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 7:28–29

Verses 7:28–29 refer to what happened immediately after Jesus finished the Sermon on the Mount.

A few English versions have a section heading here. Usually a section includes more than two verses. But you may want to have a new section here for the new topic.

Here are some possible headings for this section:

The crowds were amazed at his teaching

The Authority of Jesus (GNT)

Jesus’ teaching has authority

7:29a

because He taught as one who had authority,

because: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as because introduces the reason why the crowds were amazed at what he taught.

Here are some other ways to translate this conjunction:

for (ESV)

the reason they were amazed is that

He taught as one who had authority: The words had authority refers to having the right and the power to do something. Jesus taught with confidence. He did not quote what other experts had to say about the Bible.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

he taught with real authority (NLT)

he taught as someone with the right to teach

he taught with power

7:29b

and not as their scribes.

and not as their scribes: The phrase not as their scribes indicates that Jesus did not teach in the same way that the scribes taught. When the scribes explained something, they always quoted other scholars to support their views. But Jesus did not quote other Jewish teachers to support the truth of what he said.

scribes: The Greek word that the BSB translates as scribes refers to men who studied, interpreted, and taught the law of Moses. These men were called scribes because their original work was to copy the laws of Moses by hand. In New Testament times, this was no longer their main task.

Here are some other ways to translate this term:

teachers of the law (NIV)

teachers of the Law of Moses (CEV)

teachers of religious law (NLT)

experts in the law

This word also occurs in 5:20. You should translate it here as you did there. See also scribe in the Glossary for more information.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἦν γάρ διδάσκων αὐτούς ὡς ἐξουσίαν ἔχων καί οὐχ ὡς οἱ γραμματεῖς αὐτῶν)

Here, the word for introduces the reason why “the crowds were astonished by his teaching” ([7:28](../07/28.md)). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a reason, or you could leave for untranslated. Alternate translation: [since]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐξουσίαν ἔχων

authority having

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of authority, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [one having been authorized]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

οὐχ ὡς οἱ γραμματεῖς αὐτῶν

not as the scribes ˱of˲_them

Matthew 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: [not as their scribes taught them]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

7:28-29 Jesus began teaching only his disciples (5:1), but crowds had followed up the mountainside as well.
• Unlike the teachers of religious law, whose authority was derived from the Scriptures they quoted or from the teachings of previous scholars, Jesus taught with real—that is, direct—authority. He quoted Scripture in the Sermon, but his teaching was based on his own authority as the Messiah.
