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:

ἐκπερισσῶς

exceedingly

Alternate translation: “insistently” or “forcefully”

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-condition-hypothetical

ἐὰν δέῃ με συναποθανεῖν σοι

if ˱it˲_/may_be/_fitting me /to/_die_together ˱with˲_you

Peter is suggesting that this is a hypothetical condition, that it might be necessary to die with Jesus. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a situation that could happen. Alternate translation: “Even were it necessary for me to die with you”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐὰν δέῃ με συναποθανεῖν σοι

if ˱it˲_/may_be/_fitting me /to/_die_together ˱with˲_you

Here Peter means that if it were necessary for him to die if he remained faithful to Jesus, he would rather do that than deny him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “Even if it were necessary for me, to keep from denying you, to die with you” or “Even if I would have to die with you if I stayed with you”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

σοι & σε

˱with˲_you & you

Because Peter is speaking to Jesus, the word you throughout this verse is singular.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὐ μή σε ἀπαρνήσομαι

by_no_means not you ˱I˲_/will_be/_renouncing

Here Peter implies that he will certainly not deny that he knows Jesus and is his disciple. See how you expressed the similar phrase in 14:30. Alternate translation: “I will certainly not deny that I know you” or “I will certainly not deny that I am your disciple”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

οὐ μή

by_no_means not

The words translated certainly not are two negative words. In this construction, the second negative does not cancel the first to create a positive meaning. Instead, it gives greater emphasis to the negative. If your language can use two negatives that do not cancel one another to create a positive meaning, you could use a double negative here. If your language does not use two negatives in that way, you could translate with one strong negative, as the ULT does. Alternate translation: “by no means”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὡσαύτως & καὶ πάντες ἔλεγον

likewise & also all /were/_speaking

The phrase they all also were speaking in the same manner means that all of the disciples were saying the same thing that Peter said. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “they all also were saying the same kind of thing” or “they all also were declaring that they would not deny Jesus”
