- Luke 21:16 sn To confess Christ might well mean rejection by one’s own family, even by parents.
- Luke 21:16 tn Grk “and brothers and relatives,” but καί (kai) has not been translated twice here since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
- Luke 21:17 sn See Luke 6:22, 27; 1 Cor 1:25-31.
- Luke 21:18 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “yet” to indicate the contrast present in this context.
- Luke 21:18 sn Given v. 16, the expression not a hair of your head will perish must be taken figuratively and refer to living ultimately in the presence of God.
