SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 24:50–53: Jesus went up to heaven

In this section Jesus blessed his followers, and then God took him up to heaven. This happened forty days after Jesus became alive again. Luke wrote about this same event in Acts 1:9–11.

Some examples of other headings for this section are:

Jesus Returns to Heaven (CEV)

Jesus Is Taken Up to Heaven (GNT)

The Ascension (NLT)

There are parallel passages for this section in Mark 16:19–20 and Acts 1:9–11.

24:53

praising God continually in the temple.

There they continually went to the temple to praise/thank God.
and every day they praised God in the temple area.

praising God continually in the temple: This clause indicates that Jesus’ followers were in the temple area very often. They probably came every day and attended all of the meetings when Jews who were in Jerusalem normally came together to worship God. The clause does not mean that they never left the temple area at all.

Some other ways to translate the clause are:

They went to the temple regularly/continually

And they spent much of their time in the temple area (TRT)

praising God: The Greek word that the BSB translates as praising is literally “blessing,” as in the RSV. In this context the phrase “blessing God” indicates that Jesus’ followers were expressing gratitude and praise to God. Some other ways to translate the phrase are:

giving thanks to God (GNT)

where they praised God (GW)

For more information, see bless, Meaning 4, in the Glossary.

temple: The word temple refers to the temple building and the courtyards that surrounded it. For more information and translation advice, see the note at 18:10a. See also temple, Meaning 1, in the Glossary.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

διὰ παντὸς

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἦσαν διά παντός ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ εὐλογοῦντες τόν Θεόν)

Luke is leaving out a word that a sentence would ordinarily need in order to be complete. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could supply the word from the context. Alternate translation: [through all hours]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

διὰ παντὸς

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἦσαν διά παντός ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ εὐλογοῦντες τόν Θεόν)

Luke means that the disciples were in the temple through all the hours that the temple was open. Even so, this is an overstatement to emphasize that they went to the temple every day. Alternate translation: [every day]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ

in the temple

Only priests were allowed to enter the temple building. Luke is using the word for the entire building to refer to one part of it. Alternate translation: [in the temple courtyard]

εὐλογοῦντες τὸν Θεόν

blessing (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἦσαν διά παντός ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ εὐλογοῦντες τόν Θεόν)

Alternate translation: [worshiping God]
