SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 13:9–13: Jesus warned his disciples that people would persecute them

In 13:9–13 Jesus warned his disciples that people would persecute them because they were his followers. They would suffer persecution from their fellow Jews (13:9a–c) and from other people (13:9d–e). He told them to always be prepared for opposition or persecution.

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

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

The disciples must remain firm in their faith

The disciples must follow Christ even if others cause them to suffer for it

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 24:9–14 and Luke 21:12–19.

13:10

And the gospel must first be proclaimed to all the nations.

Furthermore, the good news about me must be preached to people in all nations before the end of the world.
and in all nations you^(plur) and others who believe in me must proclaim the good news to people before the end comes.
And also, before everything ends, people must announce the good news to all tribes/nations in the world.

In 13:9 Mark wrote about the disciples being persecuted. In 13:10 he showed that persecution could give the disciples opportunities to preach the gospel. They would be able to preach not only to the Jews but to all the nations.

And: In Greek this verse begins with the common conjunction that is often translated as And, as in the BSB. Scholars differ about exactly what connection this verse has to the context. However, it is clear that it introduces more information about being witnesses (13:9f). Here are some ways to connect 13:9 and 13:10:

Do not use a conjunction.
Use a general conjunction or another way to introduce additional information. For example:
Furthermore
And also

Connect the verses in a natural way in your language.

the gospel: The Greek word that the BSB translates as gospel means “good news.” In Mark, this word refers to the good news about Jesus Christ and the kingdom of God.

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

good/sweet news

good news about Jesus Christ

good news from God

message/report that causes joy

Be sure that the term you choose does not refer only to a news report or to a story that is not true.

See how you translated this word in Mark 1:1.

must...be proclaimed: This is a passive phrase. In some languages it may be more natural to use an active clause and supply a subject. For example:

my disciples must proclaim/preach

proclaimed: The Greek word that the BSB translates as proclaimed means announced something important. Here it refers specifically to telling the gospel to other people.

Here are some other ways to translate it:

announced

told/spoken

first: In this context, the word first means “before the end.” Jesus mentioned “the end” in 13:7d. The notes on that verse explained that “the end” could refer to both the end of the temple and the end of the world. Therefore you should translate first in a general way. For example:

before the end comes (GNT)

before these things happen (NCV)

all the nations: The phrase all the nations represents the people of all nations. In some languages this may need to be made explicit. For example:

to people in every nation

Even before the destruction of the temple, Paul and others were spreading the gospel to many different ethnic groups. They preached throughout all the world that people knew about at that time (see Romans 16:26 and Colossians 1:6, 23).

nations: The Greek word that the BSB translates as nations refers to “ethnic groups” or “people groups.” In New Testament times it referred to smaller groups than we think of today when we use the English word nations.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πρῶτον

first

Here Jesus implies that what he describes in this verse will happen before the “end” he referred to in [13:7](../13/07.md). As in [13:7](../13/07.md), here Jesus could be referring to: (1) the end of the temple, which Jesus had predicted in [13:2](../13/02.md). Alternate translation: [before the end of the temple] or [before what I have predicted about the temple happens] (2) the end of the age, which he will say more about later in his teaching. Alternate translation: [before the end of the world] or [before the current way of doing things ceases]

Note 2 topic: translate-ordinal

πρῶτον

first

If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you could use a cardinal number here or an equivalent expression. Make sure that your translation fits with the interpretation you chose in the previous note. Alternate translation: [prior to what I have predicted] or [prior to the end]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

κηρυχθῆναι τὸ εὐαγγέλιον

˓to_be˒_proclaimed (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί εἰς παντᾶ τά ἔθνη πρῶτον δεῖ κηρυχθῆναι τό εὐαγγέλιον)

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you must state who did the action, Jesus implies that believers will be the ones who proclaim the gospel. Alternate translation: [believers to proclaim the gospel] or [people to proclaim the gospel]
