SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 13:32–37: Jesus told his disciples to be ready for his coming

In this section Jesus told his disciples that no one knows the day or hour when he will come in glory. He exhorted his disciples that they should be ready at all times for his coming.

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 told his disciples, “Be ready for me to return”

No one knows when Jesus will return to earth

Jesus’ disciples must watch for his coming

There is a parallel passage for this section in Luke 21:34–36.

13:37a

And what I say to you, I say to everyone:

What I say to you,^(plur) I say to every one of my disciples:
That which I say to you,^(plur) I say to all my followers everywhere:
The words that I say to you,^(plur) it is to all disciples that I say it:

And what I say to you, I say to everyone: Here Jesus returned to the main theme of the paragraph. The main theme is the need to watch, stay ready, and do the tasks that the master has assigned, until he returns.

you: The pronoun you is plural. It refers to the four disciples mentioned in 13:3: Peter, James, John, and Andrew. In some languages it may be necessary to indicate this. For example:

That which I say to you disciples

I say to everyone: The Greek pronoun that the BSB translates as everyone can also be translated as “all,” as in the RSV. This word refers to all present and future disciples of Jesus. You could say:

I say to all my disciples

In the Greek, the word everyone is emphasized. To emphasize it, you could add the word “everywhere.” For example:

I say to all my disciples everywhere

it is not just to you that I say it, I say it to all my disciples

13:37b

Keep watch!”

‘Watch!^(plur)’ ”
‘Be prepared constantly for me/my return!’ ”
‘Be alert all the time for my return from heaven!’ ”

Keep watch!: The form of the Greek word that the BSB translates as Keep watch! indicates that the activity does is not an activity that happens once. The disciples should continually expect the return of Jesus from heaven. They should always be ready for him. You may need to make more of this meaning explicit. For example:

Watch^(plur) continually.

Be alert^(plur) constantly for my return from heaven!

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δὲ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὅ Δέ ὑμῖν λέγω πᾶσιν λέγω γρηγορεῖτε)

Here, the word But introduces a further development of what Jesus has been saying. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a development in what someone is saying, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: [Indeed,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

πᾶσιν

˱to˲_all

Jesus is using the adjective all as a noun to mean all people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [to every person] or [all men and women]
