OET (OET-LV) And he_commanded to_them that they_may_be_taking_away nothing for journey, except only not/lest a_staff, not bread, not a_knapsack, not money in the belt,

OET (OET-RV) He insisted that they can carry a walking stick but not to take food, a backpack, or money.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 6:6b–13: Jesus sent the twelve apostles to different towns to preach and heal people

In this section Mark wrote that Jesus began to go around to various Jewish villages in order to teach the people. He also sent out his twelve apostles two by two into the villages. Jesus gave the apostles authority over evil spirits, and he gave them instructions for their journey. The apostles went out and preached that people should repent. They cast out demons and healed sick people.

The NIV starts a new section and paragraph at 6:6b. Some translations, such as the NASB and BSB, start the new section at 6:7. If you decide to do this, you should still make 6:6b a separate paragraph.

Here is another possible heading for this section:

Jesus Sends Out the Twelve (NIV)

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 9:35; 10:5–15; Luke 8:1; 9:1–6.

6:8a

He instructed them

He instructed them: The Greek clause that the BSB translates as He instructed them is literally “He ordered them” (as in the NRSV). The CEV has another way to translate this:

He told them

General Comment on 6:7–8a

Jesus gave his twelve disciples instructions before he sent them out (6:7b). You may want to change the order of 6:7a–c so that the events are in the order in which they occurred. If that is true, here is one way you could connect 6:7a–c with 6:8a:

7aHe called the twelve to come to him 7cand gave them authority over evil spirits. 7bThen he sent them out in groups of two 8awith these instructions: 8bTake…

6:8b

to take nothing but a staff for the journey—

to take nothing but: The expression nothing but can also be translated as “only.” For example:

Take only

The twelve disciples were to take very little with them when they went to the villages.

a staff: The word staff refers to a stick which a person could use to help him walk in difficult places. He also used it to protect himself against animals and snakes. The GNT has another way to say this:

a walking stick

for the journey: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as for the journey is literally “on the road.” This implies that they would be traveling. This phrase makes it clear that Jesus “sent them out” (6:7b) to travel a distance from where they were. In 6:10 it becomes clear that the disciples would need a place to stay (sleep, eat) in the villages to which Jesus sent them. This could be because the villages were far away, or because they stayed there for a long time.

The NCV has another way to say this:

for your trip

6:8c

no bread, no bag, no money in their belts—

no bread, no bag, no money in their belts: It may be necessary to repeat the verb “take” (6:8b) here. For example:

Take no bread…

But do not take bread or…

bread: The word bread refers to the main food of the Jewish people. If the people for whom you are translating do not eat bread, you could translate this as “food” (as in the CEV).

bag: The Greek word that the BSB translates as bag could mean either of two things:

  1. A traveler’s bag or sack. Such a bag was used to carry things that people needed on a trip.

  2. A beggar’s bag. This kind of bag was used to carry food or money that people gave to beggars.

Many English versions use a general word, and it is recommended that you also do this. If there is no general word for bag, choose something close to meaning (a).

money in their belts: Jews typically carried their money in cloth belts that they wrapped around their waist. Some ways to translate this are:

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-exceptions

μηδὲν αἴρωσιν εἰς ὁδὸν, εἰ μὴ ῥάβδον μόνον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί παρήγγειλεν αὐτοῖς ἵνα μηδέν αἴρωσιν εἰς ὁδόν εἰ μή ῥάβδον μόνον μή ἄρτον μή πήραν μή εἰς τήν ζώνην χαλκόν)

If, in your language, it would appear that Mark was making a statement here and then contradicting it, you could reword this to avoid using an exception clause. Alternate translation: [the only thing they should take for the road was a staff]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ὁδὸν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί παρήγγειλεν αὐτοῖς ἵνα μηδέν αἴρωσιν εἰς ὁδόν εἰ μή ῥάβδον μόνον μή ἄρτον μή πήραν μή εἰς τήν ζώνην χαλκόν)

Here, road represents a journey. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the journey]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

μὴ ἄρτον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί παρήγγειλεν αὐτοῖς ἵνα μηδέν αἴρωσιν εἰς ὁδόν εἰ μή ῥάβδον μόνον μή ἄρτον μή πήραν μή εἰς τήν ζώνην χαλκόν)

Mark is using bread to represent any food. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [nothing to eat]

Note 4 topic: translate-unknown

πήραν

˓a˒_knapsack

The term bag means something a traveler would use to carry things that were needed on a journey. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of container, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: [knapsack]

Note 5 topic: translate-unknown

εἰς τὴν ζώνην

for in (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί παρήγγειλεν αὐτοῖς ἵνα μηδέν αἴρωσιν εἰς ὁδόν εἰ μή ῥάβδον μόνον μή ἄρτον μή πήραν μή εἰς τήν ζώνην χαλκόν)

In Jesus’ culture, people would often wrap their money up in long strips of cloth and then tie them around their waists as belts. This was a way to keep the money safe while the people were traveling. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: [in their money bag] or [to have with you as you travel]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

τὴν ζώνην

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί παρήγγειλεν αὐτοῖς ἵνα μηδέν αἴρωσιν εἰς ὁδόν εἰ μή ῥάβδον μόνον μή ἄρτον μή πήραν μή εἰς τήν ζώνην χαλκόν)

The word belt represents belts in general, not one particular belt. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: [their belts]

OET (OET-LV) And he_commanded to_them that they_may_be_taking_away nothing for journey, except only not/lest a_staff, not bread, not a_knapsack, not money in the belt,

OET (OET-RV) He insisted that they can carry a walking stick but not to take food, a backpack, or money.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.

Acknowledgements: The SR Greek text, lemmas, morphology, and VLT gloss are all thanks to the CNTR.
