12:5, fear: Absent from some manuscripts. ℵ(01) D(05) Latin(a) Syriac(syp)

12:5, Gehenna: Often translated hell. Gehenna is originally a transliteration of the Hebrew "Valley of Hinnom." This is a valley southwest of Jerusalem, where human sacrifices had once been offered and where garbage from the city was constantly burning. It was known as the valley of slaughter and the place of divine punishment (Jeremiah 19). Later this picture was combined with the idea of God's judgment, and so the notion of a fiery hell developed. In the New Testament it is the place of punishment of the wicked after the final judgment. (UBS Handbooks for the New Testament [20 Vols.] [American Bible Society, 2021]. Matthew 5:22 and James 3:6).

12:5 The word here is Literally, “Gehenna,” sometimes translated “hell” or “hellfire.” Gehenna was the place outside of Jerusalem where fires were lit to dispose of rubbish by burning. “Hell” is a concept that is derived from Nordic and Anglo-Saxon mythology and does not parallel the idea here.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

12:5 hell (Greek Gehenna): The Valley of Hinnom was a ravine along the southwestern side of Jerusalem. It became a metaphor for hell because Israelites had offered their children as sacrifices there (Jer 32:35) and later used it as a place to burn garbage (Jer 19:2, 10-13). Jesus’ disciples should never be afraid of enemies who can only take away their life on earth. Instead, they should fear God, who can give eternal punishment.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

φοβήθητε τὸν & ἔχοντα ἐξουσίαν

/be/_afraid ˱of˲_the_‹one› & having authority

The expression the one refers to God. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “Fear God, who … has authority” or “Fear God, because he … has authority”

μετὰ τὸ ἀποκτεῖναι, ἔχοντα ἐξουσίαν

after the_‹time› /to/_kill_off having authority

Jesus is not suggesting that God actively kills each person. Alternate translation: “who, after a person dies, has authority”

Note 2 topic: translate-names

Γέενναν

Gehenna

Gehenna is the Greek name for a place, the Valley of Hinnom just outside Jerusalem.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

Γέενναν
