SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 10:13–16: Jesus blessed little children

Some people brought their children for Jesus to bless them. The disciples probably thought that Jesus was too important to bless children. So they prevented the people from bringing the children. But Jesus wanted to bless them. He allowed the children to come to him.

Jesus used the things that happened with these children to teach that God accepts people who are humble. The people whom God rules should be like little children: they should humbly accept God’s rule in their lives.

It is good to translate this section before you decide on a heading for it.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Jesus and Little Children (NET)

Some little children were brought to Jesus

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 19:13–15 and Luke 18:15–17.

10:16a

And He took the children in His arms,

Then/And he put his arms around the children,
After he said that, Jesus hugged each of the children.

And: The Greek word that the BSB here translates as And introduces what Jesus did after he finished speaking in 10:15. The CEV translates it as:

Then

Connect this verse to 10:15 in a way that is natural in your language.

He took the children in His arms: The expression took…in His arms indicates that Jesus put his arm or arms around the each of the children or gave them a hug.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

Jesus put his arms around the children (GW)

Then he embraced them (NJB)

See how you translated the same verb in 9:36b.

10:16b

placed His hands on them, and blessed them.

placed his hands on each of them and blessed them. (GNT)
He put his hands on each of their heads in turn, and asked God to show them kindness.

The form of the Greek verbs used here indicates that Jesus did these things to each of the children in turn. He did not put his hands on all the children and bless them at the same time.

placed His hands on them: The expression placed His hands on them probably indicates that Jesus touched the head of each child in turn.

Here are some other ways to translate this expression:

placed his hands on each of them (GNT)

put his hands on each of their heads in turn

blessed them: The phrase blessed them here means that Jesus asked God to do good to the children.

Here are some other ways to translate this:

asked God to bless them

asked God to show kindness to them

In some languages it may be natural to use a direct quote here. For example:

said to God, “Bless this child.”

See bless, Meaning 1, in the Glossary.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-symaction

τιθεὶς τὰς χεῖρας ἐπ’ αὐτά

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἐναγκαλισάμενος αὐτά κατευλόγει τιθείς τάς χεῖρας ἐπʼ αὐτά)

In Mark’s culture, when Jesus placed his hands on the little children, that expressed God’s love for them and conveyed God’s blessing to them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could refer to a similar action from your culture, or you could explain what having laid his hands on them means. See how you translated “touch them” in [10:13](../10/13.md). Alternate translation: [stretching out his hands toward them] or [which he did by placing his hands on them]
