LUKE 17:32 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 17:20–37: Jesus taught about the time when the kingdom of God will come

The Greek text does not indicate when Jesus said the words in this section. Scholars believe that he said them during the same time period as the last section. During this time, Jesus was making his final journey to Jerusalem. The Pharisees asked him when the kingdom of God would come. Jesus answered by describing the way the Son of Man, the Messiah, will return to earth. He will return suddenly, and it will be obvious to everyone that he has returned. Jesus compared his return to how suddenly the flood came in the time of Noah and how suddenly Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed in the time of Lot.

Examples of headings for this section are:

Jesus taught about when the Son of Man will come

The coming of the Kingdom of God

Parallel passages are in Matthew 24:17–18, 24:23–28, 24:37–41, and Mark 13:14–16, 13:19–23.

Paragraph 17:31–33

In this paragraph Jesus told his disciples that they must not delay to take any of their possessions when he returns. There are two ways to interpret this instruction:

Jesus was speaking in a figurative way. He warned that a person must not be concerned about possessions when he (Jesus) returns.
Jesus was speaking literally. Jesus warned that they must not delay to take their possessions, but instead, they must flee from danger that is coming.

English versions are ambiguous. It is recommended that you also translate in an ambiguous way so that either interpretation may be understood. If that is not possible, it is recommended that you follow interpretation (1).Commentators who follow this interpretation include Arndt, Erdman, Geldenhuys, Godet, Plummer, Lenski, Liefeld, Green, Marshall, Hendriksen, Nolland, Tolbert, TH, and Morris. This context in Luke is different from the one in Mark, where Jesus’ disciples should flee from the destruction of Jerusalem. Here in Luke, Jesus is returning, and no one can run from him.

17:32

Remember Lot’s wife!

Remember what happened to Lot’s wife!
Remember how Lot’s wife died!

Remember Lot’s wife!: Jesus wanted his disciples to remember what happened to Lot’s wife as a warning that they should not delay. Lot’s wife looked back toward Sodom while she, Lot, and their daughters were escaping. When she looked back, she became a pillar of salt (Genesis 19:26). If your readers do not know what happened to Lot’s wife, it may be possible to imply that something bad happened to her by saying:

Remember^(plur) what happened to Lot’s wife!

Remember how/why Lot’s wife died!

You may also want to include a footnote or cross-reference in your translation. For example:

Jesus is warning His followers not to make the same mistake that Lot’s wife made. She disobeyed God’s command to not look back and turned into a pillar of salt (Genesis 19:26). We also need to obey Jesus’ commands without hesitation. See a related warning in Luke 9:62. (TRT)

Remember: Here Jesus wanted his disciples to think about what happened to Lot’s wife and to be warned by it. In some languages a different verb may be more natural. For example:

Think about

Consider
