SIL Translator’s Notes on Matthew 22:34

Section 22:34–40 A question about the most important commandment

In this section, one of the Pharisees asked Jesus to name the most important commandment in the Law of Moses. This type of question was a common one that scribes and Pharisees dealt with, and different teachers might give different answers. Jesus gave a definite answer about which law is most important. The he went beyond the question and gave an equally important second commandment.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Which is the great commandment of the Law?

There are parallel passages for this section in Mark 12:28–34 and Luke 10:25–28.

Paragraph 22:34–36

22:34a

But: The Greek conjunction that the English Standard Version here translates as But often indicates a change. Here the change is a change of people. In the previous section, the Sadducees asked Jesus a question. In this section, one of the Pharisees asked Jesus a question.

Many English versions do not translate this conjunction.

when the Pharisees heard: For help in translating the word Pharisees, see the Note in 3:7a. The word Pharisees last occurred in 22:15a. Translate it the same way here.

that he: The pronoun he refers to Jesus. Since this is the beginning of a new section, you may want to make that explicit. For example:

that Jesus (God’s Word)

had silenced: The Greek verb that the English Standard Version translates as had silenced is more literally “had muzzled.” It refers to something tied over an animal’s or person’s mouth to prevent it from opening. Here it is used in a figurative sense. Jesus did not actively stop the Sadducees from speaking, but his argument was so clear and strong that they could make no response. (This same verb is in 22:12b.) Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

had tied/shut their mouths
-or-
had made them speechless
-or-
had won the argument

the Sadducees: The name Sadducees is the same as in 22:23a. Translate it the same way here.

22:34b

they gathered together: This clause in Greek contains a phrase that means “in the same place.” This implies that the Pharisees came together to plan their next attempt to trap Jesus. Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

they gathered together in one place

-or-

they met together

There is some implied information here. Verse 22:35 shows that the Pharisees were with Jesus. So some time between 22:34 and 22:35 they went to Jesus. In some languages, it may be natural to make this information explicit. For example:

and then went to Jesus

SIL Translator’s Notes on Matthew 1:23

1:23a

Behold: The Greek word that the Berean Standard Bible translates as Behold literally means “look” or “see.” It focuses attention on what follows. Here, it introduces the prophecy that a virgin will give birth to a baby.

the virgin: A virgin is a person who has not had sexual intercourse. Here, this word refers to a young woman who has not had sexual intercourse. In some languages, there may be an idiom for this. Or you may have to use a descriptive phrase. For example:

a young woman who has not lain/slept with a man
-or-
a young lady who has not had sexual relations with a man

will be with child: The phrase will be with child means “will become pregnant.” In 1:18, a similar phase occurs: “was found to be with child.” You may want to translate it here as you did there.

1:23b

they will call Him Immanuel: The pronoun they probably refers to people in general and not to his parents.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

people will call him Immanuel
-or-
people will refer to him as ‘Immanuel’
-or-
he will be called Immanuel (Good News Translation)

Immanuel: The word Immanuel is a Jewish name. Here, it is used as a title for Jesus. It is not literally his name. It is used prophetically and indicates that Jesus will be the “Messiah.” Its meaning is explained by Matthew in 1:23c.

1:23c

1:23c is Matthew’s own words to explain the meaning of the title “Immanuel.” It is not a part of the Old Testament quote.

which means: The Greek phrase that the Berean Standard Bible translates as which means is more literally “which is translated.” For example:

which translated means (New American Standard Bible)

God with us: The Greek text has no verb in this phrase. It may be more natural in your language to have a verb here. For example:

God is with us (Good News Translation)

-or-

God accompanies us

us: The word us refers to God’s people.

SIL Translator’s Notes on Matthew 3:7

Paragraph 3:7–10

In this paragraph, John the Baptist spoke to the Pharisees and Sadducees.

