The GT Commentary on Luke

[LittleLambofJesus]

Hmm. The T-R and W-H have a variance here but the Byz-Maj text seems to agree with the T-R.

2:43 and of finishing the days in the to be returning them remains behind Jesus the boy in Jerusalem and not know Joseph and the mother [*the parents] of Him

Textus Rec.)
Luke 2:43 kai teleiwsantwn taV hmeraV en tw upostrefein autouV upemeinen ihsouV o paiV en ierousalhm kai ouk egnw iwshf kai h mhthr autou

Luke 2:43 kai teleiwsantwn taV hmeraV en tw upostrefein autouV upemeinen ihsouV o paiV en ierousalhm kai ouk egnwsan oi goneiV autou

NKJV) Luke 2:43 When they had finished the days, as they returned, the Boy Jesus lingered behind in Jerusalem. And Joseph and His mother did not know [it;]

NASB) Luke 2:43 and as they were returning, after spending the full number of days, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. But His parents were unaware of it,

 

[Kristos]

Strange that they didn't miss Him. But even stranger that He did not let them know that He was staying. Wouldn't He have know that they would worry?

 

[LittleLambofJesus]

Luke 2:44 Thinking yet Him in the together-way they came of day away and they sought Him in the relatives and [*in/among] the known ones

[LittleLambofJesus]

Ahh, what a sight this must have been seeing their Son in the Temple with the Teachers of the Law. #1320 shown 59 times, 10 times outside of the Gospels

2:46 And it became after days three they found Him in the Temple being seated in midst of the Teachers and hearing of them and inquiring of Him

Textus Rec.) Luke 2:46 kai egeneto meq hmeraV treiV euron auton en tw ierw kaqezomenon en mesw twn didaskalwn kai akouonta autwn kai eperwtwnta autouV

James 3:1 No many Teachers be ye becoming! brethren! of me being aware that greater judgement we shall be receiving

1320. didaskalos did-as'-kal-os from 1321; an instructor (genitive case or specially):--doctor, master, teacher.

 

[Kristos]

59 times - that a lot of teaching!

 

[LittleLambofJesus]

This form of the greek word to be amazed/awed is used 6 times in the NT. 1 each in Matt, Mark and Luke and 3 times in Acts, 2 of those concerning the event of Pentecost. Pretty interesting.

2:47 are amazed/existanto <1839> (5710) yet all the ones hearing of Him upon the understanding and to the answers of Him

Textus Rec.) Luke 2:47 existanto de panteV oi akouonteV autou epi th sunesei kai taiV apokrisesin autou

There appears to be variance in these 2 greek texts for Acts 2:7:

Acts 2:7 are amazed/existanto <1839> (5710) yet *all and they marvelled saying *towards one-another* not behold all these are the ones speaking Galileans

Textus Rec.)
Acts 2:7 existanto de panteV kai eqaumazon legonteV proV allhlouV ouk idou panteV outoi eisin oi lalounteV galilaioi

W-H )
Acts 2:7 existanto de ******* kai eqaumazon legonteV **** ********* ouci idou panteV outoi eisin oi lalounteV galilaioi

 

[Kristos]

Psa 119:99 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation.

Wouldn't it have been cool to be there?!!!

 

[LittleLambofJesus]

This word for "pained" is used only 5 times in the NT. 4 times in Luke and 1 time in acts and curiously, 2 times in the parable of the rich-man/lazarus [Luke 16:24,25]. Interesting.

2:48 And seeing Him they were astonished and saying towards Him the mother of Him "child! why Thou do this to us thusly. Behold! the father of Thee and I ones being sore-grieved/odunwmenoi <3600> (5746) sought Thee"

Textus Rec.) Luke 2:48 kai idonteV auton exeplaghsan kai ****** proV auton h mhthr autou eipen teknon ti epoihsaV hmin outwV idou o pathr sou kagw odunwmenoi ezhtoumen se

3600. odunao from 3601; to grieve:--sorrow, torment.

