SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 4:14–30: The people rejected Jesus at Nazareth

In the synagogue in Nazareth, Jesus read a text from Isaiah that refers to the Messiah. Jesus said that what this scripture talked about was happening as he read it. By saying this, Jesus was claiming to be the Messiah. He used examples from the history of Israel to show that the Israelites did not believe and obey God well. He implied that people from other countries were ready to believe and obey God more than the people of Israel were. So the people of Nazareth tried to kill Jesus, but they could not.

Some other possible headings for this section are:

The People of Nazareth Turn against Jesus (CEV)

Jesus Rejected at Nazareth (ESV)

There is a parallel passage for this section in Mark 6:1–6.

4:21a

and He began by saying,

and He began by saying: The clause that the BSB translates as He began by saying is literally “and He began to say/speak to them.” It indicates here that Jesus began to teach them. He began to explain the scripture that he had just read to them. This scripture was about him, and it was being fulfilled.

In your translation, you may want to use a more specific word or phrase than by saying or “to speak.” For example:

Then Jesus began to teach them. He said…

Then Jesus began to explain the words that he had read, saying…

4:21b

“Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”

Today this Scripture is fulfilled: The phrase Today this Scripture is fulfilled means “That which this scripture talked about is happening today.” With these words, Jesus told them that he was the person whom the prophet Isaiah had written about. He was the one who fulfilled this scripture. God had appointed him to be the Messiah, and the Holy Spirit had empowered him to do all the things in 4:18–19.

Some other ways to translate this are:

Today this scripture has been fulfilled (NET)

Today…this text has come true. (REB)

This passage came true today (GW)

Jesus was not saying that all the prisoners had been released, that all the blind people cured, or that the other things that he had read about had already happened.

in your hearing: The phrase in your hearing means “while you have been listening.” Some other ways to translate this are:

when you heard me read it. (GW)

While you heard these words just now (NCV)

General Comment on 4:21b

In some languages, it may be more natural to change the order of some of the parts of 4:21b. For example:

What you have just heard me read has come true today. (CEV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

σήμερον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἤρξατο Δέ λέγειν πρός αὐτούς ὅτι Σήμερον πεπλήρωται ἡ Γραφή αὕτη ἐν τοῖς ὠσίν ὑμῶν)

Today refers to the present moment. Alternate translation: [Right now]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

πεπλήρωται ἡ Γραφὴ αὕτη

˓has_been˒_fulfilled ¬the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἤρξατο Δέ λέγειν πρός αὐτούς ὅτι Σήμερον πεπλήρωται ἡ Γραφή αὕτη ἐν τοῖς ὠσίν ὑμῶν)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form. Alternate translation: [I am fulfilling what this scripture says]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἐν τοῖς ὠσὶν ὑμῶν

in the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἤρξατο Δέ λέγειν πρός αὐτούς ὅτι Σήμερον πεπλήρωται ἡ Γραφή αὕτη ἐν τοῖς ὠσίν ὑμῶν)

In this expression, the ears represent people in the act of listening. Alternate translation: [even as you are listening]