3:7a

But when John saw: Verse 3:7 introduces John’s reaction to the Pharisees and Sadducees. His reaction to them contrasts with his reaction to other people who came to be baptized. Some versions indicate this contrast with the word But. Other versions have no conjunction here. For example:

When John saw (Good News Translation)

the Pharisees: The word Pharisees refers to men who were members of a particular Jewish religious group. The Pharisees believed that it was necessary to strictly obey all the laws of the Old Testament. It was also very important to them to carefully obey many other religious laws that they added. They also said that other people must obey these laws.

The Pharisees along with the Sadducees were the two most influential religious groups of the time. There were many more Pharisees than Sadducees.

Some ways to translate Pharisees are:

• Transliterate the word Pharisees according to the sounds of your language and indicate that it refers to a group of people. For example:

Farisi members
-or-
Parise adherents

• Transliterate the word Pharisees and indicate that it refers to a group of people with certain beliefs. For example:

people belonging to the Farise religious sect/group
-or-
members of the Jewish group called the Farasi

You may also want to explain the word Pharisees in a footnote or glossary. A sample footnote is:

The Pharisees were a conservative Jewish religious group. They carefully followed the Old Testament laws and added other rules as well. They were the dominant religious group among the Jews and were highly respected by other Jews.

Sadducees: The word Sadducees refers to men who were members of another Jewish religious group. They believed that people must follow the laws in the Old Testament and not add other rules. They did not believe that God would bring people back to life again after they died (Matthew 22:23). They also did not believe that angels or spirits existed (Acts 23:8). They also accepted some ideas held by the Greeks. Many Sadducees were priests.

The Sadducees along with the Pharisees were the two most influential religious groups of the time. Even though they were a much smaller group than the Pharisees, the Sadducees were wealthy and more politically important.

Here are some ways to translate Sadducees:

• Transliterate the word Sadducees according to the sounds of your language and indicate that it refers to a group of people. For example:

Sadusi members
-or-
Saduce adherents

• Transliterate the word Sadducees and indicate that it refers to a group of people with certain beliefs. For example:

people belonging to the Sadusi religious group
-or-
members of the Jewish group called the Saduce

You may also want to explain the word Sadducees in a footnote or glossary. Here is a sample footnote:

The Sadducees were another Jewish religious group. They claimed to follow only the laws in the Old Testament because they added no other rules. But they did not believe in angels or spirits or in the resurrection from the dead. They also accepted some Greek ideas. They were a small group but had much political power. They usually were wealthy.

coming to his place of baptism: There are two ways to interpret the Greek clause that the Berean Standard Bible literally translates as coming to his place of baptism:

(1) They were coming for John to baptize them. For example:

coming to him to be baptized (Good News Translation)

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

(2) They were coming to where John was baptizing, but they were not necessarily coming so that they themselves could be baptized. For example:

coming to watch him baptize (New Living Translation (2004))

(Berean Standard Bible, New International Version, New Century Version, NET Bible, English Standard Version, King James Version, New Living Translation (2004))

It is recommended that you follow interpretation (1) as do the majority of the English versions. The parallel passage in Luke 3:7 also supports this interpretation.

See also baptize, Meaning 1, in the Glossary for information on the word baptism.

3:7b

You brood of vipers: The word vipers refers to poisonous snakes. Another name for this type of snakes is “adders.” The phrase brood of vipers means “children/offspring of poisonous snakes.”

This phrase is a metaphor. In this metaphor, John compared the Pharisees and Sadducees to a brood of vipers. John used this metaphor to criticize the Pharisees and Sadducees.

The way that these men and snakes are similar is that both are evil and dangerous.

Here are some other ways to translate this metaphor:

• Use a simile. In some languages, it may be necessary to make the point of comparison clear. For example:

You (plur.) are ⌊as evil/dangerous as⌋ a group of vipers!

• Translate the metaphor but leave the word brood untranslated. John was not saying that the people were young or childlike. So some English translations do not explicitly translate the word brood. For example:

You snakes (Good News Translation)

• Translate the meaning without a simile or metaphor. For example:

You (plur.) dangerous hypocrites!
-or-
You (plur.) wicked people!

