TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

Jesus’ Prayers

In Luke’s Gospel, Jesus prayed at critical events in his life: at his baptism (3:21), before calling the Twelve (6:12), at the Transfiguration (9:28-29), for Peter before his denial (22:32), and for his murderers from the cross (23:34). At times, Jesus withdrew from others so that he could pray alone (Matt 14:23; Mark 1:35; Luke 5:16). He also taught the disciples to pray (Luke 11:1-4; see also Matt 6:5-13) and told parables about the need for persistent prayer (Luke 11:5-13; 18:1-8).

Jesus’ prayers are part of Luke’s emphasis on the intimacy between the Father and the Son. Jesus lived in communion with the Father, followed the Father’s purpose, and remained faithful to the Father’s will. In Gethsemane, Jesus agonized over the suffering that lay ahead, but he prayed, “I want your will to be done, not mine” (Luke 22:42). On the cross, he expressed total dependence on the Father, uttering as his last words, “Father, I entrust my spirit into your hands!” (Luke 23:46). Jesus modeled for us a life of trust and dependence on our heavenly Father.

John records a prayer of Jesus on his final night with the disciples, often referred to as the High Priestly Prayer (John 17:1-26). In this prayer, Jesus intercedes for his followers, praying for their protection, understanding, holiness, and unity.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

ἐπειδὴ φίλος μου παρεγένετο ἐξ ὁδοῦ πρός με, καὶ οὐκ ἔχω ὃ παραθήσω αὐτῷ

since /a/_friend ˱of˲_me arrived from /a/_journey to me and not ˱I˲_/am/_having what ˱I˲_/will_be/_setting_before ˱to˲_him

If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation (continuing the sentence from the previous verse): “explaining that another friend has just arrived on a journey and that he does not have enough food to feed him”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ἐπειδὴ φίλος μου

since /a/_friend ˱of˲_me

The speaker uses the word since to introduce the reason why he is making this request at this time. If you translate this as a direct quotation, it may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “Let me tell you why I am asking. My friend” or “I am asking because my friend”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

παρεγένετο ἐξ ὁδοῦ πρός με

arrived from /a/_journey to me

The speaker uses the term road to describe being on a journey. Alternate translation: “another friend of mine is on a journey and has just arrived at my house”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

ὃ παραθήσω αὐτῷ

what ˱I˲_/will_be/_setting_before ˱to˲_him

It is unlikely that the speaker has no food at all in his house that he could serve his friend. Rather, this is an exaggeration for emphasis. Alternate translation: “enough food to feed him”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὃ παραθήσω αὐτῷ

what ˱I˲_/will_be/_setting_before ˱to˲_him

This could mean: (1) as UST implies, while his family has the ingredients to make a meal, they do not want to make a weary traveler wait the time it would take for them to bake bread and prepare other food. Alternate translation: “any food prepared to feed him” (2) the speaker wants to extend hospitality by sharing a meal with his guest, and so he needs enough food for a family meal. Alternate translation: “enough food to share a meal with him”
