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.

9:21

Jesus strictly warned them not to tell this to anyone.

¶ Jesus gave them firm/strict orders not to tell anyone about this.
¶ Jesus strongly commanded them, “Do^(plur) not tell this to anyone.”

In this verse Jesus commanded the disciples not to tell others what they had just said to him. Even though it was true, they should keep quiet about it. Connect this verse to 9:20 in a way that is natural in your language.

Jesus strictly warned them: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as strictly warned contains two verbs that mean almost the same thing. For example:

he charged and commanded them (RSV)

The two verbs together emphasize that Jesus was giving the disciples a strong command. Another way to translate this phrase is:

Jesus gave them strict orders (GNT)

not to tell this to anyone: Jesus told the disciples not to tell anyone what Peter had said about him. It was true, but it was not the right time yet for all the people to hear that he was the Messiah.

In some languages it may be more natural to translate this verse using direct speech. For example:

Jesus strictly warned them, “Do not tell this to anyone.”

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

παρήγγειλεν μηδενὶ λέγειν τοῦτο

commanded_‹them› (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ ἐπιτιμήσας αὐτοῖς παρήγγειλεν μηδενί λέγειν τοῦτο)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could make the verb rather than the object negative. You could also express this as a direct quotation. Alternate translation: [commanded them not to tell this to anyone] or [commanded them, “Do not tell this to anyone”]
