Footnotes

  1. Luke 13:28 sn Weeping and gnashing of teeth is a figure for remorse and trauma, which occurs here because of exclusion from God’s promise.
  2. Luke 13:28 tn Grk “and Isaac and Jacob,” but καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
  3. Luke 13:28 sn The kingdom of God is a major theme of Jesus’ teaching. See the note on this phrase in v. 18.
  4. Luke 13:28 tn Or “being thrown out.” The present accusative participle, ἐκβαλλομένους (ekballomenous), related to the object ὑμᾶς (humas), seems to suggest that these evildoers will witness their own expulsion from the kingdom.
