SIL Translator’s Notes on Luke 24:35

24:35a–b

Then the two: The Greek phrase that the Berean Standard Bible translates as Then the two is more literally “and they.” The word “they” is emphatic. It refers to the two followers from Emmaus. The phrase “and they” indicates that the focus has shifted to those two followers. It was their turn to tell their news to the group of apostles and other disciples of Jesus.

English versions refer to the two disciples from Emmaus here in different ways. For example:

Then the disciples from Emmaus (Contemporary English Version)
-or-
Then the two followers (New Century Version)
-or-
And those two

told what had happened on the road: The phrase told what had happened indicates that the two disciples informed the group about the events that they had experienced. Here it refers specifically to seeing and talking to Jesus on the road. Use a natural phrase in your language to refer to this. Some other ways to translate it in English are:

began to relate their experiences on the road (New American Standard Bible)
-or-
told their story of how Jesus had appeared to them as they were walking along the road (New Living Translation (2004))
-or-
described what had happened on their journey (Revised English Bible)

on the road: The phrase on the road means “during the journey” or “while they were walking along.” It is the same phrase that was translated as “on the road” in 24:32. See how you translated it there, but use a natural phrase in this context.

24:35c

how they had recognized Jesus: In Greek this clause is literally, “how he-was-made-known to them.” This clause is passive. Some ways to translate it are:

• As a passive clause. For example:

how he was known to them (Revised Standard Version)

• As an active clause, as the Berean Standard Bible does. For example:

how they had recognized him (New Living Translation (2004))

Translate the clause in a natural way in your language.

they had recognized Jesus: The Greek phrase that the Berean Standard Bible translates as they had recognized Jesus is more literally “he-was-recognized.” English versions refer to him in different ways in this phrase. For example:

they had recognized the Lord (Good News Translation)
-or-
they had recognized Jesus (God’s Word)
-or-
He was recognized by them (New American Standard Bible)

Refer to him here in a clear and natural way in your language.

24:35d

in the breaking of the bread: The Berean Standard Bible literally represents the Greek of this clause. This phrase tells what caused the two disciples to recognize Jesus. It refers back to the action in 24:30, where Jesus broke some bread and gave it to them. It is good to translate the action in a similar way here, so that readers can recognize it as the same action. Some other ways to translate it are:

as he was breaking the bread (New Living Translation (1996))
-or-
when he tore the bread

Refer back to this action in a natural way in your language.

SIL Translator’s Notes on Luke 1:1

Division 1:1–4

Luke introduced his book about Jesus

Luke 1:1–4 is the introduction to the Gospel of Luke. In Greek, the style of this introduction is different from the style of the rest of the Gospel. The introduction is written in a formal, literary style with long words and clauses. Luke was addressing an important person in language that sounds impressive. In some languages, it may be possible to use a special style to show this. However, make sure that the wording is still simple enough for people to understand easily.

In this introduction, Luke addressed a man named Theophilus directly. Theophilus was probably an important and wealthy Roman man. Luke told Theophilus the reason why he had written this book. Luke knew that other people had written about some of the things that Jesus taught and did. He also knew that people had taught Theophilus some things about the life of Jesus. But there were many things that Theophilus did not yet know. Luke wanted Theophilus to know the complete truth about the good news. That is the reason why Luke wanted to write a more complete story and tell other important things about Jesus.

Section 1:1–4

Luke wrote this book about Jesus for Theophilus

In these Notes, Luke 1:1–4 is both a division and a section of the book of Luke. You may want to include a section heading here. It is good to read the verses before you decide on a heading for the section.

Some other possible headings for this section are:

Luke writes to Theophilus about Jesus
-or-
Luke addressed this book to Theophilus
-or-
Luke’s purpose in writing this book

Paragraph 1:1–4

Paragraph 1:1–4 in the Greek text is one long sentence. In some languages, it may be natural to use more than one sentence for this paragraph. For example, the Good News Translation uses four sentences.

The Greek sentence in 1:1–4 talks about several events and ideas. It mentions them in an order that may not be natural in some languages. Here are the main ideas:

(a) Many people attempted to compile an account of what happened among them (that is, of Jesus’ life) (1:1a–b).

