SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 10:35–45: James and John asked Jesus for great honor in his kingdom

In this section, Jesus taught his disciples that they should serve other people. They should not expect other people to honor them. James and John asked for special honor in Jesus’ kingdom. The other disciples became angry that James and John asked for that honor. Jesus responded by teaching them all how his followers should act. They should serve others rather than try to rule over them. Jesus said that even he himself came to serve others and to sacrifice himself for them.

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 Teaches about Serving Others (NLT)

The Places Of Honor In God’s Kingdom (TRT)

What James and John requested

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 20:20–28 and Luke 22:24–27.

10:44

and whoever wants to be first must be the slave of all.

and: In most English versions, the parallel clauses in 10:43b and 10:44 are joined with the word and. In some languages a word like and may not be appropriate to join two statements with very similar meanings. Connect these statements in a natural way in your language.

Here are some other connectors that could be used here:

yes

indeed

in fact

whoever wants to be first: The Greek word that the BSB translates literally as first here means “the leader of all the others.” It is a more emphatic term than the word that is translated as “great” in 10:43b.

must be the slave of all: Jesus was saying that a disciple who wants to be the leader must serve all the others like a slave. He did not mean that his disciples should literally become slaves. But they should have a humble attitude and be willing to serve others as slaves do.

Here are some other ways to translate this:

must be like a servant for everyone

must serve all his companions

slave: The word slave refers to someone who was owned by another person. He worked for his owner/master without receiving pay. He had no rights of his own (or very few rights).

In some cultures, slaves may not be known. In other cultures, the word for slave may imply different customs than in biblical culture. If that is true in your language, some ways to translate this are:

person who belonged to someone else

owned person

person who serves someone

worker/servant

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

ὑμῖν

you_all

Because Jesus is speaking to the disciples, the word you here is plural.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

πρῶτος

first

Here, Jesus is speaking of being important or respected as if it were being first. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. See how you translated this word in [9:35](../09/35.md). Alternate translation: [respected] or [significant]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative

ἔσται

will_be

Jesus is using the future form to give a command. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea using a form that expresses a command or obligation. See how you translated the similar form in [9:35](../09/35.md). Alternate translation: [should be] or [has to be]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

ἔσται πάντων δοῦλος

will_be ˱of˲_all slave

Jesus speaks of being a slave to emphasize the great effort Jesus’ followers should make to serve others. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language that shows service, or you could clarify that Jesus is teaching that his followers must act in a way that is similar to slaves in their service to others. Alternate translation: [will dedicate himself or herself to serve all] or [will work hard at helping all]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

πάντων

˱of˲_all

Jesus is using the adjective all as a noun to mean all the other disciples. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [of all the other disciples] or [the rest of the disciples]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

10:35-45 Following Jesus’ third prediction of his suffering (10:32-33) comes another example of the disciples’ failure (see 8:31-33; 9:31-34). The first part of the account involves the foolish request of James and John (10:35-37) and Jesus’ reply to them (10:38-40). Then Jesus explains to the other disciples what greatness and leadership in the Kingdom of God mean (10:41-44). Jesus’ own supreme example of servanthood (10:45) illustrates and concludes this account.
