<< Luke 9:51

Luke 9:53 >>

Luke 9:52

Sent messengers (apesteilen aggelouv). As a precaution since he was going to Jerusalem through Samaria. The Samaritans did not object when people went north from Jerusalem through their country. He was repudiating Mount Gerizim by going by it to Jerusalem. This was an unusual precaution by Jesus and we do not know who the messengers (

angels) were.

To make ready for him (wv etoimasai autw). wv is correct here, not wste. The only examples of the final use of wv with the infinitive in the N.T. are this one and Hebrews 7:9 (absolute use). In Acts 20:24 Westcott and Hort read wv teleiwsw and put wv teleiwsai in the margin (Robertson, Grammar, p. 1091).
