19:12 A nobleman was called away to a distant empire to be crowned king: The account fits the situation of Judea as a client kingdom of the Roman Empire. After the death of a king, claimants to the throne would go to Rome to try to gain support. Like the nobleman, Jesus would first depart (to heaven) to receive his royal authority; he will later return to rule God’s people and judge those who have opposed him (see 19:14, 27).
Note 1 topic: writing-participants
ἄνθρωπός τις εὐγενὴς
/a/_man certain noble
Jesus uses this phrase to introduce the main character into the story. Alternate translation: “There once was a nobleman who”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
λαβεῖν ἑαυτῷ βασιλείαν
/to/_receive ˱for˲_himself /a/_kingdom
Jesus assumes that his listeners will know that he is speaking of a lesser king going to a greater king or emperor. The emperor would give the lesser king the right and authority to rule over his own country. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “to receive authorization from the emperor to rule over his own kingdom”
καὶ ὑποστρέψαι
and /to/_return
Alternate translation: “and then to return and rule that kingdom in person”
