Cambridge Greek Testament Commentary

Luke 20:13

13. The ἰδόντες at the end of the verse is omitted by אBCD, Edd.

13. τί ποιήσω; Genesis 1:26; Genesis 6:7.

πέμψω τὸν υἱόν μου τὸν�. Who “took on Him the form of a servant.” Our Lord’s teaching respecting His own divine dignity advanced in distinctness as the end was approaching.

ἴσως. ‘Perhaps.’ It occurs here alone in the N. T. and once only in the LXX[350], 1 Samuel 25:21 (Heb. אך, E. V. ‘surely’). This ‘perhaps’ belongs of course only to the parable, but it (i) indicates their free will, and (ii) enhances their awful crime to represent it as having seemed all but inconceivable.

[350] LXX. Septuagint.

[ἰδόντες.] Omitted in אBCDLQ.

ἐντραπήσονται. See on Luke 18:2.
