SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 5:1–7:29: Jesus preached a sermon on a mountain

For many years, English versions and Christians have commonly referred to Matthew 5–7 as “The Sermon on the Mount.” In some translations, it may be helpful to include a heading for chapters 5–7 that is on a level above the section heading for 5:1–12.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

The Sermon on the Mountain

The sermon that Jesus preached on a mountain

Jesus taught people on the side of a mountain/hill

Paragraph 5:1–2

This paragraph describes the setting for the entire Sermon on the Mount in chapters 5–7.

5:2

and He began to teach them, saying:

and He began to teach them, saying: The Greek clause that the BSB translates as He began to teach them is literally “he opened his mouth” (as in the ESV). The phrase is an idiom. This idiom means “he began.”

The verses that follow are the things Jesus taught. Your translation should clearly indicate that. For example:

Then he began to speak. This is what he taught them: (NJB)

he opened his mouth and taught them, saying: (ESV)

them: The pronoun them refers to the disciples. Other people came later to listen. But in the beginning, Jesus’ primary audience was his disciples.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἀνοίξας τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ

˓having˒_opened_up (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἀνοίξας τό στόμα αὐτοῦ ἐδίδασκεν αὐτούς λέγων)

Here, the phrase having opened his mouth refers to beginning to speak. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [having begun to speak]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

ἀνοίξας τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ, ἐδίδασκεν

˓having˒_opened_up (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἀνοίξας τό στόμα αὐτοῦ ἐδίδασκεν αὐτούς λέγων)

Here, the phrase having opened his mouth introduces what Jesus said, and the phrase he taught also introduces what Jesus said. Matthew uses both phrases to indicate that what Jesus is about to say is very important. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use just one phrase that introduces important speech. Alternate translation: [he starting teaching]

Note 3 topic: writing-quotations

λέγων

saying

Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: [and he declared]
