SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 3:13–19: Jesus chose twelve apostles

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 chose twelve special men

Jesus appointed the apostles

Jesus named twelve men to be his apostles

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 10:1–4 and Luke 6:12–16.

3:17a

James son of Zebedee and his brother John

James son of Zebedee and his brother John: James is mentioned first, so he was probably the older of the two brothers. James, John, and Zebedee were previously mentioned in 1:19–20.

son of Zebedee: Zebedee was the name of the father of both James and John.

In languages where there is no single word for son, many translators have used a more general expression, such as “child.”

3:17b

(whom He named Boanerges, meaning “Sons of Thunder”),

whom He named Boanerges: The Greek clause that the BSB translates as whom He named refers to Jesus’ description of the character of James and John. The Greek is almost identical to the clause “to whom he gave the name” in 3:16b. Unlike the name “Peter,” which is used throughout the New Testament, the term Boanerges is not referred to anywhere else in the New Testament.

The CEV has another way to translate this:

Jesus called them Boanerges (CEV)

Boanerges: Boanerges was a word in the language that Jesus and his disciples spoke. You should write this word according to the sounds of your language.The first part of the name Boanerges is clearly Aramaic and means “sons of,” but the last part could refer to the Aramaic word for “crowd/commotion” or “anger.” Another possibility is that the last part refers to a similar word in Arabic which means “Thunder”. Regardless of the origin, Mark obviously understood this to mean “Sons of Thunder.”

meaning “Sons of Thunder”: The idiom Sons of refers to one of the characteristics of James and John. Jesus was saying that they were “Thunder-like.” Scholars are not certain in what way James and John were like thunder.

Here are some other ways to translate this:

this means “Sons of Thunder”

which means “Men of Thunder” (GNT)

this means that they were like thunder

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-kinship

τὸν ἀδελφὸν τοῦ Ἰακώβου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί Ἰάκωβον τόν τοῦ Ζεβεδαίου καί Ἰωάννην τόν ἀδελφόν τοῦ Ἰακώβου καί ἐπέθηκεν αὐτοῖς ὀνόματα Βοανηργές ὅ ἐστίν Υἱοί Βροντῆς)

Mark never says whether James or John was older, but he mentions James first, which could imply that he was the older brother. If you have to use a form that refers to an older or younger brother, you could state that John was younger. Alternate translation: [the younger brother of James]

Note 2 topic: translate-transliterate

Βοανηργές

Boanerges

The word Boanerges is a Hebrew word. Mark has spelled it out using Greek letters so his readers would know how it sounded. Since Mark states what this word means at the end of the verse, you also should spell it out the way it sounds in your language.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

υἱοὶ βροντῆς

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί Ἰάκωβον τόν τοῦ Ζεβεδαίου καί Ἰωάννην τόν ἀδελφόν τοῦ Ἰακώβου καί ἐπέθηκεν αὐτοῖς ὀνόματα Βοανηργές ὅ ἐστίν Υἱοί Βροντῆς)

The expression Sons of describes people who shares the qualities of something. In this case, the name indicates that James and John share the qualities of Thunder. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [People Like Thunder] or [Thunder-Like]