 

[LittleLambofJesus]

#2212 used 117 times. Last time used Revelation 9 [1 time]

2:49 And He said toward them "why? that ye sought/ezhteite <2212> (5707) Me. Not ye perceived that in the-things of the Father of Me is binding to be Me

Textus Rec.) Luke 2:49 kai eipen proV autouV ti oti ezhteite me ouk hdeite oti en toiV tou patroV mou dei einai me

Reve 9:6 and in the days those, shall be seeking/zhthsousin <2212> (5692) the men the death and not no they shall be finding it, and they shall be yearning to be dying and shall befleeing the death from them

2212. zeteo dzay-teh'-o of uncertain affinity; to seek (literally or figuratively); specially, (by Hebraism) to worship (God), or (in a bad sense) to plot (against life):--be (go) about, desire, endeavour, enquire (for), require, (X will) seek (after, for, means). Compare 4441.

 

[LittleLambofJesus]

Joseph and Mary are now bewildered as what Jesus replied to them.
#4487 used 69 times. Last time in Jude 1:17.

2:50 And they not understand the declaration which he speaks to them

Textus Rec.) Luke 2:50 kai autoi ou sunhkan to rhma o elalhsen autoiV

4487. rhema hray'-mah from 4483; an utterance (individually, collectively or specially),; by implication, a matter or topic (especially of narration, command or dispute); with a negative naught whatever:--+ evil, + nothing, saying, word.

 

[jamiel]

51Then he went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But his mother treasured all these things in her heart.

Jesus was a good boy. He obeyed His mother.

I can just hear Mary years later, maybe at the Wedding in Cana: "Oh yes, He was a good boy."

So what does "treasured all these things in her heart" mean?

This isn't the first time Mary "treasured" up things (Luke 2:19).

I think she could (or tended to) keep things quiet and think about (or cherish) them.

She had clues that Jesus was special, but I don't think she was able to put the pieces together. She was no different than anyone else IMO until after the resurrection as to what Jesus was truly about.

 

[LittleLambofJesus]

This greek word #4487 used 27 times in NT all but 2 times in Luke, John and Acts [2 times in Epistles]. Seems like many Bible version leave this word #4487 out for some reason. Young LT and Douay-Rheims do use it.

2:51 and he descended with them and came into Nararet and was being subject to them and the mother of Him fully-kept all the declarations/sayings/rhmata <4487> *these in the heart of her.

NKJV) Luke 2:51 Then He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them, but His mother kept all these things in her heart.
Douay-Rheims) Luke 2:51 And he went down with them and came to Nazareth and was subject to them. And his mother kept all these words in her heart.

Luke 2:51 kai katebh met autwn kai hlqen eiV nazaret kai hn upotassomenoV autoiV kai h mhthr autou diethrei panta ta rhmata tauta en th kardia authV

2 Corin 12:4 That he was caught-away into the Paradise and hears un-declarable declarations/rhmata <4487>
which not permitting to man to speak.

4487. rhema hray'-mah from 4483; an utterance (individually, collectively or specially),; by implication, a matter or topic (especially of narration, command or dispute); with a negative naught whatever:--+ evil, + nothing, saying, word.

 

[Kristos]

It seems to indicate that on some level she understood the magnitude of what was going on, and accordingly, understood that it was not a time to shout it from the roof top. Until the wedding at Cana... Interesting too, that while she keep these things in her heart, He remained "a secret" and when she "decided" to reveal Him, He did it - even though it was not yet His time...

 

[sunlover1]

Had she held her tongue a minute more, He wouldnt have had to
say that it wasnt yet His time. We are often impatient even when
we've tried to wait.

Interesting too, that while she keep these things in her heart, He remained "a secret" and when she "decided" to reveal Him, He did it - even though it was not yet His time...

He had no choice (GOD had no choice) because of the integrity of His Word
will not be compromised.
He is not a man that He should lie, or the son of man that He should
repent.. Has He not said it and will He not do it?
Honor your parents... etc.
Quite mind boggling when one considers the implications.

 

[Kristos]

Luk 2:52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.

This growth aspect is always mindboggling to me.
