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.

15:16

“Do you still not understand?” Jesus asked.

Do you still not understand?: This is a rhetorical question. It is a mild rebuke. Jesus rebuked/scolded the disciples because they did not understand the things that he taught. Not only did the crowds not understand his teaching, even his own disciples did not yet understood.

Here are some other ways to translate this rebuke:

Translate this rebuke in a way that is natural in your language.

you: The plural pronoun you is emphasized in the Greek by moving it to the beginning of the clause. It emphasizes the comparison of the disciples with the crowd. If there is a natural way to emphasize this word in your language, you may want to do so.

There is a Greek word before you that the BSB does not translate. It is often translated as “also.” It compares the disciples to the people in the crowd. The crowd did not understand Jesus’ teaching. The disciples also did not understand.

Here are some ways to translate this phrase:

you too

even you

still: The Greek adverb that the BSB translates as still means “up to that time.” Up to that time the disciples had not understood Jesus’ teaching. When Jesus used the word still, he implied that they should have understood it before then.

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

yet (GW)

by now (CEV)

not understand: The Greek word that the BSB translates as not understand also means “senseless” or “foolish.” Jesus implied here that the disciples should have understood what he meant. Jesus did not imply that the disciples were stupid. He implied that they were not using their intelligence to understand spiritual truth.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

do not understand me

are ignorant

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δὲ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ εἶπεν ἀκμήν καί ὑμεῖς ἀσύνετοι Ἐστέ)

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 / rquestion

ἀκμὴν καὶ ὑμεῖς ἀσύνετοί ἐστε

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ εἶπεν ἀκμήν καί ὑμεῖς ἀσύνετοι Ἐστέ)

Jesus is using the question form to rebuke the disciples for how they still do not understand what he is saying. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: [You are still without understanding.] or [I am amazed that you still do not understand!]
