TSNTyndale Study Notes:

13:23 will only a few be saved? Some believed that only a small number would be saved. Others thought that all Jews would be saved because they were descendants of Abraham (see study note on 3:8).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-participants

εἶπεν & τις αὐτῷ

said & someone ˱to˲_him

Luke uses this phrase to introduce a new character into the story. Alternate translation: “someone in one of those places asked him”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

εἰ ὀλίγοι οἱ σῳζόμενοι?

if few_‹are› the_‹ones› /being/_saved

This was an idiomatic way of asking a question. Alternate translation: “is God going to save only a few people?”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

εἰ ὀλίγοι οἱ σῳζόμενοι?

if few_‹are› the_‹ones› /being/_saved

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form, and you could state who would do the action. Alternate translation: “is God going to save only a few people?”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὁ & εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς

he & said to them

The implication is that a crowd had gathered to meet Jesus as he went through this place on his journey, and that the questioner was one person in the crowd. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “Jesus replied to this person and to the whole crowd that was there”
