# Luke 24 General Notes #
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Special concepts in this chapter ####
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
##### Faith of the women #####
|
||
|
|
It appears Luke purposefully contrasts the faith of the women in this chapter with the twelve disciples.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
##### Resurrection #####
|
||
|
|
Luke goes to great lengths in this chapter to defend Jesus's physical resurrection from the dead. Luke shows that it was not possible for another person to have died in Jesus' place. He also shows that the resurrection was not a metaphor. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/resurrection]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

#### Other possible translation difficulties in this chapter ####
|
||
|
|

|
|
##### Son of Man #####
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Jesus refers to himself as the "Son of Man." Every language may not have the ability to have a person refer to himself in the third person.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
##### "On the third day" #####
|
||
|
|
Jesus is said to have risen from the dead on the third day. He died on a Friday afternoon (before sunset) and was raised on a Sunday. In ancient Israel, a day began and ended at sunset. They also counted any part of the day as a "day."

|
|
##### A young man #####
|
||
|
|
The gospel accounts differ as to how many men or angels appeared in this interaction. It is probably that the men were angels, but their number is unclear. It is best to translate this as it appears in the ULB without trying to reconcile these passages. (See: [Matthew 28:1-2](../../mat/28/01.md), [Mark 16:5](../../mrk/16/05.md), and [John 20:12](../../jhn/20/11.md))
