OET (OET-LV) Also you_all be_ not _seeking what you_all_may_eat, or what you_all_may_drink, and be_ not _being_worried.

OET (OET-RV) “So don’t all be looking for what to eat or to drink, and don’t waste time by worrying

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 12:22–34: Jesus encouraged his disciples to trust God to care for them

In the previous section Jesus told the crowd a parable to teach them not to be greedy. In this section he turned again to his disciples and taught them not to worry about the things they needed. Instead, they should think about the things that were important to God and share their possessions with the poor. God would provide what they needed.

Some other possible headings for this section are:

God’s Care For Those Who Trust In Him

Trust in God (GNT)

Do not Worry (NIV)

There is a parallel passage for this section in Matthew 6:25–34.

12:29

In the two preceding paragraphs, Jesus told his disciples not to worry about food or clothes. 12:29 repeats Jesus’ command not to worry about food or drink. Then it gives more general instructions not to worry about such things, as pagans do, but to seek God’s kingdom.

Versions such as the NIV, RSV, and NJB do not start a new paragraph with this verse. The BSB, GNT, and some other versions do start a new paragraph here. You should do whatever is appropriate in your language.

12:29a

And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink.

And do not: In Greek, this verse begins with the emphatic plural pronoun “you.” More literally, it says “And you, do not….” This emphatic pronoun may contrast the disciples with the birds and flowers (preceding context) or with people who do not know God (12:30). If possible, translate this sentence in a way that focuses attention on “you” (the disciples). For example:

As for you, do not seek (NAB)

do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as do not be concerned about is literally “do not seek,” that is, do not make this your life’s aim or goal. Other ways to translate this clause are:

Don’t always think about what you will eat and what you will drink (NCV)

Do not focus your thoughts on the food and drink that you need

Do not use all your time and energy in getting enough to eat and drink

12:29b

Do not worry about it.

Do not worry: The Greek word that the BSB translates as worry occurs only here in the New Testament. It refers to feeling fear and anxiety. Its meaning is almost the same as the word that was translated as “worry” in 12:22b.

about it: The BSB has supplied the phrase about it. It is not translated from anything explicit in the Greek text. Consider if you need to supply a phrase indicating what the disciples were not to worry about. Jesus meant that they were not to worry about what they were going to eat and drink, as in 12:22a.

General Comment on 12:29a–b

In some languages it may be more natural to change the order of words in these two verse parts or to combine them in different ways. For example:

So don’t be all upset, always concerned about what you will eat and drink. (GNT)

Don’t keep worrying about having something to eat and drink. (CEV)

Stop thinking and worrying about the food and drink that you need.

uW Translation Notes:

ὑμεῖς μὴ ζητεῖτε τί φάγητε, καὶ τί πίητε

you_all (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ὑμεῖς μή ζητεῖτε τί φάγητε ἤ τί πίητε καί μή μετεωρίζεσθε)

The word seek has a specific meaning here. It does not mean to look for these things because they have been lost. Alternate translation: [do not concentrate on what you will eat and drink]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

12:22-34 Jesus’ warning against greed (12:13-21) is followed by teaching about living in dependence on God. Jesus’ disciples were to focus on God’s Kingdom and his purpose in this world rather than being obsessed with possessions.
