Footnotes

  1. Luke 16:23 sn The Greek term Hades stands for the Hebrew concept of Sheol. This is where the dead were gathered (Pss 16:10; 86:13). In the NT Hades sometimes has an additional negative force of awaiting judgment (Rev 20:13).
  2. Luke 16:23 sn Hades is a place of torment, especially as one knows that he is separated from God.
  3. Luke 16:23 tn Grk “he lifted up his eyes” (an idiom).
  4. Luke 16:23 tn Grk “in his bosom,” the same phrase used in 16:22. This idiom refers to heaven and/or participation in the eschatological banquet. An appropriate modern equivalent is “at Abraham’s side.”
