SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 21:5–38: Jesus taught about what would happen in the future

After the events of the preceding section, some of Jesus’ disciples were admiring the beautiful stones and gifts that people used to adorn the Temple. Jesus told them that one day the Temple would be completely destroyed. Enemies would attack Jerusalem and destroy the Temple.In A.D. 70, the Jews rebelled against the Romans, and the Roman destroyed the temple. Jesus also told them about other things that would happen in the future. He told them that after these things happened, he would return to earth in power and great glory. He warned his disciples to pray so that they would be able to endure the future troubles and be ready to meet him when he comes again.

It is good to translate this section before you decide on a heading for it. Some examples of other headings are:

The Jerusalem temple would soon be destroyed

The destruction of the temple and the coming times of trouble

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 24:1–35 and Mark 13:1–31.

21:13

This will be your opportunity to serve as witnesses.

This will give you^(plur) an opportunity to testify to them about me.
Thus/Then you^(plur) will be able to tell them what you know about me.
It will provide the way/time for you^(plur) to tell them about me.

This will be your opportunity to serve as witnesses: The Greek clause that the BSB translates as This will be your opportunity to serve as witnesses is literally, “It-will-result for you in a-testimony/witness.” This clause indicates that when the disciples are taken to kings and other leaders (21:12), they will be able to testify. Another way to say this is:

This will be your opportunity to testify. (REB)

In 21:12b–d, Jesus indicated that the disciples will be taken to the kings and leaders because of him. This implies that the testimony will be about Jesus. They will be able to tell the leaders what they know about him. In many languages it is helpful to make this explicit. For example:

But this will be your opportunity to tell them about me. (NLT)

In some languages it is necessary to have a phrase or clause to connect this verse with 21:12. For example:

When that happens, you will be able to tell what you know about me.