• Use a simile and explain the meaning. For example:

You evil people! You are like poisonous snakes.

If calling someone a poisonous snake is not an insult in your culture, you may also need to add a word to “John said to them.” For example:

John ⌊insulted/criticized⌋ them by saying

3:7c

who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?: This is a rhetorical question. John asked this question to rebuke the Pharisees and Sadducees. He implied that the only reason that they wanted to be baptized was so that God would not punish them in the future. John also implied that they did not really intend to repent of their sins.

Here are some other ways to translate this rebuke:

• As a rhetorical question. For example:

Who warned you to run away from God’s coming punishment? (New Century Version)
-or-

⌊Why are you here?⌋ Do you think that you can flee from the coming judgment?

• As a statement. For example:

⌊Ah ha!⌋ ⌊So⌋ someone has told you to try to escape God’s wrath!

Translate this rebuke in a way that is natural in your language.

flee: The word flee means “run away from something” or “try to avoid/escape something.” For example:

run from (Contemporary English Version)
-or-
run away from (New Century Version)
-or-
escape (Good News Translation)
-or-
try to avoid

the coming wrath: The word wrath means “anger” or “the punishment that comes as a consequence of someone’s anger.” In this context, the phrase the coming wrath refers to the fact that God will judge and punish people because of their rebellious attitudes and their sins.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

the coming judgment (Contemporary English Version)

-or-

God’s coming punishment (New Century Version)

In some languages, it may be necessary to translate this phrase as a clause. It may also be necessary to change the order of the words in 3:7c. For example:

God is angry at you and will punish you. Who warned you to flee from that?

SIL Translator’s Notes on Matthew 4:22

4:22

immediately: The Greek word that the Berean Standard Bible translates as immediately is the same word as in 4:20. See the translation advice there.

they left the boat and their father: The Greek word that the Berean Standard Bible translates as they left is the same word as in 4:20. This word implies that James and John abandoned their boat and stopped their work as fishermen.

You may want to include some implied information to make this clear. For example:

they left their father, abandoned their boat ⌊and their fishing work⌋

and followed Him: The words followed Him are the same words as in 4:20. These words imply that Simon and Andrew became Jesus’ disciples. They accepted Jesus’ request to follow him and become his disciples. You may want to make this information explicit. For example:

and followed him ⌊and became his disciples⌋

-or-

and went with him ⌊to become his disciples⌋

SIL Translator’s Notes on Matthew 5:29

5:29–30

In these verses, Jesus used two figurative examples to show that sinning is to be strongly avoided. They are also called examples of hyperbole or exaggeration. Jesus used these examples in order to emphasize a truth. A literal eye or hand cannot cause a person to sin. The only things that cause sin are wrong attitudes, desires, and thoughts that come from the heart. These examples show that it is very important to remove from one’s heart the nonphysical things which cause sin.

Throughout 5:29–30, in the Greek text, the pronouns for “you” or “your” are all singular.

5:29a–b

If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away: In this context, the right eye is a figure of speech. The right eye represents sins that a person commits with his eyes.

Here is another way to express this figure of speech:

If you are tempted to sin with/using your right eye, gouge it out

If people in your area will think that this verse is literally commanding someone to remove his eye, you may want to:

• Indicate that this is a figurative example:

If ⌊for a figurative example⌋ your right eye causes you to sin

• Include the non-figurative meaning and also make the figurative example into a simile:

⌊Remove and throw away any cause of sin! Remove it as completely as⌋ if you were removing your right eye that causes you to sin.

• Include a footnote to explain. Here is a sample footnote:

In this verse and the next verse Jesus talked about parts of the body that we use when we sin. He used the right eye and the right hand as symbols that stand for what we look at and what we do. When he said that we should remove our right eye or right hand, he meant that we should do everything possible to keep ourselves from sinning

5:29b

gouge it out and throw it away: The Greek word that the Berean Standard Bible translates as gouge…out means “take/pull out.” This verse part continues the exaggeration in 5:29a.

