OET interlinear LUKE 23:51

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-background

(οὗτος οὐκ ἦν συνκατατεθειμένος τῇ βουλῇ καὶ τῇ πράξει αὐτῶν)

this_‹one› not was (Some words not found in SR-GNT: οὗτος οὐκ ἦν συγκατατεθειμένος τῇ βουλῇ καί τῇ πράξει αὐτῶν ἀπό Ἁριμαθαίας πόλεως τῶν Ἰουδαίων ὅς προσεδέχετο τήν Βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ)

Luke provides this background information about Joseph to help readers understand what happens in the next verse, when Joseph asks Pilate for permission to bury Jesus’ body. It may be helpful to make this a continuation of the last sentence in the previous verse, since it also shows that Joseph was a “good and righteous man,” as that sentence says. Alternate translation: [who had not agreed with the action of the council]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

τῇ βουλῇ καὶ τῇ πράξει αὐτῶν

˱with˲_the counsel the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: οὗτος οὐκ ἦν συγκατατεθειμένος τῇ βουλῇ καί τῇ πράξει αὐτῶν ἀπό Ἁριμαθαίας πόλεως τῶν Ἰουδαίων ὅς προσεδέχετο τήν Βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ)

Luke is using a figure of speech in which two nouns are connected with the word and, and one of the nouns describes the other. Alternate translation: [the action of the council]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τῇ βουλῇ καὶ τῇ πράξει αὐτῶν

˱with˲_the counsel the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: οὗτος οὐκ ἦν συγκατατεθειμένος τῇ βουλῇ καί τῇ πράξει αὐτῶν ἀπό Ἁριμαθαίας πόλεως τῶν Ἰουδαίων ὅς προσεδέχετο τήν Βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ)

If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state explicitly what this means. Alternate translation: [the decision of the Sanhedrin to condemn Jesus for blasphemy]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀπὸ Ἁριμαθαίας, πόλεως τῶν Ἰουδαίων

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: οὗτος οὐκ ἦν συγκατατεθειμένος τῇ βουλῇ καί τῇ πράξει αὐτῶν ἀπό Ἁριμαθαίας πόλεως τῶν Ἰουδαίων ὅς προσεδέχετο τήν Βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ)

Since Joseph was a member of the Sanhedrin, he had likely come to live in Jerusalem, so Luke would mean that he was originally from Arimathea. Joseph had not come from Arimathea to Jerusalem for this occasion. Alternate translation: [who was originally from Arimathea, a city in Judea]

Note 5 topic: translate-names

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ὃς προσεδέχετο τὴν Βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: οὗτος οὐκ ἦν συγκατατεθειμένος τῇ βουλῇ καί τῇ πράξει αὐτῶν ἀπό Ἁριμαθαίας πόλεως τῶν Ἰουδαίων ὅς προσεδέχετο τήν Βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ)

As in [2:25](../02/25.md) and [2:38](../02/38.md), the term waiting does not mean passively waiting for something to happen, but eagerly anticipating something that someone wants to happen. See how you translated the term in those places. Alternate translation: [who was eagerly anticipating the coming of the kingdom of God] or [who was looking forward to the coming of the kingdom of God]
