SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 15:1–20: The deeds that make someone unclean in God’s eyes

Over the years, Jewish religious leaders added many oral rules to God’s written laws. The Pharisees and teachers of the law considered these oral rules (also called traditions) to be as important as God’s written laws. One of their rules was that a person must wash his hands a certain way before he ate food. If a Jew did not follow this rule before he ate, they considered him ceremonially “unclean.” This meant that they did not allow him to worship God in public for a certain amount of time. Jesus made it clear that there was something far more important than how a person washed his hands. The important thing was the condition of his heart.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Jesus Challenges the Pharisees’ Traditions (GW)

Jesus Teaches about Inner Purity/Cleanliness

There are parallel passages for this section in Mark 7:1–23 and Luke 11:37–39.

15:13

But Jesus replied, “Every plant that My heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by its roots.

Every plant that My heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by its roots: The Greek word that the BSB translates as pulled up by its roots refers to pulling a plant, including its roots, out of the soil. When this is done, the plant cannot regrow. It is destroyed.

This sentence is a metaphor. In this metaphor, Jesus compared:

  1. God to a farmer

  2. the Pharisees to plants/weeds that the farmer had not planted and that were not part of his garden/farm

  3. eternal punishment to uprooting those plants.

A farmer uproots plants/weeds that he has not planted. These plants do not belong in his garden/farm. In the same way, God will judge and destroy all who do not belong in his kingdom.

The Jews considered their nation to be a plant that God had planted (as in Isaiah 60:21). Jesus used this metaphor to show that many of the Pharisees were not truly God’s people.

Here are some other ways to translate this metaphor:

will be pulled up by its roots: The clause is passive. Here are some ways to translate it:

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δὲ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ ἀποκριθείς εἶπεν Πάσα φυτεία ἥν οὐκ ἐφύτευσεν ὁ Πατήρ μού ὁ οὐράνιος ἐκριζωθήσεται)

Here, the word But introduces the next thing that happened. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next event, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: [Then]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

πᾶσα φυτεία ἣν οὐκ ἐφύτευσεν ὁ Πατήρ μου ὁ οὐράνιος ἐκριζωθήσεται

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ ἀποκριθείς εἶπεν Πάσα φυτεία ἥν οὐκ ἐφύτευσεν ὁ Πατήρ μού ὁ οὐράνιος ἐκριζωθήσεται)

Here Jesus speaks of the Pharisees who were offended by him as if they were plants that God did not plant. He means that they are not serving God. Then Jesus speaks of God’s punishment as if he would uproot these plants. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in simile form or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Those Pharisees are like plants that my heavenly Father will uproot because he did not plant them] or [Those Pharisees will be punished by my heavenly Father because they have not obeyed him]

Note 3 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

ὁ Πατήρ μου ὁ οὐράνιος

he the Father the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ ἀποκριθείς εἶπεν Πάσα φυτεία ἥν οὐκ ἐφύτευσεν ὁ Πατήρ μού ὁ οὐράνιος ἐκριζωθήσεται)

Father is an important title that describes the relationship between God the Father and Jesus his Son.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐκριζωθήσεται

˓will_be_being˒_uprooted

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. If you need to say who does the action, it is clear from the context that it is God. Alternate translation: [he will uproot]
