TSNTyndale Study Notes:

17:7-10 In Greco-Roman culture, servants existed to serve their masters faithfully. Faith (17:5-6) entails obedient submission to Christ and his commands.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

μὴ ἔχει χάριν τῷ δούλῳ, ὅτι ἐποίησεν τὰ διαταχθέντα?

not /is/_having thankfulness ˱to˲_the slave because ˱he˲_did the_‹things› /having_been/_directed

The first word of this sentence in Greek is a negative word that can be used to turn a statement into a question that expects a negative answer. ULT shows this by adding, does he? Your language may have other ways of asking a question that expects a negative answer, for example, by changing the word order of a positive statement. Alternate translation: “Would he thank the servant for doing what he had been commanded to do?”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μὴ ἔχει χάριν τῷ δούλῳ, ὅτι ἐποίησεν τὰ διαταχθέντα?

not /is/_having thankfulness ˱to˲_the slave because ˱he˲_did the_‹things› /having_been/_directed

The implicit answer to the question is “No.” Masters expect their servants to do what they command them. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate this explicitly. Alternate translation, add an additional sentence: “No, a master would not do that”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

μὴ ἔχει χάριν τῷ δούλῳ, ὅτι ἐποίησεν τὰ διαταχθέντα?

not /is/_having thankfulness ˱to˲_the slave because ˱he˲_did the_‹things› /having_been/_directed

Jesus is using the question form to teach. He wants his disciples to reflect on the nature of the master-servant relationship in order to understand better how they should relate to God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or exclamation. Alternate translation: “A master would certainly not thank a servant for doing just what he had been commanded to do!”

μὴ ἔχει χάριν τῷ δούλῳ

not /is/_having thankfulness ˱to˲_the slave

Alternate translation: “he does not need to thank the servant … does he”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τὰ διαταχθέντα

the_‹things› /having_been/_directed

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form. Alternate translation: “the things he commanded him to do”
