SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 9:7–9: Herod was confused by the reports about Jesus

Herod the governor heard about the amazing things that Jesus and his apostles were doing. However, Herod did not know what that implied about the kind of person that Jesus was. People said that Jesus was a prophet who had become alive again (9:19), but they could not decide which prophet he was. Some people thought that Jesus was John the Baptizer. Herod had caused John to be executed, and he was confused about who Jesus was and how he got his power.

Some other headings for this section are:

Herod’s confusion about Jesus

Herod was worried

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 14:1–12 and Mark 6:14–29.

9:8a

others that Elijah had appeared,

other people were saying that Elijah had appeared again on earth,
Other people were saying, “He is the prophet Elijah, who has returned from heaven!”

others that Elijah had appeared: A second group of people said that Jesus was really the prophet Elijah. They thought that Elijah had come back from heaven as the person Jesus. Another way to translate this is:

other people said that Jesus was Elijah, who had appeared again on earth

Elijah: Elijah was a prophet who lived more than five hundred years before Jesus. If people in your area do not know about Elijah, you may want to:

Include some implied information in the text. For example:
Elijah the prophet
Include a footnote to give information about him. An example of a footnote is:
Elijah was a prophet who lived more than five hundred years before Jesus. Jews thought that Elijah would return before the Messiah came. They based this belief on Malachi 4:5–6. Elijah had not died, because God took him to heaven in a chariot (2 Kings chapter 2). This is probably why Luke used the phrase “had appeared” instead of the phrase “had come back from the dead.”

9:8b

and still others that a prophet of old had arisen.

and others were saying that another prophet from ancient times had become alive again.
And some others were saying, “He is another of the prophets who died long ago and is now alive again!”

still others: The phrase still others introduces a third group of people who had another wrong idea about who Jesus was.

a prophet of old: A third group of people said that Jesus was another prophet who had lived and died many years before Jesus was born. Their statement implied that Jesus was not Elijah. Since Elijah was also one of the prophets of long ago, it may be necessary to translate this as:

another prophet from long ago

prophet: A prophet was a person who spoke on behalf of God. He told people what God revealed to him. God gave some prophets power to work miracles. These miracles helped people realize that God sent the prophet. Some ways to translate prophet are:

a spokesman for God

a man who speaks God’s words

God’s message-speaker

This word also occurs in 7:39b. See also prophet in the Glossary.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ὑπό τινων δὲ, ὅτι Ἠλείας ἐφάνη

by (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὑπό τινῶν δέ ὅτι Ἠλίας ἐφάνη ἀλλῶν δέ ὅτι προφήτης τὶς τῶν ἀρχαίων ἀνέστη)

The expression “it was said” carries forward from the previous verse and applies to this phrase. Alternate translation: [and it was said by some that Elijah had appeared]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἄλλων δὲ, ὅτι προφήτης τις τῶν ἀρχαίων ἀνέστη

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὑπό τινῶν δέ ὅτι Ἠλίας ἐφάνη ἀλλῶν δέ ὅτι προφήτης τὶς τῶν ἀρχαίων ἀνέστη)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form. Alternate translation: [and some people were saying that Elijah had appeared]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ἄλλων δὲ, ὅτι προφήτης τις τῶν ἀρχαίων ἀνέστη

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὑπό τινῶν δέ ὅτι Ἠλίας ἐφάνη ἀλλῶν δέ ὅτι προφήτης τὶς τῶν ἀρχαίων ἀνέστη)

The expression “it was said” also applies to this phrase. Alternate translation: [but it was said by others that one of the prophets from long ago had come back to life]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἄλλων δὲ, ὅτι προφήτης τις τῶν ἀρχαίων ἀνέστη

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὑπό τινῶν δέ ὅτι Ἠλίας ἐφάνη ἀλλῶν δέ ὅτι προφήτης τὶς τῶν ἀρχαίων ἀνέστη)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form as well. Alternate translation: [but others were saying that one of the prophets from long ago had come back to life]
