Following are a number of back-translations of Luke 6:40:

• Noongar: “A person who listens his boss’s good teaching, he doesn’t quickly become greater than his master. But all people who listen to their master and follow him, when they finish, then they will become like the master.” (Source: Warda-Kwabba Luke-Ang)
• Uma: “And there is no student [lit, school child] who is more honored that his teacher. When his schooling is finished, only then is he the same with his teacher.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
• Yakan: “The knowledge of a student does not exceed that of his teacher. But if his learning is complete he is equal with his teacher.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “He who has someone else teaching him, he must not think that he is greater in respect than the one who teaches him. And if there’s no longer anything that the one who teaches can teach him, then they are equal — the one who was taught and the one who taught.'” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: “Neither is there one who is learning who is higher than his teacher, but when he has properly finished what he is learning, after that he will be-like his teacher.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Tagbanwa: “It’s true that as for a disciple, he can’t exceed his teacher. But as long as he is really well taught, of course he can become the same as his teacher.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
