Footnotes

  1. 178 Grk “they”; the referent (the villagers) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  2. 179 Or “did not receive”; this verb, δέχομαι (dechomai), is a term of hospitality or welcome (L&N 34.53).
  3. 180 Grk “because his face was set toward Jerusalem.” Jerusalem is to be the place of rejection, as Luke 9:44 suggested. Jesus had resolved to meet his fate in Jerusalem, so the rejection was no surprise.
