SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 13:21–30: Jesus predicted that someone would betray him

In this section Jesus told his disciples that one of them would betray him. The disciples wondered who he meant. Jesus showed them by giving a piece of bread to Judas. Judas then left the room.

Here are some other possible section headings:

Jesus predicted that one of his disciples would betray him

Jesus knew one of his disciples would oppose him

Paragraph 13:21–30

The Jewish custom at meals was to have several couches arranged in a U-shape around the table. The guests reclined (leaned) on the couches around the table, leaning on their left elbow. Jesus was probably in the center, and John was on Jesus’ right. In this paragraph Peter told John to ask Jesus who would betray him. Jesus said that the person to whom he gave bread would be the one who would betray him. He gave the bread to Judas.

13:28

But no one at the table knew why Jesus had said this to him.

No one else at the meal understood what Jesus was talking about.
(None of the others there understood what Jesus meant.

But: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as But is often translated that way. However, here the word introduces some parenthetical information. Use the most natural way in your language to indicate parenthetical information.

Verses 28–29 tell what the disciples were thinking. The main story returns in verse 30. The NET puts these two verses in parentheses. Some translations do not translate this word. Indicate that these two verses interrupt the main story in a way that is natural in your language.

no one at the table knew why Jesus had said this to him: The other people present did not understand what Jesus meant. They did not realize that Jesus was referring to Judas betraying him. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

no one at the meal understood why Jesus said this to him (NIV)

No one at the table understood what he meant by this. (REB)

none of those present at the table understood why Jesus said this to Judas (NET)

no one at the table: This phrase means “no one present except Jesus and Judas.” Here are some ways to make this phrase clearer or more natural in some languages:

no one else at the meal

none of the others at the table (NLT)

why Jesus had said this to him: The Greek word that the BSB translates as Jesus is literally “he,” as in the NRSV. The pronoun him refers to Judas. In some languages you may need to make this more explicit. For example:

why Jesus said this to Judas (NET)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-background

In [13:28–29](../13/28.md) John interrupts the main storyline in order to provide background information about the disciples’ confusion. Use the natural form in your language for expressing background information.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τῶν ἀνακειμένων

˱of˲_the_‹ones› reclining

See how you translated reclining to eat in [13:23](../13/23.md).
