SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 8:14–21: Jesus warned his disciples about the Pharisees and Herod

In the previous story, the Pharisees again showed that they did not believe in Jesus. In this story, Jesus warned his disciples about them and about King Herod. He told the disciples to be careful about their “leaven,” or “yeast.” Yeast is a substance that spreads throughout bread dough and causes it to rise.

In this story Jesus used yeast as a metaphor, but the disciples thought he referred to literal yeast. The Jews often spoke of yeast as a figure of speech to refer to any influence that spread rapidly. In this context it is clear that the ways that the Pharisees and King Herod influenced people were harmful. Other Gospels make two of these ways explicit:

  1. In Luke 12:1, the yeast of the Pharisees was hypocrisy.

  2. In Matthew 16:12 the yeast of the Pharisees was their teaching.

In this context the “yeast” of the Pharisees may have been their stubborn refusal to believe in him. The Pharisees had asked Jesus for a sign from God in order to discredit him. Herod also had refused to believe John the Baptist and had ordered his soldiers to kill him. Jesus warned his disciples that they should not be like the Pharisees and King Herod, who did not understand who he was, or believe in him.

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

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Beware of the attitudes of the Pharisees and Herod that spread like yeast

The yeast of the Pharisees and Herod

The disciples did not yet understand what Jesus’ miracles showed about him

There is a parallel passage for this section in Matthew 16:5–11. Luke 12:1 also contains a reference to the yeast of the Pharisees.

8:21

Then He asked them, “Do you still not understand?”

Do you still not understand?: This is a rhetorical question. It expresses a rebuke. Jesus rebuked his disciples because they still did not understand who he really was. There are at least two ways to translate this rebuke.

Use whichever form is most natural to express this rebuke in your language.

understand: The disciples did not understand who Jesus really was. This is implied information. See the note in 8:17c for more information on how to translate understand.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

πῶς οὔπω συνίετε?

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς Πῶς οὔπω συνίετε)

Jesus is using the question form to rebuke his disciples. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. See how you expressed the similar rhetorical question in [8:17](../08/17.md). Alternate translation: [You should understand by now.] or [I am disappointed that you do not yet understand!]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πῶς οὔπω συνίετε?

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς Πῶς οὔπω συνίετε)

Here Jesus is implying that the disciples do not understand who Jesus is and what he can do. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. See how you expressed the similar idea in [8:17](../08/17.md). Alternate translation: [How do you not yet understand who I am and what I can do]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

8:21 Don’t you understand yet? This question implies a time when they would truly understand. Mark’s readers knew that Jesus’ resurrection would give the disciples understanding of Jesus’ identity and power (see, e.g., Acts 4:23-31).