Here are some other ways to translate gouge it out:

take it out (Good News Translation)
-or-
tear it out (English Standard Version)
-or-
pluck it out (Revised Standard Version)

5:29c–d

It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell: This sentence is a comparison. The two events here are both bad. But to lose one part of your body is not as bad as your whole body being thrown into hell. In that way the first clause is better than the second clause.

Here are some other ways to translate this comparison:

To lose one part of your body is not as bad as your whole body being thrown into hell
-or-
Losing one part of your body is good compared to your whole body being thrown into hell
-or-
Losing one part of your body is good. Having your whole body thrown into hell is bad.

5:29c

The Greek of 5:29c begins with a conjunction that is often translated as “for.” it indicates that 5:29c is the basis for the command to tear out your eye in 5:29b. Many English versions like the Berean Standard Bible do not translate this conjunction. In some languages, it will not be necessary to translate this conjunction either.

lose one part of your body: The clause lose one part of your body refers specifically to losing your right eye. It also refers to losing that eye while still living. It may be more natural in some languages to make some of this information explicit. For example:

It is better to lose one part of your body ⌊while living⌋
-or-
Losing your right eye is better

5:29d

your whole body to be thrown into hell: The verb be thrown is passive.

Here are some other ways to translate this:

• Use a passive verb as the Berean Standard Bible.

• Use an active verb. For example:

God will throw your whole body into hell.

hell: The word hell refers to the place of eternal punishment where unbelievers will go after the final judgment. The devil and his angels will also go there.

Here are some other ways to translate this:

place of eternal punishment
-or-
place of unending fire

-or-

the place where the dead are made to suffer

SIL Translator’s Notes on Matthew 6:13

6:13a

And lead us not into temptation: The Greek word that the Berean Standard Bible translates here as temptation is ambiguous. There are two ways to interpret this word:

(1) It means temptation. This refers to being tempted to sin. It means “enticed/encouraged to do what is wrong.” For example:

Don’t allow us to be tempted (God’s Word)

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

(2) It means testing. This refers to difficulties and persecutions. For example:

do not bring us to hard testing (Good News Translation)

(Good News Translation, New Revised Standard Version, New Jerusalem Bible, Revised English Bible)

It is recommended that you follow interpretation (1), along with a majority of Bible scholars.

lead us not into temptation: The clause lead us not into temptation means that we should ask God to lead/guide our lives away from situations that expose us to temptation. It is a request that God will protect us from situations where someone or something will persuade us to sin. God himself does not tempt people (James 1:13).

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

lead us away from temptation
-or-
don’t let us yield to temptation (New Living Translation (2004))
-or-
Don’t allow us to be tempted. (God’s Word)
-or-
Keep us from being tempted (Contemporary English Version)
-or-
cause us to stay far from temptation to do wrong/evil

This clause is passive. In some languages it may be more natural to translate this as an active clause. For example:

Do not allow anyone/anything to tempt us to sin

This clause is the same as in Luke 11:4.

6:13b

but: There is a contrast between 6:13a and 6:13b. The contrast is between “leading us to temptation” and “delivering us from evil.” The Berean Standard Bible and many English versions indicate this contrast with the conjunction but.

Here are some other ways to translate this contrast:

Instead (God’s Word)
-or-
Rather

deliver us: The Greek word that the Berean Standard Bible translates as deliver refers to saving, rescuing, or protecting someone from harm or danger.

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

keep…safe (Good News Translation)
-or-
rescue (New Living Translation (2004))
-or-
protect (Contemporary English Version)

the evil one: The Greek phrase that the Berean Standard Bible translates as the evil one can be interpreted in two ways:

(1) It refers to the evil one. This phrase refers to Satan. For example:

but keep us safe from the Evil One (Good News Translation)

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

(2) It refers to evil in general. For example:

and protect us from evil (Contemporary English Version)

(Revised Standard Version, New American Standard Bible, Contemporary English Version, Phillips’ New Testament in Modern English, English Standard Version, King James Version)

It is recommended that you follow interpretation (1). Most commentaries follow this interpretation.

