{And now} (kai nun). Luke is fond of these particles of
transition ( 7:34 10:5 20:25 22:16 ) and also kai ta nun
( 4:29 5:38 22:32 27:22 ), and even kai nun idou ( 13:11 20:22 ). {I wot} (oida). Old English for "I know." {In
ignorance} (kata agnoian). This use of kata occurs in the
_Koin(825f). See also Phm 1:14 . One may see Lu 23:34 for the
words of the Saviour on the Cross. "They had sinned, but their
sin was not of so deep a dye that it could not have been still
more heinous" (Hackett). If they had known what they were doing,
they would not knowingly have crucified the Messiah ( 1Co 2:8 ).