(b) They wrote what eyewitnesses told them (1:2a–c).

(d) Luke thought that he also should write those things in an orderly way for Theophilus (1:3b).

(e) Luke did this so that Theophilus could know that what he was taught was accurate (1:4).

You should present these ideas in an order that is natural in your language. See the General Comments on 1:2a–c and 1:1–2 at the end of the notes on 1:2b–c for specific suggestions.

You also need to think about how to connect the clauses. For example, in English there are different ways to connect the reasons in (a)-(c) with the result in (d):

1a
Since many others have written a report on the things that have happened…

3bit seemed good for me to also write a report…. (See 1:1–4 in the Revised Standard Version, New American Standard Bible, New Jerusalem Bible, King James Version for similar examples.)
-or-

1aMany others have written a report on the things that have happened….

3b
Therefore it seemed good for me to also write a report. (See 1:1–4 in the Berean Standard Bible, New International Version, Good News Translation, NET Bible, Contemporary English Version, God’s Word, and Phillips’ New Testament in Modern English for similar examples.)

You should connect the clauses in the most natural way in your language.

Luke did not address Theophilus by name until near the end of his introduction. In some languages, it may be more appropriate to begin the introduction with Theophilus’ name. See the Display for 1:1a for an example.

1:1a

In Greek this sentence begins with a word that means “since.” See the notes above about connecting clauses and decide the best way to connect the clauses of Luke 1:1–4 in your language. (The Berean Standard Bible uses the word “Therefore” in 1:3 to connect the clauses, and so it does not begin with “Since” here.).

Many: The Greek word that the Berean Standard Bible has translated literally as Many here means “Many people.” In this context it may also be possible to translate this as “Many authors/writers.” In the Jewish culture of New Testament times, usually only men were able to write. So it is also possible to translate this as “Many men.”

Luke himself planned to write an account of the life of Jesus as these Many people had done. So, in some languages it may be necessary to say:

Many ⌊others⌋

undertaken: The Greek word that the Berean Standard Bible translates as undertaken means “attempted” or “tried.” Luke implied here that others had worked hard to write the story of Jesus’ life. He also implied that it was difficult to gather all the facts and write them down accurately and completely. However, he was not criticizing the others’ writings. He did not imply that they had failed in their attempts. Other ways to say this are:

worked hard
-or-
done their best (Good News Translation)

to compose an account: The Greek phrase that the Berean Standard Bible translates as to compose an account means to gather reports of different events and put them together to make one longer story. In this context the writers told about many of Jesus’ actions and teachings as they told the story of his life.

Some other ways to translate this phrase are:

to compose/write the story
-or-
to organize a history/narrative
-or-
to write a report (Good News Translation)
-or-
to write about what had taken place (God’s Word)

1:1b

the things that have been fulfilled: The Greek phrase that the Berean Standard Bible translates as the things that have been fulfilled refers to the events of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. There are several ways to interpret the verb have been fulfilled in this context:

(1) It means that the events have been fulfilled. This implies that the events had been planned and predicted before they happened, and the events happened just as predicted. For example:

the events that have been fulfilled (New Revised Standard Version)

(Berean Standard Bible, New Revised Standard Version, New International Version, NET Bible, New Living Translation (2004), New Jerusalem Bible)

(2) It means simply that the events have happened. For example:

the things that happened (New Century Version)

(New Century Version, Good News Translation, God’s Word, Revised English Bible, New Living Translation (1996), Phillips’ New Testament in Modern English)

(3) It means that the events have been accomplished/completed. The events were like tasks that were completed. For example:

things which have been accomplished (Revised Standard Version)

(Revised Standard Version, New American Standard Bible, English Standard Version)

It is recommended that you follow interpretation (1). This interpretation includes (2) and (3) as well. The events happened (2), and they were completed (3). However, interpretation (1) expresses the important idea that these events fulfilled what had been predicted. That is, God said that they would happen, and they did happen, just as he said. The fulfillment of prophecy is a theme in Luke. (See Luke 18:31.)

things that have been fulfilled: The phrase things that have been fulfilled is passive. In some languages it may be necessary to translate it as active and indicate who fulfilled the things. If that is true in your language, you should indicate that God fulfilled them. He fulfilled them by causing the events to happen just as he had said they would. He fulfilled many of these events through Jesus. He caused Jesus to be born and to die for people’s sins, and he raised Jesus from the dead.

