SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 12:1–14: Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath

There are two main events in this section. One is about picking grain on the Sabbath. The other is about healing on the Sabbath. These two events show that Jesus has the authority to decide which deeds are acceptable to do on the Sabbath.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Jesus showed that he has authority over Sabbath rules

Lord of the Sabbath (NIV)

The Pharisees criticize Jesus because of what he did on the Sabbath

There are parallel passages for this section in Mark 2:23–3:6 and Luke 6:1–11.

12:6

But I tell you that something greater than the temple is here.

I tell you: The words I tell you emphasize the words that follow.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

that something greater than the temple is here: The Greek word that the BSB literally translates as something probably refers to Jesus. In some languages, it is possible for Jesus to refer to himself as something. In other languages, it will be more natural to say:

one greater than the temple is here (NIV)

someone more important than the temple is here

greater: In this context, the word greater refers to higher in status and not to bigger in size. Jesus was more important than the temple.

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

more important (JBP)

more valuable

with/of greater authority

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

δὲ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: λέγω Δέ ὑμῖν ὅτι τοῦ ἱεροῦ μεῖζον ἐστίν ὧδε)

The word But introduces a slight contrast with what Jesus has said about how serving in the temple is an exception to keeping the Sabbath. In this verse, Jesus indicates that there is an even greater thing that provides an exception to keeping the Sabbath. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of contrast. Alternate translation: [And yet] or [But now]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo

μεῖζόν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: λέγω Δέ ὑμῖν ὅτι τοῦ ἱεροῦ μεῖζον ἐστίν ὧδε)

The word something is a very general term. It could refer to the kingdom of God, Jesus himself, the ministry that Jesus begins, what Jesus calls his disciples to do, or many other things. If possible, you should use a general term that could refer to many or all of these things. Alternate translation: [an entity greater than] or [a new thing greater than]
