Luke 13 General Notes

Important figures of speech in this chapter

Assumed Knowledge

This chapter begins with references to two events, the details of which have not been preserved (Luke 13:1-5). Despite this lack of knowledge, the teaching still makes sense to the modern reader. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)

Other possible translation difficulties in this chapter

The use of paradox

This is a statement that seems absurd, that appears to contradict itself. A paradox occurs in this chapter: "the last are the first, and the first will be last" (Luke 13:30).