Some other ways to translate things that have been fulfilled are:

things that happened just as God said they would
-or-
what God has done in fulfillment of his promises (New Living Translation (1996) in 1:2)
-or-
things that God did ⌊through/concerning Jesus⌋, just as he said he would do

among us: The Greek phrase that the Berean Standard Bible translates as among us probably means “among us ⌊believers⌋,” that is, “among us ⌊who believe in Jesus⌋.” When Luke used this phrase, he probably included Christians who were born after Jesus’ lifetime. The form of the verb that the Berean Standard Bible translates as fulfilled indicates that the events continued to affect people at the time when Luke wrote. Christians of later generations were not present to see the events of Jesus’ life, but those events continued to affect them.

us: In some languages it is necessary to decide whether Luke meant to include Theophilus when he said us. It is not clear whether Theophilus was a believer at the time when Luke was writing to him. However, he was probably interested in becoming a believer (1:4).

Use a natural form in your language for a speaker to use toward someone who supports his group but perhaps is not yet a member. Remember also that Theophilus was a person of high status. Avoid using a form that would imply rejection or rudeness.

SIL Translator’s Notes on Luke 1:33

1:33

In this verse, 1:33a is very similar in meaning to 1:33b. Specific words and phrases in these parts of the verse are also similar: “He will reign” and “His kingdom” are similar. “Forever” and “never end” are similar.

In some languages, it may be confusing to repeat the same meaning in different words here. It may imply that the angel was making two separate statements that had different meanings. If that is true in your language, you may need to translate the parts of the verse in a different way. See the General Comment on 1:33a–b at the end of 1:33b for a suggestion.

1:33a

He will reign: The phrase He will reign means “he will be king” or “he will rule as king.”

the house of Jacob: The expression the house of Jacob refers to all the descendants of Jacob. Another name for Jacob was Israel. He lived hundreds of years before this time, and all twelve of the tribes of Israel were descended from him. People often called the nation of Israel the house of Jacob.

1:33b

His kingdom will never end: The clause His kingdom will never end repeats part of the meaning of 1:33a. This repetition emphasizes that Jesus will rule forever.

General Comment on 1:33a–b

In some languages, it may be confusing to repeat the same meaning in different words. It may imply that the angel was making two separate statements that had different meanings. If that is true in your language, here are other ways to translate it:

• Combine 1:33a and 1:33b as one statement. For example:

33a–bHe will reign forever over Jacob’s people.
-or-

33a–bHe will never cease to reign over the nation of Israel.

• Indicate in some way that 1:33a and 1:33b have the same meaning. For example:

He will be king over Jacob’s people forever—yes, his kingdom will never end!

SIL Translator’s Notes on Luke 1:65

1:65a

All their neighbors were filled with awe: The Greek expression that the Berean Standard Bible translates as All their neighbors were filled with awe is literally “fear/awe came upon all the neighbors.” The Greek word that the Berean Standard Bible translates as awe expresses an emotion of amazement and fear. The people felt this way because God worked powerfully among them. Translate this by the word in your language that expresses best what people feel when a supernatural being is present or supernatural power is active.

Some other ways to translate this part of the verse are:

All their neighbors felt great awe
-or-
All the people who lived near them were amazed and fearful
-or-
All the neighbours were overcome with awe (Revised English Bible)

In some languages there may be an idiom to express this.

All their neighbors: The word neighbors here refers to people who lived near Elizabeth and Zechariah. It is the same word as in 1:58a. But in this verse, Luke referred to all of their neighbors, not only to the neighbors who were present for the circumcision.

1:65b

people throughout the hill country of Judea: The phrase the hill country of Judea refers to the hilly area of the province of Judea. This was the area where Elizabeth and Zechariah lived. See the note on 1:39b.

1:65c

these events: The phrase these events refers to the special events that God had caused to happen in relation to John’s birth. For example, God’s angel spoke to Zechariah in the temple, and he became unable to speak. Elizabeth became pregnant, although she was old and had been unable to have children. John was born, and Zechariah became able to speak again and praised God. Refer to these things in a natural way in your language.

