SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 9:51–56: The people of a Samaritan village refused to receive Jesus

Even though the Samaritan people were partly Jewish (2 Kings 17:24–41), they worshiped God differently than the Jews did. Their main place of worship was on Mount Gerazim, while the Jews’ main place of worship was in Jerusalem (John 4:20). The Samaritans did not want Jews to travel through their district on the way to worship in Jerusalem. That is why they rejected Jesus and his disciples.

Some other examples of headings for this section are:

People From a Samaritan Village Reject Jesus (GW)

Samaritan Opposition (NIV)

9:53a

But the people there refused to welcome Him,

But the residents of that village refused to receive Jesus,
But those villagers said that they did not want Jesus and his disciples to enter their village

But the people there refused to welcome Him: The clause But the people there refused to welcome Him probably indicates that the people in that Samaritan village did not accept the messengers whom Jesus had sent on ahead. They told the messengers that they would not offer hospitality to Jesus and his disciples, so the messengers were not able to get things ready. Some other ways to translate this are:

But the people there would not receive him (GNT)

But the residents there said that they did not want Jesus to enter their village.

9:53b

because He was heading for Jerusalem.

because it was clear that he was journeying toward Jerusalem.
because Jesus and his disciples were on their way to worship in Jerusalem.

because He was heading for Jerusalem: The clause that the BSB translates as because He was heading for Jerusalem is literally “because his face was set toward Jerusalem.” Several English versions translate the clause that way. The reason why the Samaritan villagers refused to welcome Jesus was that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. The Samaritans worshiped on Mount Gerazim in Samaria. For this reason, they were not friendly towards Jews who went through their territory to worship at the temple in Jerusalem.

The people of the Samaritan village did not personally see Jesus heading toward Jerusalem. This information was probably clear because they heard it from the messengers. For example:

because it was clear that he was on his way to Jerusalem (GNT)

General Comment on 9:53a–b

In some languages it may be more natural to change the order of the clauses in these two verse parts so that the reason (9:53b) precedes the result (9:53a). For example:

^53bbut he was heading for Jerusalem, ^53aso the people there did not welcome him

Use a natural order in your language.

uW Translation Notes:

οὐκ ἐδέξαντο αὐτόν

not ˱they˲_received him

Alternate translation: [the Samaritans did not want him to stay with them]

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἦν πορευόμενον εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί οὐκ ἐδέξαντο αὐτόν ὅτι τό πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἦν πορευόμενον εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ)

Luke is using one part of Jesus to represent all of him. Luke may use the face because Jesus was facing in the direction he was traveling. Or this may echo the expression “he set his face” in [9:52](../09/52.md). Alternate translation: [he was traveling toward Jerusalem]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὅτι τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἦν πορευόμενον εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ

because (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί οὐκ ἐδέξαντο αὐτόν ὅτι τό πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἦν πορευόμενον εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ)

The Samaritans and the Jews hated each other. Therefore the Samaritans did not want to help Jesus travel to Jerusalem, which was the Jewish capital and the place where the Jews held their major religious observances. Alternate translation: [because they did not want to help any Jew make a journey to Jerusalem]
