SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 10:5–42: Jesus instructed the twelve apostles

In this section, Jesus gave various instructions to the twelve apostles. In 10:5–15, he gave them some practical instructions for preaching the good news. In 10:16–33, he described the opposition that they would see when they went out. Lastly, in 10:34–42, he described the commitment required to be a disciple and the reward for being a disciple.

You may want to break this long section into several shorter sections. Here is an example:

Section 10:5–15	The things the apostles should/must do when sent
Section 10:16–33	The difficulties the apostles will face
Section 10:34–42	The cost and reward of following Jesus

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Jesus gave directions/instructions to the twelve apostles for preaching the gospel

The Mission of the Twelve (GNT)

Instructions for the Twelve Apostles (CEV)

10:10a

Take no bag for the road, or second tunic, or sandals, or staff;

nor bag for your trip, nor extra clothes or sandals, nor walking stick,
Do not take a travelling bag for your trip, or a second shirt, or extra shoes or a walking stick.

Take no bag for the road: In the Greek, this clause is literally “no bag for the road.” The word Take is not in the Greek of 10:10a but the words “Do…carry” are implied from 10:9. In some languages, it will be necessary to repeat the verb used in 10:9, as the BSB does.

The word bag refers to the type of bag used when traveling. It is a bag in which clothes and other things are carried.

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

traveler’s bag (NLT)

knapsack (JBP)

or second tunic: The Greek word that the BSB translates as tunic refers to a long “shirt” or “undergarment” that covered the body from the shoulders to the knees. Both men and women wore this kind of garment next to the skin and then put an outer garment over it.

This same word occurs in 5:40a.

The phrase or second tunic means that the disciples should not take an extra tunic along with them. They could wear one, but not take a second one along.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

an extra shirt (GNT)

extra clothes (NCV)

a second shirt

or sandals: The word sandals refers to a type of shoe. They are flat pieces of leather with straps to tie to the feet.

This phrase probably means that Jesus prohibited his disciples from taking extra sandals. He was not telling them to go barefoot. (See the parallel passage in Mark 6:9 where Jesus told his disciples to wear sandals.)

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

extra sandals/shoes

a second pair of shoes

or staff: This word refers to a walking stick, which helped a person walk in difficult places. He also used it to protect himself against animals, snakes, and robbers.

Here is another way to translate this word:

walking stick (GNT)

10:10b

for the worker is worthy of his provisions.

because the worker is worthy of his support.
I say this because it is proper for people to supply your needs when you do the work of the Lord among them.

for: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as for introduces the basis for the command not to take along any gold or these other things (10:9–10a). The disciples should not take along these things for/because they are God’s workers and deserve their food.

Here are some other ways to introduce this basis:

because

I say this because

the worker is worthy of his provisions: This clause was probably a Jewish proverb. Jesus used it to apply to his workers, the disciples.

It means that other people should take care of the needs of a disciple when he works for God. This would include the food and whatever other needs he might have.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

the worker deserves to have his needs met (GW)

the worker is worthy of receiving his living

it is appropriate/right that you be given what you need from/by the people to whom you give the word of God

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-unknown

πήραν

knapsack

The term bag means something a traveler would use to carry things that were needed on a journey. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of container, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: [a knapsack]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ὁδὸν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: μή πήραν εἰς ὁδόν μηδέ δύο χιτῶνας μηδέ ὑποδήματα μηδέ ῥάβδον ἄξιος γάρ ὁ ἐργάτης τῆς τροφῆς αὐτοῦ)

Here, road represents a journey. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the journey]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

δύο χιτῶνας

two tunics

Jesus implies that they should bring only one tunic instead of two. In other words, they should not bring an extra one in case they needed it. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [a second tunic] or [a spare tunic]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὑποδήματα

sandals

Jesus could mean that the disciples should: (1) not wear anything on their feet but instead go barefoot. Alternate translation: [shoes] or [footwear] (2) not bring an extra pair of sandals. Alternate translation: [extra sandals]

Note 5 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

The word for introduces a reason why the disciples should not take any of these things with them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a reason or basis for a claim, or you could leave for untranslated. Alternate translation: [because] or [since]

Note 6 topic: writing-proverbs

ἄξιος & ὁ ἐργάτης τῆς τροφῆς αὐτοῦ

worthy_‹is› & the worker ˱of˲_the food ˱of˲_him

Jesus uses or invents a proverb in order to teach that each laborer desires to receive food. He applies this to the disciples, who are serving others and so deserve to receive what they need to live. Translate this proverb in a way that will be recognized as a proverb and be meaningful in your language and culture. Alternate translation: [workers deserve food] or [those who work should be given what they need]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

τῆς τροφῆς αὐτοῦ

˱of˲_the food ˱of˲_him

Jesus is using food to represent what people need to live. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [of what he needs to live]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

αὐτοῦ

˱of˲_him

Although the term his is masculine, Jesus is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: [his or her]
