SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 9:23–27: Jesus spoke about what a person must do to be his disciple

In the preceding section Jesus was speaking to his disciples. This section is addressed to “all.” According to the parallel passage in Mark, Jesus called the crowd of people who were there to come and listen to him. Luke does not make this detail explicit, but it is implied by the word “all.” So in these verses Jesus was speaking to the crowd, as well as to his disciples. This meant that most of the people to whom Jesus spoke were not his followers.

In 9:23 Jesus told the people what a person must do in order to be his disciple. A person must deny himself, take up his cross every day, and follow Jesus. In the next verses (9:24–26) Jesus explained why a person must do this. Sometimes a person chooses not to follow Jesus because he wants to avoid death and shame in the present life. If, for that reason, he does not follow Jesus, he will be shamed in the future at the final judgment. He will forfeit true life with God. By contrast, a person who chooses to follow Christ may lose his present life, but he will gain true life with God.

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

Jesus told people how to be his true disciples

The Life of a Person who Becomes Jesus’ Disciple

What it Means to Follow Jesus

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 16:24–28 and Mark 8:34–9:1. See also Luke 14:27, 17:33; John 12:25.

9:26

This part of the verse gives another reason why a person should deny himself and be ready to die as a disciple (9:23). The reason is that a person who chooses to avoid shame in the present life will be shamed in the future at the final judgment. Express this reason/explanation in a natural way in your language.

9:26a

If anyone is ashamed of Me and My words,

For if anyone is ashamed of me and of what I teach,
If any of you^(plur) refuse to acknowledge me as your master and to follow my teachings,

If anyone is ashamed of Me and My words: This clause describes a person who refuses to become Jesus’ disciple and follow his teachings because he feels ashamed in front of other people. He is unwilling to acknowledge that he follows Jesus because he is afraid that others will mock him.

In your translation, avoid suggesting that Jesus might have done something wrong that would cause someone to be ashamed. Some other ways to translate If anyone is ashamed of Me and My words include:

If anyone is ashamed to become my disciple and to believe/obey my words

If anyone is not willing to acknowledge me as his master and to obey what I teach because people would humiliate him

My words: The phrase My words refers to what Jesus has said, that is, to his teachings.

9:26b

the Son of Man will be ashamed of him

then the Son of Man will be ashamed of him
then I, the Son of Man, will deny that you^(sing) are my follower
then I, the Son of Man, will say that you^(sing) are not my disciple.

the Son of Man will be ashamed of him: This part of the verse indicates that Jesus, the Son of Man, will be ashamed of any person who was ashamed to become his follower. In this context, for Jesus to be ashamed of someone does not mean that Jesus will feel embarrassed. It means that Jesus will deny that such a person belongs to him. He will be unwilling to say that such a person was his disciple. See how you translated ashamed in 9:26a.

Son of Man: Jesus often referred to himself as the Son of Man. In some languages it may be necessary to make it clear that Jesus was referring to himself:

I, the Son of Man

The phrase Son of Man also occurs in 9:22a. See the note there for more information.

9:26c

when He comes in His glory

when he comes with/showing his greatness
when I return to earth. At that time I will be surrounded by the same dazzling splendor
This will happen when I come back to earth. Then everyone will see my radiant majesty

when He comes in His glory: The clause when He comes in His glory refers to the time when Jesus will return to earth. He will return in a way that will show people his divine greatness and dazzling brightness. Jesus continued to refer to himself here. Consider if it is more natural in your language to use forms such as “I” and “my.” For example:

when I come in my glory

Some ways to translate the phrase in His glory here are:

with/showing his greatness

with/showing his dazzling brightness

people will see his radiant majesty

glory: In the Old Testament, God’s glory refers to the bright light or cloud that people saw when God was present with them. The way God appeared to them symbolized how powerful and great he was.

In the New Testament, when glory describes Jesus, it sometimes refers in general to his divine character or attributes. Sometimes, as here, the word glory refers specifically to his power and greatness or to his dazzling brightness.

9:26d

and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.

and the greatness of his Father God, and the greatness of the holy angels.
that God my Father and the holy angels have.
that will be like the radiant majesty of my Father and of the holy angels.

and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels: When Jesus returns, he will also show the same glory that his Father God and the holy angels have. He will have the same greatness and will be surrounded by the same brightness. Another way to translate this phrase is:

and the greatness of his Father God and the greatness of the holy angels

They will also see the radiant majesty of my Father and of the holy angels.

holy angels: The Greek word that the BSB translates as angels means “messengers.” The phrase holy angels refers to spirit beings who serve God.

The angels are holy because they are dedicated to God. They are also holy because they are pure. In some languages the term for angels already includes one of these ideas.

Some ways to translate holy angels here are:

Use a descriptive word or phrase. For example:
messengers from God/heaven
good/holy spirit-beings
Use a local term that fits the biblical meaning.
Use a borrowed term or a transliterated word for “angel” that is already being used by churches in the area. If you use this term, you may need to indicate the meaning and add the idea of holy. For example:
angelos messengers from God
sacred/holy angelos spirits

Be sure that your term for “angel” is different from your terms for “prophet” and “apostle.” See angel, Meaning 1, in the Glossary for a chart that shows the differences in these three terms.

General Comment on 9:26a–d

In 9:26a, Jesus referred to himself with the forms “Me” and “My.” In 9:26c–d he purposely used different forms and spoke of himself as the “Son of Man” and “he.” If this is confusing in your language, you may need to use forms such as “me” and “my” in the whole verse. For example:

If a person is ashamed of me and my message in these adulterous and sinful days, I, the Son of Man, will be ashamed of that person when I return in my glory and in the glory of the Father and the holy angels. (NLT96)
