OET (OET-LV) But be_taking_heed of the people, because/for they_will_be_giving_ you_all _over into councils, and they_will_be_flogging you_all in the synagogues of_them,

OET (OET-RV) But watch out because there’s people that will turn you in to the councils and then you’ll be flogged in their meeting halls.

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)

10:17a

But beware of men;

beware of men: The Greek word that the BSB translates as beware of also means “be careful of, be alert about, or watch out for.” The disciples should realize that some people are enemies of the good news of Jesus, and so they must be prepared for opposition.

In this context, the word men refers generally to “people.”

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

Be on your guard against men (NIV)

Watch out for people (GW)

Be careful of people (NCV)

10:17b

for they will hand you over to their councils

for: Verse 10:17b gives the basis for the command to beware of men (in 10:17a). The Greek introduces this basis with a conjunction that the BSB translates as for. Beware of men (17a) for/because they will hand you over to the local councils. (17b)

Here are some other ways to introduce this basis:

because (NCV)

The reason is that

In some languages, it will be more natural to put the basis before the command. For example:

17bMen will deliver you over to courts 17cand flog you in their synagogues. 17aSo beware of them.

they: The word they refers to the “men” in 10:17a. They are the people who are opposed to the message of Jesus as the Messiah. They are likened to wolves in 10:16a.

If it is not natural to simply translate the pronoun they, you may want to add some information to clarify who these people are. For example:

those who oppose/reject your message about me

The people who are like wolves

will hand you over: This phrase refers to handing someone over for trial and judgment. These enemies will set the disciples before the local councils, and these councils will decide how to punish them for preaching about Jesus.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

will arrest you and take you (GNT)

will hand you over (NIV)

to their councils: The Greek word that the BSB translates as councils refers to local courts. Such courts in Israel decided religious, civic, and criminal matters. Every Jewish town or village that had a synagogue would likely also have councils.

Here are some other ways to translate this term:

to their courts (ESV)

to the judges

to trial

10:17c

and flog you in their synagogues.

flog you: The word flog means whip or strike someone with a whip of leather. The usual Jewish punishment was to flog thirty-nine times. They struck twenty-six times on the back and thirteen times on the chest.

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

whip (GNT)

hit/strike with a whip of leather

It is implied that the courts would decide that the disciples were guilty and therefore give them the punishment of flogging. In some languages, it may be necessary to include this information. For example:

who will condemn you and whip you

who will declare that you are guilty and whip you

in their synagogues: The word synagogues refers to buildings where Jews gathered to pray, read Scripture, teach their beliefs, and worship God. The Jews also gathered in synagogues for cultural activities. There was only one temple, but each Jewish community had a synagogue.

The pronoun their refers to the Jews in each town.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

in the prayer-houses of the Jews

in the meeting-places of the Jews

in their buildings for worship

in each of the houses for gathering together

This word also occurs in 4:23b and 9:35b.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δὲ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: προσέχετε Δέ ἀπό τῶν ἀνθρώπων παραδώσουσιν γάρ ὑμᾶς εἰς συνέδρια καί ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς αὐτῶν μαστιγώσουσιν ὑμᾶς)

The word But introduces a development of what Jesus said in the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a development, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: [Indeed,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τῶν ἀνθρώπων

¬the people

Jesus is referring to men in general, some of whom will persecute and harm the disciples. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [others] or [people]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

τῶν ἀνθρώπων

¬the people

Although the term men 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: [the men and women] or [the people]

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: προσέχετε Δέ ἀπό τῶν ἀνθρώπων παραδώσουσιν γάρ ὑμᾶς εἰς συνέδρια καί ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς αὐτῶν μαστιγώσουσιν ὑμᾶς)

The word for introduces a reason why the disciples should beware of the men. 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 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

παραδώσουσιν & ὑμᾶς εἰς

˱they˲_˓will_be˒_giving_over & you_all into

The phrase hand you over refers to putting someone under the authority and control of other people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [they will make you stand before] or [they will bring you before]
