SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 12:54–59: Jesus told the people to prepare for what was about to happen

In this section Jesus again spoke to the crowd. He first rebuked them because they understood signs that the weather was going to change, but they did not understand what God was about to do. They did not know what to expect from God by the things that they saw Jesus doing. What he taught, the miracles he did, and the things that were happening to him showed that God had sent him. The people should have known and believed that he was the Messiah, and that they needed to listen to him and repent of their sins (12:54–57). Jesus warned them about this by telling them a parable about a legal dispute. The parable showed that they should reconcile with God before the time of judgment arrived (12:58–59).

Other possible headings for this section are:

Understanding the Times (NCV)

Discern What God Wants You to Do in These Days

There is a parallel passage for 12:54–56 in Matthew 16:2–3. There is a parallel passage for 12:57–59 in Matthew 5:25–26.

12:57

And why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?

Why don’t you^(plur) yourselves consider and approve what is right?
You yourselves should decide what is the right thing to do about that.

And why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?: This is a rhetorical question. It functions as a rebuke. It indicates that the people themselves should think about what was happening and decide what was right. Jesus was rebuking them because they did not do that.

Some ways to translate this rebuke are:

As a rhetorical question. For example:
Why can’t you decide for yourselves what is right? (NLT)
As a statement. For example:
You should judge for yourselves what is right.

Translate this rebuke in a way that is natural in your language.

judge for yourselves what is right: In this context the phrase judge for yourselves what is right probably refers back to 12:56. It indicates that the people should think about what was happening and decide the right way to interpret it. It probably also implies that they should decide what was right to do about it. The parable in 12:58–59 indicates that they should make peace with God.

Translate this phrase in a way that implies this meaning. In some languages you may need to add a phrase to make the meaning clear. For example:

think about this and decide for yourselves what is right

decide for yourselves what is the right thing to do in these times

judge for yourselves: The Greek verb that the BSB translates as judge often refers to deciding what is right in court cases. In this context the phrase judge for yourselves indicates that the people themselves should think carefully about what was right. They should not rely only on what someone else told them.
