KJV ASV RSV? NASV NIV? NEB TEV?: The question with “indeed” is a Semitism. It seems likely that copyists altered the question to the more usually Greek form using “not.” Because most English translations do not translate the Greek negative mê in questions, it is difficult to tell the underlying text.

The reading “good [things]” is an obvious adaptation to the parallel in Matthew 7:11. The readings “good gift” and “good gifts” seem to have come from the first part of the verse, while “good Spirit” is a combination of the two.

“Beelzebul” is the Greek spelling of the Hebrew word “Baal-Zebub,” which means “lord of flies.” It has passed through Latin into English as Beelzebub. It is used in the New Testament to refer to the devil.

NEB TEVnCOMMENTS: The words “nor under a peck-measure” are in brackets in the UBS text. The phrase may be an addition here from the parallels in Matthew 5:15 and Mark 4:21; however, since it is found in early manuscripts of several different types of ancient text, it is included here.

Luke 11:42

NEBnCOMMENTS: While the clause is found in a similar form in the parallel in Matthew 23:23, it is probable that it was deleted under the influence of Marcion, who did not like it and omitted it from his edition of Luke.