The words “the evil one” also occur in 5:37b. See how you translated it there.

6:13c

There is a textual issue here. The words in 6:13c are not in the earliest Greek manuscripts. As a result, most English versions put this part of the verse only in a footnote, as the Berean Standard Bible does. However, many churches include the words in 6:13c in the version of the Lord’s Prayer that they recite. For this reason, you will probably want to translate these words, even if you put them neither in the text nor in a footnote.

If you do put these words in a footnote, a sample footnote is:

Only some of the later Greek manuscripts include extra words at the end of 6:13, which reads: For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

To show that the words in 6:13c are not part of the normal text, the Berean Standard Bible source line for 6:13c is in double square brackets in the Display.

For: Verse 6:13c expresses praise to God. It is also the closing of the prayer in 6:9b–13b. Furthermore, it is the basis for the requests in the prayer. We can pray that God’s name be hallowed, that his kingdom come, and so forth because authority, power, and glory belong to him.

The Berean Standard Bible introduces this part of the prayer with the word For. Here are some other ways to introduce this part of the prayer:

Because
-or-

⌊I/We pray this⌋ because

In some languages, it will not be necessary to begin 6:13c with a connecting word or phrase.

Yours is the kingdom: The Greek words that the Berean Standard Bible translates as Yours is the kingdom indicate that only God has the right to rule as supreme.

Here is another way to translate this clause:

you ⌊alone⌋ have the authority/right to rule ⌊over all⌋
-or-
authority belongs to you

See how you translated kingdom in 3:2 or 4:17.

and the power: There are implied words in this phrase as shown below:

and ⌊yours is⌋ the power

The entire phrase means “God has all power.” Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

you have all power
-or-
you are all-powerful/almighty
-or-
all power belongs to you

and the glory: Just as in the previous phrase, there are implied words here:

and ⌊yours is⌋ the glory

In this context the word glory refers to the “majesty” or “greatness” of the Lord.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

you are the greatest one
-or-
you are the most majestic one
-or-
all greatness belongs to you

Amen: The word Amen comes from the Greek word amēn, which is a transliteration of a Hebrew word. It means “let it be so,” or “truly.” If the people in your area already use the word Amen, you may want to use it here. Or you may want to translate the meaning:

Let it be so
-or-
Let it happen that way
-or-

⌊May it⌋ truly ⌊be that way⌋

General Comment on 6:13b–c

Since this is the end of the model prayer, it may be natural in some languages to indicate that the prayer has ended. For example:

⌊Pray like that.⌋

-or-

⌊That is how you should pray.⌋

SIL Translator’s Notes on Matthew 7:11

7:11

In Greek, as in the Berean Standard Bible, 7:11 is one long, complicated sentence. It includes several steps in a logical argument with one main conclusion:

(a) People are evil.

(b) However, people know how to give good gifts to their children.

(d) Therefore, God most certainly knows how to give good gifts to his children.

Jesus compared the character of people and the kinds of gifts that they give (7:11a–b) to the character of God and the kinds of gifts that he gives (7:11c–d). He expected his followers to agree that God will give much better gifts than people do. Consider how people make this type of statement in your culture.

7:11a–b

So: The Greek conjunction that the Berean Standard Bible translates as So is often translated as “therefore.” It introduces a conclusion of 7:7–10.

Here are some other ways to introduce this conclusion:

So (New Living Translation (2004))
-or-
Therefore
-or-
In conclusion

In some languages, it is more natural to leave this conjunction untranslated. The context can imply the relationship without a conjunction. For example:

As bad as you are, you know how to give good things to your children. (Good News Translation)

if you who are evil know how to give good gifts: This clause is literally “if you being evil know to give good gifts to your children.” The Berean Standard Bible has added the word how to make it natural English.