SIL Translator’s Notes on Luke 2:17

2:17a

they spread: The Greek verb that the Berean Standard Bible translates as spread is literally “made known.” The shepherds “made known” or “told” others what the angel had told them about the baby.

The Greek text does not say to whom the shepherds told this. There are two points of view:

(1) They told it to everyone whom they saw. For example:

the shepherds told everyone (New Living Translation (2004))

(New Living Translation (2004), New International Version, Phillips’ New Testament in Modern English, King James Version)

(2) They told it to Mary and Joseph. For example:

they told his parents (Contemporary English Version)

(Contemporary English Version, Good News Translation)

Most English versions do not specifically say to whom the shepherds told this.

It may be more natural in your language to make explicit to whom the shepherds told the news. If that is true in your language, it is recommended that you follow interpretation (1). Interpretation (1) seems to fit the context better, because 2:18 says that “all who heard it were amazed.”

2:17b

the message: The Greek word that the Berean Standard Bible translates as the message is literally “the word/saying.” It refers to the angel’s statement that the child was the “Savior, Christ the Lord” (2:11).

they had received about Him: The Greek verb that the Berean Standard Bible translates as they had received about Him is passive, literally “that had been told to them about this child.” It does not indicate who told the shepherds about the child. The context indicates that the angel told them (2:9–12).

If it is more natural in your language to say who told the shepherds about this child, you can say:

what the angel had told them about this child

SIL Translator’s Notes on Luke 2:49

Paragraph 2:49–50

2:49a

Why were you looking for Me?: This is probably a rhetorical question. Jesus was surprised that his parents did not understand why he had stayed behind. This answer to Mary’s question (2:48b) implies that Mary and Joseph should have known why he was with the teachers in the temple area. If they had known this, they would not have had to search for him.

Some ways to translate this include:

• As a rhetorical question. For example:

Why did you need to search for me?
-or-
Why was it hard for you to find me?

• As a statement that expresses surprise. For example:

⌊I am surprised that⌋ you were searching for me.
-or-
You did not have to look anywhere else.

Use whichever form is most natural in your language.

He asked: The Berean Standard Bible puts the words He asked in the middle of the two rhetorical questions that Jesus asked. In some languages, it is more natural to follow the Greek order and put the words He asked at the beginning of 2:49. In some other languages, it may be more natural to put these words after Jesus’ second question. Do what is most natural in your language.

Some English versions translate this to show that 2:49 is the answer that Jesus gave to Mary’s question. For example:

Jesus answered (Contemporary English Version)
-or-
he replied (NET Bible)

2:49b

Did you not know that I had to be in My Father’s house?:
This is the second rhetorical question that Jesus asked. Jesus may have asked this to show that he was not being disrespectful and to explain his reason for staying behind in Jerusalem. This rhetorical question also implies that Mary and Joseph should have known where he was.

Some ways to translate this include:

• As a rhetorical question. For example:

Didn’t you know that I must be in my Father’s house? (New Century Version)
-or-
Didn’t you realize that I had to be in my Father’s house? (God’s Word)

• As a statement. For example:

I thought you would know that I had to be in my Father’s house.
-or-
You should have known that I would be in my Father’s house. (New Living Translation (1996))

Use whichever form is most natural in your language.

I had to be in My Father’s house: The Greek phrase that the Berean Standard Bible translates as I had to be is literally “it is/was necessary for me to be.” Jesus felt that he must be in God’s house, and he thought that his parents should have understood that. Another way to translate this is:

I must be in my Father’s house (Revised Standard Version)

My Father’s house: The phrase My Father’s house refers to God’s house, that is, the temple. The Jews referred to the temple as the house of God.

Jesus referred to God as “my father.” If people in your area will understand the phrase “my father” to refer to Joseph, you may have to add a footnote to explain it. You could say, “The words ‘my Father’ refer to God, Jesus’ Father from eternity.”

