OET interlinear LUKE 22:53

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ

in the temple

Only priests were allowed to enter the temple building, so Jesus means the temple courtyard. He is using the word for the entire building to refer to one part of it. Alternate translation: [in the temple courtyard]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

οὐκ ἐξετείνατε τὰς χεῖρας ἐπ’ ἐμέ

not ˱you_all˲_stretched_out (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καθʼ ἡμέραν ὄντος μού μεθʼ ὑμῶν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ οὐκ ἐξετείνατε τάς χεῖρας ἐπʼ ἐμέ Ἀλλʼ αὕτη ἐστίν ὑμῶν ἡ ὥρα καί ἡ ἐξουσία τοῦ σκότους)

As in [20:19](../20/19.md), here this expression means to arrest a person by association with the way that arresting officers might physically take hold of the person with their hands. Alternate translation: [you did not arrest me]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

αὕτη ἐστὶν ὑμῶν ἡ ὥρα

this (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καθʼ ἡμέραν ὄντος μού μεθʼ ὑμῶν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ οὐκ ἐξετείνατε τάς χεῖρας ἐπʼ ἐμέ Ἀλλʼ αὕτη ἐστίν ὑμῶν ἡ ὥρα καί ἡ ἐξουσία τοῦ σκότους)

Jesus is using the term hour to refer to a specific time. Alternate translation: [this is a time when you can do whatever you want]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

καὶ ἡ ἐξουσία τοῦ σκότους

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καθʼ ἡμέραν ὄντος μού μεθʼ ὑμῶν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ οὐκ ἐξετείνατε τάς χεῖρας ἐπʼ ἐμέ Ἀλλʼ αὕτη ἐστίν ὑμῶν ἡ ὥρα καί ἡ ἐξουσία τοῦ σκότους)

Jesus is using this phrase to characterize the hour further. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could show that by repeating the reference to “time” from earlier in the sentence. Alternate translation: [because it is a time when darkness is in authority]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

καὶ ἡ ἐξουσία τοῦ σκότους

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καθʼ ἡμέραν ὄντος μού μεθʼ ὑμῶν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ οὐκ ἐξετείνατε τάς χεῖρας ἐπʼ ἐμέ Ἀλλʼ αὕτη ἐστίν ὑμῶν ἡ ὥρα καί ἡ ἐξουσία τοῦ σκότους)

Jesus is referring to Satan as darkness. Alternate translation: [because it is a time when God is allowing Satan to do what he wants]
