SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 11:1–19: Jesus praised John the Baptist

Long before Jesus was born, God spoke of a messenger who would prepare the people for the coming of the Messiah (Malachi 3:1). John the Baptist was that messenger. When John’s ministry was ending, he began to doubt that Jesus was the Messiah. So John sent some of his disciples to verify that Jesus was the Messiah (11:3). Jesus indicated that his miracles and preaching were proof that he was the expected Messiah whom God spoke of (11:4–5).

Jesus then showed that John was very important in God’s eyes (11:7–14).

Jesus and John did God’s work in very different ways, but most people refused to listen to either person (11:16–19).

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

The question of John the Baptist

Jesus talked about John the Baptizer

Messengers from John the Baptist (NRSV)

Jesus and John the Baptizer’s actions prove who they are

There is a parallel passage for this section in Luke 7:18–35.

11:4a

Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John

Jesus replied: The verb replied introduces Jesus’ answer to the question that John’s disciples asked in 11:3. It indicates that Jesus did not ignore the question even though his answer was indirect. He wanted John’s disciples to see the miracles that he was doing. The miracles showed that he was the Christ, the one whom the prophets said would come.

So the implied direct answer is “Yes, I am the Christ/Messiah.” But he did not openly say “Yes, I am the Christ” until his trial (26:62–64). So your translation should keep the implied answer of “Yes, I am the Christ” as implied only.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

Jesus answered John’s disciples (GW)

Jesus replied (NIV)

Go back and report to John: The Greek verb that the BSB translates as report refers to giving information about something. Jesus instructed John’s disciples to go give a report to John about the things that they heard and saw.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

Go back to John and tell him (NLT)

Go back and report to John (NIV)

11:4b

what you hear and see:

what you hear and see: The words what you hear and see refer to the words and deeds of Jesus. According to Luke 7:21, Jesus was healing people while John’s disciples were there with him. So John’s disciples were eye witnesses to at least some of Jesus’ miracles. It is possible that they did not see all the miracles that Jesus mentioned, but they had heard reports about them. They probably also heard Jesus preach.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

what you are hearing and seeing (GNT)

the words that you are hearing and the deeds that you are seeing

what you hear me say and see me do

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-quotations

ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἀποκριθείς ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Πορευθέντες ἀπαγγείλατε Ἰωάννῃ ἅ ἀκούετε καί βλέπετε)

Together the words answering and said mean that Jesus responded to the question that John’s disciples had asked him. Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: [Jesus responded]
