18:1-35 This fourth major discourse in Matthew (see study note on Matt 5:1–7:29) focuses on responses to the Messiah—acceptance by the disciples and rejection by the Jewish leaders and most of the populace. In light of this growing polarization, Jesus began to instruct his followers on the nature of community life. For a community to live according to Jesus’ standards, it must live with humility (18:1-5), sensitivity (18:6-9), compassion (18:10-14), discipline (18:15-18), and forgiveness (18:21-35). As with the other discourses, a concluding formula (19:1-2) bridges to the next section.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
ποσάκις ἁμαρτήσει εἰς ἐμὲ ὁ ἀδελφός μου, καὶ ἀφήσω αὐτῷ
how_often /will_be/_sinning against me the brother ˱of˲_me and ˱I˲_/will_be/_forgiving ˱to˲_him
If it would be more natural in your language, you could refer to forgiving before sinning. Alternate translation: “how often will I forgive my brother when he sins against me”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative
ἁμαρτήσει εἰς ἐμὲ ὁ ἀδελφός μου, καὶ ἀφήσω
/will_be/_sinning against me the brother ˱of˲_me and ˱I˲_/will_be/_forgiving
Peter is using the future form to ask a question about what he should do. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea using a form that asks about an obligation or requirement. Alternate translation: “can my brother sin against me and I should forgive” or “could my brother sin against me and I ought to forgive”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ὁ ἀδελφός μου
¬the the brother ˱of˲_me
Jesus is using the term brother to mean a person who shares the same faith. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “my fellow disciple”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
ὁ ἀδελφός & αὐτῷ
¬the the brother & ˱to˲_him
Although the terms brother and him are masculine, Jesus is using the words in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use phrases that make this clear. Alternate translation: “brother or sister … him or her”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
ἕως ἑπτάκις
up_to seven_times
Peter is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from the previous question if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “Will I forgive him until seven times”
ἕως ἑπτάκις
up_to seven_times
Alternate translation: “Up to seven times”
