SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 19:16–30: Jesus taught about entering the kingdom of heaven

In this section, a young man asked Jesus what he must do to get eternal life. Jesus gave him a standard answer, which was to obey God’s commands.

The young man apparently felt that this was not enough and asked what else he should do (19:20). Then Jesus told him to sell his possessions, give the money to the poor, and follow him. The young man was rich, and he was not willing to sell his things. So he left.

Jesus then used the rich young man as an example. He explained that riches make it difficult to enter the kingdom (19:23–24). The saying of a camel going through the eye of a needle was probably a well-known proverb about something impossible to do. Without God making it possible, neither a rich person nor anyone else is able to enter the kingdom (19:26).

Jesus also gave a promise that those whom he asked to leave their possessions and family behind to serve him would receive great rewards (19:29).

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

The Rich Young Man (NIV)

A rich young man’s questions

There are parallel passages for this section in Mark 10:17–31 and Luke 18:18–30.

19:30a

But many who are first will be last,

But: There is some contrast here between two types of people. The people who leave their possessions and family for Jesus’ sake are contrasted with the people who are first in this world. The BSB indicates this contrast with the word But.

many who are first will be last: In this context, the Greek word that the BSB translates as first means “most important.” The Greek word that the BSB translates as last means “least important.”

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

many who are high/great now will become low/humble

many people who are big now will be small in the future

many people who are respected much now will be respected little in the future

Many who have the highest place now will have the lowest place in the future (NCV)

19:30b

and the last will be first.

and the last will be first: Some words are implied but not repeated here. The complete clause would be:

and many people who are last will be first

Here are some other ways to translate these words:

many who are low/humble now will become high/great

many people who are small now will be big in the future

many people who are respected little now will be respected much in the future

many who have the lowest place now will have the highest place in the future (NCV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δὲ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: πολλοί Δέ ἔσονται πρῶτοι ἔσχατοι καί ἔσχατοι πρῶτοι)

The word But introduces the next thing that Jesus wants to say. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next thing, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: [Yes,] or [Indeed,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

πολλοὶ & ἔσονται πρῶτοι ἔσχατοι, καὶ ἔσχατοι πρῶτοι

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: πολλοί Δέ ἔσονται πρῶτοι ἔσχατοι καί ἔσχατοι πρῶτοι)

Here, Jesus is speaking of important or respected people as if they were first and of unimportant or non-respected people as if they were last. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [many respected will be non-respected, and non-respected, respected] or [many significant will be insignificant, and insignificant, significant]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

πρῶτοι & καὶ ἔσχατοι

˓the˒_first & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: πολλοί Δέ ἔσονται πρῶτοι ἔσχατοι καί ἔσχατοι πρῶτοι)

Jesus is using the adjectives first and last as nouns to mean first and last people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate these words with equivalent phrases. Alternate translation: [first people … and last people] or [people who are first … and people who are last]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

καὶ ἔσχατοι πρῶτοι

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: πολλοί Δέ ἔσονται πρῶτοι ἔσχατοι καί ἔσχατοι πρῶτοι)

Jesus is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [and many last will be first]
