Footnotes

  1. Luke 21:12 sn But before all this. Another note of timing is present, this one especially important in understanding the sequence in the discourse. Before the things noted in vv. 8-11 are the events of vv. 12-19.
  2. Luke 21:12 tn Grk “will lay their hands on you.”
  3. Luke 21:12 sn Some of the persecution is of Jewish origin (the synagogues). Some fulfillment of this can be seen in Acts. See the note on synagogues in 4:15.
  4. Luke 21:12 tn Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
