SIL Translator’s Notes on Luke 9:56

9:56

And: The Greek conjunction that the Berean Standard Bible translates as And here introduces the next action in the story. Other ways to introduce the next clause are:

Then they went to another town. (New Century Version)
-or-
So they went to another village. (God’s Word)

He and His disciples: For clarity, the Berean Standard Bible translates the Greek pronoun “they” (which is implicit in the verb form “went”) as He and His disciples. It may be helpful in your language to make this reference explicit. For example:

Jesus and his disciples (Good News Translation)
-or-
they all (Contemporary English Version)

went on to another village: The text does not say whether the village they went to next was Samaritan or Jewish. You should not specify either one in your translation.
