SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 14:12–21: Jesus celebrated the Passover Festival with his disciples

In the previous section, 14:10–11, Judas began to look for a way to betray Jesus. In this section, Jesus and his disciples celebrated the Passover Festival together. People often celebrated the Festival of Passover with their families. Jesus celebrated it with his twelve closest disciples.

Normally, a teacher’s disciples prepared the celebration. But on this occasion Jesus had already arranged for a place to eat and for the food. Then he sent two of his disciples to make the final preparations. That evening as they were eating the Passover meal, Jesus told them that one of them would betray him.

Scholars have different views about when Jesus ate the Passover feast, but these views will probably not affect the way you translate the verses.

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 the disciples celebrated the Passover

Jesus Eats the Passover Meal with His Disciples (GNT)

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 26:17–25, Luke 22:7–14, and John 13:21–30.

Paragraph 14:17–21

This paragraph describes the final meal that Jesus ate with his twelve disciples before he died. At this meal, Jesus revealed that one of the twelve would betray him. He knew that Judas was the person who would betray him, but none of the other disciples knew.

In Middle Eastern culture, when a man eats a meal with another man, he must not then turn against him and harm him. But Judas did that. He behaved as though Jesus were his friend and then deliberately betrayed him. Jesus warned that Judas would be judged for what he did (14:21).

14:17a

When evening came,

¶ When it was dark,
¶ That evening,

When evening came: The phrase When evening came refers to sometime after sunset. It was the custom of the Jews to eat the Passover meal at night. It is good to use a general term in your language that refers to a time after dark.

Here are some other ways to translate the beginning of this paragraph:

That evening

When it was dark

After the sun had set

14:17b

Jesus arrived with the Twelve.

Jesus arrived there with the twelve disciples.
Jesus came into the city and arrived at the place to eat the feast with his twelve followers.

Jesus arrived with the Twelve: The word arrived indicates that Jesus and the disciples came to the place where they would eat the Passover meal.

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

arrived there

arrived at the house

came into the city and arrived at the place to eat the feast

the Twelve: The phrase the Twelve refers to Jesus’ twelve closest disciples. It includes the two disciples who made the preparations in 14:13–16. See how you translated this term in 14:10a.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἔρχεται μετὰ τῶν δώδεκα

˱he˲_˓is˒_coming (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ὀψίας γενομένης ἔρχεται μετά τῶν δώδεκα)

Here Mark implies that Jesus and the Twelve came to the room in the house in Jerusalem. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [he comes with the Twelve to the house]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἔρχεται

˱he˲_˓is˒_coming

In a context such as this, your language might say “goes” instead of comes. Alternate translation: [he goes]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

τῶν δώδεκα

the twelve

See how you translated the phrase the Twelve in 3:16. Alternate translation: [the 12 apostles] or [the 12 men whom he had chosen to be apostles]
