SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 9:49–50: Jesus told who is for him and who is against him

The connection of this section to the previous section is probably in the phrase “in my name.” In the previous Section 9:46–48, Jesus taught his disciples that a truly great person was one who humbly welcomed even a little child in his name. In this section, the disciple John responded that he and the other disciples had tried to stop a man from expelling demons in Jesus’ name. They did this because the man was not one of the twelve disciples. Jesus then taught them that anyone who did not oppose them was on their side.

Some other examples of headings for this section are:

Whoever Is Not against You Is for You (GNT)

Those who do not oppose you help you

There is a parallel passage for this section in Mark 9:38–40.

9:50a

“Do not stop him,” Jesus replied,

But Jesus said, “Do^(plur) not stop him,
Jesus replied, “Do^(plur) not forbid people like him from using my name to do that,

Jesus replied In Greek this verse is literally “And/But Jesus said to him.” Jesus told John that they should not stop the man. Introduce Jesus’ words in a natural way in your language.

The Greek text specifies “to him.” Most English versions include these words. However, the verb phrase “Do not stop” is plural. This indicates that Jesus addressed this phrase not only to John but also to the other disciples. Another way to translate this is:

Jesus said to him and to the other disciples (GNT)

The BSB says only Jesus replied. It does not specify to whom Jesus was talking. Consider whether you need to make this information explicit in your translation.

Do not stop him: The command Do not stop is in the present tense in Greek. In this context, this tense indicates a general principle: “Do not be stopping.” You should translate this as a general principle. For example:

Do not stop people like him.

stop him: As in 9:49b, it may be necessary to say explicitly what action was stopped. If this is true in your language, use an expression that is similar to the expression in 9:49b.

Jesus replied: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as Jesus replied is literally “Jesus said.” In some languages it may be more natural to translate the clause the way the BSB does, since Jesus responded to what John said. See the note at the beginning of 9:50a.

In Greek, these words occur at the beginning of 9:50. Most English versions put them there. The BSB places the words Jesus replied in the middle of Jesus’ response. Place the clause that introduces the quote where it is natural in your language.

9:50b

“for whoever is not against you is for you.”

because anyone who is not opposing you^(plur) is helping you.”
because whoever is not against you^(plur) is on your side.”
because anyone who is not your^(plur) enemy is your friend.”

for: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as for introduces the reason/basis for the command in 9:50a.

For a way to change the order of 9:50a–b, see the General Comment on 9:50a–b below.

whoever is not against you is for you: This expression states that there are two groups of people:

Those who are for Jesus.
Those who are against Jesus.

All people are in one of these two groups. So if someone is not against you, then he is for you. The pronoun you refers primarily to Jesus’ disciples. The parallel verse in Mark 9:40 uses the pronoun “us,” referring to both Jesus and his disciples, but Luke focused here on the disciples. Some other ways to translate this are:

The man who is not against you is on your side. (JBP)

the person who is not your enemy is your friend

General Comment on 9:50a–b

In some languages, it may be more natural to put the basis for Jesus’ command (9:50b) before the command (9:50a). For example:

^50bWhoever is not against you is for you. ^50aSo/Therefore do not stop him.

Another major division of the Gospel of Luke begins here at 9:51 and continues through 19:27. Jesus, with his disciples, started on a trip from Galilee to Jerusalem. They went through the districts of Samaria and Perea and entered the district of Judea on the way to Jerusalem.
