SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 9:18–22: Peter declared that Jesus is the Christ

In Section 9:7–9, Herod was confused about what kind of person Jesus was. In Section 9:10–17, when Jesus fed more than five thousand people, he showed that he was someone with miraculous power. In this Section, 9:18–22, Jesus asked his disciples what people were saying about who he was. This question implies that he wanted to know whether people thought that God had sent him. He also wanted to know what they thought his mission was. Their answers were very similar to the reports that Herod had heard in 9:7–9.

Jesus then asked the disciples what they themselves thought about him. Peter replied that Jesus was the Christ, the Messiah. Jesus ordered them not to tell others who he was. He explained to the disciples what would happen to him as the Messiah. In contrast to what the disciples thought that Jesus would do as their Messiah, God planned for him to suffer, die, and live again.

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

Peter’s declaration that Jesus was the Messiah

Peter stated his belief about who Jesus was

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 16:13–16 and Mark 8:27–30.

9:20a

“But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?”

But what about you?: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as “But what about you” is literally “But you.” The pronoun you is emphatic and contrasts the disciples with the crowds in the previous verse.

Jesus asked: The BSB has placed the clause Jesus asked in the middle of what Jesus said. In the Greek text it comes before the speech begins. Place it where it is most natural in your language.

Who do you say I am?: Jesus asked the disciples to tell him who they thought he was. This question is similar to the one in 9:18b.

9:20b

Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”

Peter answered, “The Christ of God”: As in previous verse parts, Peter’s answer left some information implied. In some languages it may be natural to make this information explicit. For example:

You are the Christ from God. (NCV)

The phrase that the BSB translates literally as The Christ of God means:

the Christ from God (NCV)

the Messiah whom God has sent (GW)

Be careful that you do not use a phrase that means “the Christ who belongs to God.”

Christ: Here the word Christ is used as a title. It is not just one of Jesus’ names. The Jews used this title to refer to the person whom God had appointed and promised to send as king and savior. The title Christ is the Greek translation of the Hebrew word “Messiah,” and the two words have the same meaning.

Some ways to translate Christ are:

You may want to explain the meaning of Christ in a footnote or in a glossary. For example:

The word/title “Christ” refers to the king and savior whom God had promised to send.

See also Christ in the Glossary.

uW Translation Notes:

εἶπεν δὲ αὐτοῖς

˱he˲_said said (Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἶπεν Δέ αὐτοῖς ὑμεῖς Δέ τίνα μέ λέγετε εἶναι Πέτρος Δέ ἀποκριθείς εἶπεν Τόν Χριστόν τοῦ Θεοῦ)

Alternate translation: [Jesus said to his disciples]

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

Πέτρος δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν

Peter (Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἶπεν Δέ αὐτοῖς ὑμεῖς Δέ τίνα μέ λέγετε εἶναι Πέτρος Δέ ἀποκριθείς εἶπεν Τόν Χριστόν τοῦ Θεοῦ)

Together the two words answering and said mean that Peter responded to the follow-up question that Jesus asked his disciples. Alternate translation: [Then Peter responded]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸν Χριστὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἶπεν Δέ αὐτοῖς ὑμεῖς Δέ τίνα μέ λέγετε εἶναι Πέτρος Δέ ἀποκριθείς εἶπεν Τόν Χριστόν τοῦ Θεοῦ)

Christ is the Greek word for “Messiah.” Alternate translation: [You are the Messiah whom God promised to send]