In your text, you should probably not translate the phrase “my Father” using implied information to make it clear. For example, you should not say “my ⌊eternal/heavenly⌋ Father.” You should not make the implied information explicit, because Joseph and Mary did not understand what Jesus meant by My Father (2:50).

SIL Translator’s Notes on Luke 4:2

4:2a

where: The word where refers again to the desert.” This word does not occur in Greek. The Berean Standard Bible uses it to connect 4:1 and 4:2. Connect these verses in a natural way in your language.

for forty days: There are several ways to interpret the Greek phrase that the Berean Standard Bible translates as for forty days:

(1) It refers to the length of time that the devil tempted Jesus. For example:

and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness, where for forty days he was tempted by the devil (New Revised Standard Version)

(Berean Standard Bible New International Version, Good News Translation, New Revised Standard Version, NET Bible, God’s Word, New Living Translation (2004), Contemporary English Version, New Century Version)

(2) It refers to the length of time that the Spirit led Jesus and that the devil tempted him. For example:

for forty days he wandered in the wilderness, led by the Spirit and tempted by the devil (Revised English Bible)

(Revised English Bible, Revised Standard Version, New American Standard Bible, English Standard Version)

(3) It refers to the length of time that the Spirit led Jesus.

It is recommended that you follow interpretation (1).

forty days: The phrase forty days means “forty days and nights.” It does not refer only to the daylight hours.

He was tempted by the devil: This is a passive clause. Some ways to translate this clause are:

• As a passive clause. For example:

Jesus was tested by the devil (Contemporary English Version)

• As an active clause. For example:

the devil tempted Jesus (New Century Version)

tempted: The word tempted means to try to cause/entice someone to sin. The devil encouraged Jesus to sin by telling him to do what was wrong. The devil told him that he would obtain some benefit by doing certain things that were wrong. The devil lied to Jesus in order to trap him to sin. Another way to translate this is:

tested (Contemporary English Version)

the devil: The phrase the devil refers to the chief of all evil spirits. His name is Satan. In Hebrew this name means “enemy.” He is the enemy of God and God’s people. Here are some ways to translate the devil:

• Use a local name or idiom that refers to the chief of all demons.

• Use a descriptive phrase such as

the leader of the evil spirits
-or-
the spirit enemy of God

• Transliterate the name “Satan.” If this word is not already known in your area, you may also want to add a descriptive phrase. For example:

Satanas, the ruler of demons
-or-
Shaitan

If you transliterate “Satan” or borrow a word from another language, be sure that it communicates the biblical meaning to people in your culture. It is important to check this in each biblical context.

Try to use a term that will be acceptable to churches in the area. It is suggested that you also add a footnote or glossary entry that further explains who the devil is. For example:

The devil is the leader of all evil spirits or demons. Once he was an angel in heaven, but he rebelled against God. God expelled him from heaven, and now he tempts people on earth. Here are other names for Satan that are used in the Bible: “Beelzebul,” “Satan,” “the Evil One,” “the Enemy,” and “the Tempter.”

4:2b

He ate nothing during those days: The clause He ate nothing during those days indicates that Jesus chose not to eat any food during the forty days that he was in the wilderness. Some other ways to translate this are:

Jesus ate nothing during that time (New Century Version)
-or-
during that time he did not eat any food

Luke does not say whether Jesus drank anything during this time. In your translation, you should avoid saying that Jesus did not drink anything during the forty days.

4:2c

when they had ended: The phrase when they had ended means “when/after the forty days were over.”

He was hungry: Jesus did not eat for forty days, so he was hungrier than someone who had not eaten one or two meals. In some languages, it may be more natural to translate this as:

very hungry (New Century Version)
-or-
famished (NET Bible)

SIL Translator’s Notes on Luke 4:34

4:34a

Ha!: Scholars have different interpretations for the Greek word that the Berean Standard Bible and some other English versions (English Standard Version, NET Bible, New International Version) translate as Ha!:

(1) It is an interjection. It expresses alarm, fear, dismay, or indignation. For example:

Oh, no! (God’s Word)

(Berean Standard Bible, New International Version, Good News Translation, Revised Standard Version, New Jerusalem Bible, NET Bible, God’s Word, Contemporary English Version, Phillips’ New Testament in Modern English)

(2) It is a command. It is the imperative form of a verb that means “to not trouble or disturb.” Some translations say things such as:

Let us alone! (New Revised Standard Version)
-or-
Go away! (New International Version (2011))

(New International Version (2011), New Revised Standard Version, New American Standard Bible, King James Version, New Living Translation (2004))

It is recommended that you follow interpretation (1).

