SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 6:17–49: Jesus taught people how to be his disciples

In this section, Jesus spoke about how his true disciples should think and act. He spoke about this immediately after he had chosen twelve of his disciples to be his apostles. Jesus said many things about this topic in his speech, so that people have often called this particular speech of Jesus a “sermon.”

In this sermon, Jesus asked those who heard him to be different from other people in the world and to think differently. He encouraged his disciples to obey his authority and live as people of God. They should be generous and merciful even to their enemies, as God is generous to everyone. Jesus assured his disciples that they would be blessed and rewarded for their obedience and for suffering for him. He concluded his speech by telling parables to motivate his disciples to obey his teaching.

Another possible heading for this section is:

The Sermon on the Plain (NET)

Some English versions divide 6:17–49 into several sections. Here is one way that might be done:

6:17–26 Blessings and woes

6:27–36 Love your enemies

6:37–42 Do not judge

6:43–45 A tree and its fruit

6:46–49 Two foundations

The sermon in 6:17–49 is similar to the sermon commonly referred to as “The Sermon on the Mount” in Matthew chapters 5–7.

Paragraph 6:32–36

In this paragraph, Jesus stated that some people respond kindly only to those who treat them well. These people are just like the “sinners” whom they despise. He illustrated this with three examples. Each example is a rhetorical question that emphasizes that people like that will get no credit for such behavior.

Jesus then restated the three situations with commands. He said that God would reward them if they followed these commands.

6:33a

If you do good to those who do good to you,

6:33b

what credit is that to you?

6:33a–b

If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you?: This is a rhetorical question. Jesus used this rhetorical question to emphasize that you will not receive any credit in this situation. He said that when you do good only to those who do good to you, it is no credit to you.

Translate this emphasis using the same form (question or statement) that you used in 6:32a–b.

you do good to those who do good to you: In Greek, the same verb occurs twice here; the BSB translate its as do good in both instances. Other versions translate it slightly differently in each case. You could do that in your translation, or you could use the same verb or verb phrase if that is natural in your language. For example:

you do good to those who are good to you (NIV)

you are good to those who are good to you

you help those who help you (GW)

what credit is that to you?: This is exactly the same clause as 6:32b. See the notes on 6:32a–b.

General Comment on 6:33a–b

In some languages, it may be natural to change the order of 6:33a and 6:33b. For example:

33bWhat credit/praise do you deserve 33afor doing good to those who do good to you?

6:33c

Even sinners do the same.

There is a textual issue in 6:33c regarding a conjunction here that is often translated as “for.”

  1. Some Greek manuscripts do not include this conjunction.

  2. Other Greek manuscripts do include this conjunction. For example:

    For even sinners do the same. (RSV) (RSV, ESV, KJV, NASB)

The earliest and most reliable manuscripts do not have this conjunction. Many English versions also do not translate it here. However, it is not possible to tell whether the English versions are following these early manuscripts or whether are omitting the conjunction for reasons of style. You may supply such a conjunction if it is natural in your language.

Even sinners do the same: The clause Even sinners do the same gives the reason why there is no credit in doing good to people who do good to you. Sinners also do good to those who do good to them. So it is clear that this is not exceptional and does not cause a person to deserve special favor. Another way to translate this is:

Even sinners love people who love them (CEV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

ποία ὑμῖν χάρις ἐστίν?

what ˱to˲_you_all grace ˱it˲_is

Once again Jesus is using the question form as a teaching tool. You could translate his words as a statement here as well. Alternate translation: [God will not reward you for doing that]
