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.

12:8

For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

For: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as For indicates that 12:8 is the basis for Jesus declaring that the disciples were innocent (12:7). It is also the basis for Jesus deciding what was allowed on the Sabbath (12:1–7).

Here are some other ways to translate this conjunction:

Because

I say this because

In some languages, it may be natural to simply begin a new sentence here without translating the conjunction.

the Son of Man: Jesus used the title the Son of Man to refer to himself. In some languages it may be necessary to add the pronoun “I” to show that Jesus was referring to himself. For example:

I, the Son of Man (NLT96)

This phrase also occurs in 8:20b, 9:6a, 10:23c, and 11:19a. For help in translating this phrase, see the note under 8:20b. See also Son of Man in KBT for more information.

is Lord of the Sabbath: In this context, the word Lord means “owner” or “the one in authority over (something).” It refers to Jesus’ authority over the Sabbath day. He had this authority because he was the Son of Man, whom God sent. He had the authority to decide what people could or could not do on the Sabbath day.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

I…am master even of the Sabbath. (NLT96)

I…have authority over the rest day.

I…have the right to decide what a person can do on the Sabbath.

I…have the authority to say what people are allowed to do on the Sabbath.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γάρ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Κύριος Γάρ ἐστίν τοῦ Σαββάτου ὁ Υἱός τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου)

The word For introduces the basis for what Jesus has said about the Sabbath in the previous verses. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a basis for a claim, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: [I can say those things because] or [Here is why I am able to say such things:]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

ἐστιν & ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Κύριος Γάρ ἐστίν τοῦ Σαββάτου ὁ Υἱός τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου)

Jesus speaks about himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the first person. Alternate translation: [I, who am the Son of Man, am]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

Κύριος & ἐστιν τοῦ Σαββάτου

Lord & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Κύριος Γάρ ἐστίν τοῦ Σαββάτου ὁ Υἱός τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου)

Jesus is using the possessive form to describe a Lord who rules over the Sabbath. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: [has authority over the Sabbath] or [rules over the Sabbath]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

12:8 Jesus is superior to David, the priests, and the Temple. He reigns even over the Sabbath.