In your translation, try to find a word or phrase that people use to express alarm, dismay, or indignation.

What do You want with us…?: The Greek clause that the Berean Standard Bible translates as What do You want with us is an idiom. It literally says, “What to us and to you?” It means “What relationship do we(excl) have with you?” The evil spirit meant that Jesus had nothing in common with evil spirits. He implied that Jesus should not interfere with them.

This idiom is a rhetorical question that expresses the evil spirit’s fear, dread, and hostility. Some ways to translate this fear and hostility are:

• As a rhetorical question. For example:

Why are you bothering us…? (New Living Translation (1996))
-or-
What business do we have with each other…? (New American Standard Bible)
-or-
Why are you interfering with us?

• As a statement or command. For example:

We have nothing to do with one another!
-or-
Do not bother/disturb us!
-or-
Leave us alone…! (NET Bible)

us: The pronoun us probably refers to the demon in the man and other demons like him. The demon in the man was speaking on behalf of other demons too.

If it is not clear whom the pronoun us refers to, you may need to make this more specific. For example:

us ⌊demons⌋
-or-
us ⌊evil spirits⌋

Jesus of Nazareth: The phrase Jesus of Nazareth means “Jesus from the town of Nazareth.” In those days Jewish people generally had only one personal name. They were further identified by their hometown. Use the way that is natural in your language to indicate that a person is from a particular town.

The evil spirit used this phrase to get Jesus’ attention and to indicate that he was speaking to Jesus. Following the Greek word order, the Berean Standard Bible puts this phrase at the end of the question. In some languages, it may be more natural to put Jesus of Nazareth before “What do you want with us?” For example:

Hey, Jesus of Nazareth, what do you want with us? (Contemporary English Version)

4:34b

Have You come to destroy us?: This is a real question. The demon knew that Jesus was the Messiah and had the power to destroy demons. He may have feared that Jesus might destroy him right then.

come: The demon did not say from where Jesus came or where he arrived because that is not in focus. In some languages, a word like come may cause people to question where Jesus had come from. If that is true in your language, you may need to translate in a different way. For example:

Are you here to destroy us? (Good News Translation)

destroy: In this context the Greek word that the Berean Standard Bible translates as destroy means “ruin.” It refers to Jesus forcing the demon to leave the man and sending him away to wait for final judgment.

The evil spirit was afraid that Jesus would destroy its power. The spirit was probably also afraid that Jesus would send it and the other evil spirits to a place where they would be imprisoned. They would have to wait there for God’s final judgment.

In many languages, a word such as destroy may refer to smashing or breaking something. You may need to use a different expression. For example:

end our power
-or-
punish us

4:34c

In Greek, there is no word between the clause “I know who you are” and the phrase “the Holy One of God.” The Berean Standard Bible connects these with a dash. In some languages, it may be more natural to connect them in a different way. For example:

I know who you are: you are God’s holy messenger! (Good News Translation)

I know who You are: The pronoun I refers to the demon, who was speaking through the man. The demon knew that Jesus was the Son of God. He knew that Jesus was the Messiah whom God had sent to earth.

the Holy One of God: The evil spirit referred to Jesus as the Holy One of God. Some other ways to translate this are:

You are God’s Holy One (Contemporary English Version)
-or-
the Holy One sent from God (New Living Translation (2004))

The evil spirit is not the only one to use this term. In John 6:69 the apostle Peter also used this term to identify Jesus.

In some languages, it may not be possible to use the word One to refer to a person. It may be necessary to use a more specific term. For example:

You are the Holy Person/Man from God.
-or-
You are the Holy Son of God.
-or-
You are holy and God sent you.

Holy: The word Holy has the basic meaning of “dedicated to God,” “reserved for God,” or “set apart for God.” It also means “to be pure” and “free from sin.”

Another way to translate this word is:

sacred
