women grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other 37 shall be left[10]. And they answering say unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Where the body _is_, thither will the [11]eagles also be gathered together. [Footnote 1: Or, _as he was_.] [Footnote 2: Or, _between_.] [Footnote 3: Or, _There were none found ... save this stranger._] [Footnote 4: Or, _alien_.] [Footnote 5: Or, _saved thee_.] [Footnote 6: Or, _in the midst of you_.] [Footnote 7: Some ancient authorities omit _in his day_.] [Footnote 8: Or, _soul_.] [Footnote 9: Gr. _save it alive_.] [Footnote 10: Some ancient authorities add ver. 36 _There shall be two men in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left._] [Footnote 11: Or, _vultures_.] [Footnote a: As Ephraim (§ 119) was pretty certainly in the northern part of Judea, it has been reasonably supposed (Wieseler, Clark, and others) that, when the Passover was approaching, Jesus went from that region northward through Samaria into the southern or southeastern part of Galilee, so as to fall in with the pilgrims going from Galilee through Perea to Jerusalem. We thus again combine Luke's account with that of John in easy agreement. And this explains Luke's mention of Samaria first, which would be strange in describing a journey from Galilee through Samaria to Jerusalem, while the marginal translation, "between Samaria and Galilee," would he obscure and hard to account for. From this point he is making his final journey to Jerusalem, for the Passover of the crucifixion.] § 121. TWO PARABLES ON PRAYER (THE IMPORTUNATE WIDOW, THE PHARISEE AND THE PUBLICAN) Luke 18:1-14
