1 | Lunch vs meal in Luke 11.37 | Luke 11:37 | Makarios | 219510 | ||
Greetings Rick! Luke 11:37 is an interesting verse: the translation God's Word (1995) renders the Greek aristao as "lunch" also, while the 1912 Weymouth NT has "breakfast" and the Amplified says "dinner." Most translations state "to dine" or "meal." Upon further review of Strong's G709, Strong's Concordance (quoted from E-Sword Bible software) says "From G712; to take the principal meal: - dine." So, if the translators took a particular approach toward rendering this passage to define the meal as "the principal meal", then that could explain what appears to be a little bit of confusion in translating the specific meal intended in this verse. Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible states, "To dine with him - The Jews, as well as the Greeks and Romans, had but two principal meals. The first was a slight repast, and was taken about ten or eleven o’clock of our time, and consisted chiefly of fruit, milk, cheese, etc. The second meal was partaken of about three o’clock P. M., and was their principal meal. The “first” is the one here intended." But I believe that it is probably a bit more 'interpretive' to define the actual meal here rather than to just call it a 'meal', even though the context of the verse indicates that this meal is, in fact, a 'principal meal' of the day. Blessings to you, Makarios |

2 | Lunch vs meal in Luke 11.37 | Luke 11:37 | RickCarpenter | 219541 | ||
I am trying to compose a work on all chronological references based in Luke, so I will be a bit nit-picky here if you don't mind in this and in further questions to come. If 11.1-37 only is considered and is a narrative of one event, then the aristao could have been the first meal after the shahalit prayers or the second meal after the minhah gedolah prayers. (But 11.14 and/or 11.29 could be breaks, thereby making which meal it was inconclusive. Or, there could be other breaks in 11.1-37 that we don't see, after all Luke is an admitted compilation.) However, given the company at the meal (11.38-54, perhaps this is the context to which you referred), it does look most plausible to have been the second meal. Thanks |
