OET (OET-LV) And he_is blessed who if may_ not _be_offended in me.

OET (OET-RV) Anyone who’s not embarrassed by me will be blessed.”

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.

11:6

Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”

In 11:6, Jesus encouraged John and his disciples to continue to believe that he was the Messiah/Christ.

Blessed is the one: The Greek word that the BSB translates as Blessed refers to the good situation/condition that a person is in when a superior person does something good to him. When God does something good to a human being and is kind to him, that person is in a good situation. He is “blessed,” “fortunate,” and “favored.”

Here are some other ways to translate Blessed:

Favored/fortunate

God favors/approves

Joyful/desirable is the situation of

How good it is for

This word does not primarily refer to a feeling. However, a person in this good situation will frequently have good feelings like happiness and joy. Do not use a word that only refers to material prosperity or physical health. Do not use a word that refers only to being lucky. See also bless, Meaning 2, in the Glossary.

does not fall away on account of Me: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as does not fall away on account of Me means “does not doubt me” or “does not stop believing me.”

Jesus did some things that people did not expect the Messiah to do. And he did not do some things that they expected the Messiah to do. This caused some people to be offended by him. As a result, they began to doubt whether Jesus was the Messiah. Some people rejected and deserted him and refused to believe that he was the Messiah.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

have no doubts about me (GNT)

doesn’t reject me because of what I do (CEV)

turn away because of me (NLT)

does not stop believing in me

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

μακάριός ἐστιν ὃς ἐὰν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί μακάριος ἐστίν ὅς ἐάν μή σκανδαλισθῇ ἐν ἐμοί)

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [God will bless any person who]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ὃς ἐὰν μὴ σκανδαλισθῇ ἐν ἐμοί

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί μακάριος ἐστίν ὅς ἐάν μή σκανδαλισθῇ ἐν ἐμοί)

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [whoever does not stumble on me]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

μὴ σκανδαλισθῇ ἐν ἐμοί

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί μακάριος ἐστίν ὅς ἐάν μή σκανδαλισθῇ ἐν ἐμοί)

Jesus speaks as if he were a lump or rock that people could stumble on. He means that some people will reject and desert him because of what he does and because of what will happen to him. However, those who do not reject or desert him will be blessed. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [does not desert me because of what I do] or [does not run away from me]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

11:6 who do not fall away because of me: The works listed in 11:5 were intended to drive John and his disciples to a decision regarding Jesus. Jesus was aware, however, that certain unexpected elements of his ministry would cause some to reject him.
