On the Kingdom of God
13:18Thus Jesus56 asked,57 “What is the kingdom of God58 like?59 To60 what should I compare it?
Footnotes
- 56 Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
- 57 Grk “said,” but what follows is a question.
- 58 The kingdom of God is a major theme of Jesus. It is a realm in which Jesus rules and to which those who trust him belong. See Luke 6:20; 11:20; 17:20–21.
- 59 What is the kingdom of God like? Unlike Mark 4 or Matt 13, where the kingdom parables tend to be all in one location in the narrative, Luke scatters his examples throughout the Gospel.
- 60 Grk “And to.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
