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 6:46–49

Jesus concluded his sermon by challenging his listeners not only to hear his teaching but also to obey it. He spoke a parable that illustrated the wisdom of listening and obeying and the folly of listening without obeying.

6:46a–b

Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ but not do what I say?: This is a rhetorical question. Jesus used this rhetorical question to rebuke the people who called him Lord but did not obey him.

Some ways to translate this rebuke are:

As a rhetorical question. For example:
Why do you call me, “Lord, Lord,” and yet don’t do what I tell you? (GNT)
As a statement or a command. For example:
You are wrong to call me “Lord, Lord” and not do what I say.
You should not call me “Lord, Lord” if you are not going to obey me.

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

6:46a

Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’

¶ “Why do you^(plur) call me ‘Lord, Lord,’
¶ “You^(plur) should not say that I am your Master

call Me: The words call Me indicate here that these people were using the title “Lord, Lord” to address Jesus. Another way to translate this is:

keep on saying that I am your Lord (CEV)

Lord, Lord: The Greek word that the BSB translates as Lord means “master” or “one who has authority over others.” People used this word as a polite title when they spoke to an elder or someone in authority.

In this context, Jesus taught that the people who were calling him Lord acknowledged that he was their master. They were implying that they were following him as his disciples. Therefore, they knew that he had the right to tell them what to do and that they ought to obey him. Some other ways to translate this are:

Master

Leader

The doubled form Lord, Lord is an emphatic way to address someone. Here it emphasizes the honor and respect that the title Lord implies. In some languages, this doubled form might imply a wrong meaning. For example, it could mean that the speaker is angry with the person he is addressing. If this doubled form does not show honor in your language, use the word Lord once. Indicate the emphasis in another way. For example:

Why do you insist that I am your lord/master by calling me ‘Lord/Master,’ but…

See Lord, Context 3, in the Glossary.

6:46b

but not do what I say?

and yet you do not do what I say to do?
if you are not going to obey me.

but not do what I say: This part of the verse contrasts with 6:46a. When people call Jesus their Lord, it implies that they will obey him. However, Jesus indicated that the people were not actually obeying him. Some ways to show this contrast are:

and yet don’t do what I tell you (GNT)

and in spite of that, you do not do what I say

what I say: Some other ways to translate the phrase what I say are:

what I say that you should do

what I command/tell you to do