This if clause implies that the disciples knew how to give good gifts to their children. It also implies that they gave them good gifts regularly. There is no doubt about this.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

• Keep the if clause. For example:

So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children (New Living Translation (2004))

• Make 7:11a–b a separate sentence. For example:

Even though you’re evil, you know how to give good gifts to your children. (God’s Word)
-or-
As bad as you are, you know how to give good things to your children. (Good News Translation)
-or-
You are evil, but you know how to give good gifts to your children. ⌊If you do that…⌋

you who are evil: The Greek word that the Berean Standard Bible translates as evil also means “bad,” “sinful,” or “wicked.” Jesus was not condemning his disciples here. He was not saying that they were evil and other people were good. He was simply stating that all people are sinful.

Here are some other ways to translate this:

you are bad (New Century Version)
-or-
you sinful people (New Living Translation (2004))

good gifts: The phrase good gifts refers to things that fathers give their children. These are things that are good for them. Bread and fish (7:9–10) are examples of good gifts. But good gifts includes more than just food.

Here is another way to translate this phrase:

good things

7:11c–d

how much more will your Father in heaven give: Here a contrast is made between the nature of man and the nature of God: man is sinful and (it is implied that) God is good. The first part of the contrast (that man is sinful) was stated explicitly in 7:11a. If it is necessary to make the second half of the contrast explicit in your language, you may say:

how much more will your father in heaven ⌊who is good⌋…
-or-

⌊But⌋ your heavenly father ⌊is good⌋. It is even more certain that…

7:11c

how much more: The phrase how much more compares two things. It compares God’s willingness/readiness and man’s willingness to give good gifts. (The comparison is not between the sizes of the gifts.) Man gives good gifts. But God is much more willing than people to give good gifts.

Here are some other ways to translate this:

God is even more ready/willing
-or-
God knows better than you how to give…
-or-
it is absolutely certain that
-or-
even more so with God

your Father in heaven: The phrase your Father in heaven refers to God. Here heaven refers to the place where God lives.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

your Father in heaven
-or-

⌊God⌋ your heavenly Father

Be careful not to imply that Jesus has other fathers and only this one is in heaven.

7:11d

good things: The Greek word that the Berean Standard Bible translates as good things is simply the word “good.” God gives us what is good. He gives us what we need. It refers to “good gifts” as in 7:11b. It includes the Holy Spirit mentioned in Luke 11:13.

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

good things (Revised Standard Version)
-or-
good gifts (New International Version)

-or-

what is good

SIL Translator’s Notes on Matthew 8:14

Section 8:14–17

Jesus healed many people

In this section Jesus healed people and forced demons to leave people. These miracles showed Jesus’ power. They also fulfilled a prophecy of Isaiah about the Christ.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Jesus healed Peter’s mother-in-law and many others
-or-
Jesus Heals Many at Peter’s House (New Revised Standard Version)
-or-
Jesus fulfilled prophecy by healing many people

There are parallel passages for this section in Mark 1:29–31 and Luke 4:38–39.

Paragraph 8:14–15

8:14a

When Jesus arrived at Peter’s house: Peter’s house was in the town of Capernaum. Capernaum was also the town where Jesus was when he healed the centurion’s servant. So this story takes place in the same town, and it takes place sometime after the previous section. The Greek does not indicate how much time passed between these two stories.

Here are some other ways to begin this new section:

Later, Jesus entered into Peter’s house
-or-
Then Jesus went to Peter’s house. When he entered…

8:14b

He saw Peter’s mother-in-law: The pronoun He refers to Jesus. The term mother-in-law refers to the mother of Peter’s wife.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

he saw Peter’s mother-in-law
-or-
Jesus found the mother of Peter’s wife

sick in bed with a fever: The Greek clause that the Berean Standard Bible translates as sick in bed with a fever is more literally “lying and having a fever.” To have a fever means that the body is hotter than normal. The fact that the woman was lying down indicates how serious the fever was. The Berean Standard Bible has added the word sick to make the meaning more clear.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

lying down, sick with a fever (NET Bible)

-or-

⌊sick and⌋ lying down ⌊because she had⌋ a fever
