TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

Jesus’ Final Night

When Jesus went into Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover, he knew it was his final night. He had come to Jerusalem to “suffer many terrible things and . . . be killed” (Mark 8:31). His disciples had prepared the meal, but he needed to prepare them for what was coming.

So Jesus celebrated the Passover with his disciples. At this meal, Jesus demonstrated true servanthood by washing his disciples’ feet (John 13:1-20). He gave his final teachings to the disciples, informed them about the coming of the Holy Spirit, and prayed for his followers (John 14:1–17:26). Jesus also established the new covenant (Mark 14:22-24). Jesus was now the Passover Lamb—his body and blood are now the sacrifice that saves his people from judgment, fulfilling the same purpose as the lamb at the first Passover.

It was on Passover that God had struck down all the firstborn males of Egypt but had spared those of Israel. Now Jesus would be struck down so that his people could be spared—just as the prophets had predicted (e.g., Zech 12:10; 13:7). Jesus warned his disciples that this was about to happen and that they were about to desert him (Mark 14:27). Jesus also warned his disciples that he would be betrayed by one of them (Mark 14:18).

After the meal, Jesus and his disciples walked to the Garden of Gethsemane on the Mount of Olives, where Jesus prayed in agony, submitting his will to the Father (Mark 14:26-42). Judas, the disciple who betrayed Jesus, then approached with a group of soldiers, who arrested Jesus (Mark 14:43-49). Jesus’ disciples fled (Mark 14:50-52), and Jesus was taken to the house of the high priest for an overnight trial, during which Peter denied Jesus three times (Mark 14:53-72).

While Jesus’ final night was marked by tragedy, nothing that happened was outside of his foreknowledge. Everything occurred according to God’s plan and was necessary in order to fulfill Scripture and to usher in the events which followed (his death and resurrection).

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-participants

νεανίσκος τις συνηκολούθει αὐτῷ, περιβεβλημένος σινδόνα ἐπὶ γυμνοῦ

/a/_young_man certain /was/_accompanying ˱with˲_him /having_been/_clothed /a/_linen_cloth over /his/_naked_‹body›

Here Mark introduces a certain young man as a new participant in the story. If your language has its own way of introducing new participants, you could use it here in your translation. Alternate translation: “a certain young man was there with Jesus. He was wearing a linen garment over his naked body”

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

σινδόνα

/a/_linen_cloth

The term linen refers to a high-quality cloth made from the fibers of the flax plant. If your readers would be unfamiliar with linen, you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: “a garment made of fine cloth”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐπὶ γυμνοῦ

over /his/_naked_‹body›

Here Mark implies that the young man was not wearing anything except for the linen garment. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “and nothing else”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

κρατοῦσιν αὐτόν

˱they˲_/are/_apprehending him

Here Mark implies that the men who arrested Jesus seized this young man by his garment. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “the men seize him by his garment”
