnotes

1. Luke 24:7 tn Grk “saying that,” but this would be redundant in English. Although the translation represents this sentence as indirect discourse, the Greek could equally be taken as direct discourse: “Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee: ‘the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’”
2. Luke 24:7 tn See Luke 9:22, 44; 13:33.
3. Luke 24:7 tn Because in the historical context the individuals who were primarily responsible for the death of Jesus (the Jewish leadership in Jerusalem in Luke’s view [see Luke 9:22]) would have been men, the translation “sinful men” for ἀνθρώπων ἁμαρτωλῶν (anthrōpōn hamartōlōn) is retained here.
4. Luke 24:7 sn See the note on crucify in 23:21.
5. Luke 24:7 tn Here the infinitive ἀναστῆναι (anastēnai) is active rather than passive.
6. Luke 24:8 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.
7. Luke 24:8 sn On his words see Luke 9:22.
8. Luke 24:9 sn Judas is now absent and “the twelve” have now become “the eleven.” Other disciples are also gathered with the remaining eleven.
