Luke 16:29

New English Translation

²⁹But Abraham said,^[a] ‘They have Moses and the prophets; they must respond to^[b] them.’

Luke 16:29 tn Grk “says.” This is one of the few times Luke uses the historical present.
Luke 16:29 tn Or “obey”; Grk “hear.” This recalls the many OT texts calling for a righteous heart to respond to people in need (Deut 14:28-29; Isa 3:14-15; Amos 2:6-8; Mic 2:1-2; Zech 7:9-10).

Luke 16:29

New International Version

²⁹“Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses^(A) and the Prophets;^(B) let them listen to them.’
