Luke 18:32-33

32 For he will be handed over ^{▼▼ The passive voice verb be handed over does not indicate by whom, but other passages note the Jewish leadership and betrayal (9:22, 44).} to the Gentiles; he will be mocked, ^{▼▼ See Luke 22:63; 23:11, 36.} mistreated, ^{▼▼ Or “and insulted.” L&N 33.390 and 88.130 note ὑβρίζω (hubrizō) can mean either “insult” or “mistreat with insolence.”} and spat on. ^{▼▼ And spat on. Later Luke does not note this detail in the passion narrative in chaps. 22–23, but see Mark 14:65; 15:19; Matt 26:67; 27:30 where Jesus’ prediction is fulfilled.} 33 They will flog him severely ^{▼▼ Traditionally, “scourge” (the term means to beat severely with a whip, L&N 19.9). BDAG 620 s.v. μαστιγόω 1. states, “Of the beating (Lat. verberatio) given those condemned to death…J 19:1; cf. Mt 20:19; Mk 10:34; Lk 18:33.” Here the term has been translated “flog…severely” to distinguish it from the term φραγελλόω (fragelloō) used in Matt 27:26; Mark 15:15.} and kill him. Yet ^{▼▼ Here καί (kai) has been translated as “yet” to indicate the contrast present in this context.} on the third day he will rise again.”
