SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 8:27–30: Peter declared that Jesus is the Christ

After Jesus healed the blind man in Bethsaida, he and his disciples left the region of Galilee and traveled north. They went to the towns around the city of Caesarea Philippi, which was near the northern border of Israel.

As they were traveling, Jesus asked his disciples what people were saying about who he was. This question concerned his spiritual identity; that is, whether God had sent him and what his mission was. He then asked the disciples what they themselves thought about him. Peter replied that Jesus was the Christ, the Messiah. Jesus then ordered them not to tell others who he was.

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

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Peter’s declaration that Jesus is the Christ

Peter believes that Jesus is the Christ

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 16:13–16 and Luke 9:18–21.

8:29a

“But what about you?” Jesus asked.

8:29b

“Who do you say I am?”

8:29a–b

In this verse Jesus asked his disciples to tell him their own beliefs about who he was.

But what about you?…Who do you say I am?: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as But what about you?…Who do you say I am? is more literally “But you,(plur) who do you(plur) say I am?” The pronoun you is repeated for emphasis. It emphasizes the difference between the people’s opinions and the disciples’ opinions.

Here are some other ways to translate this emphasis:

But you,…who do you say I am? (NJB)

But who do you yourselves say I am?

say: Here the word say again means “think” or “believe.” See the note on say at 8:27d.

Jesus asked: The BSB has placed the phrase Jesus asked in the middle of Jesus’ question to his disciples. In the Greek text it comes before the speech begins. Place it where it is most natural in your language.

8:29c

Peter answered, “You are the Christ.”

the Christ: The phrase the Christ is used here as a title. It is not just one of Jesus’ names. The Jews used this title to refer to the special person whom God had appointed and promised to send as king and savior. The title the Christ is the Greek translation of the Hebrew title “the Messiah,” and the two titles have the same meaning.

Here are some other ways to translate the Christ:

If you do not indicate the meaning of the Christ in the text, you may want to include a footnote to explain the meaning of the Christ. Or you may want to explain the meaning in a glossary. For example:

The title “the Christ” refers to the King and Savior whom God had promised to send.

See also Christ in the Glossary.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

ὑμεῖς & σὺ

you_all & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί αὐτός ἐπηρώτα αὐτούς ὑμεῖς Δέ τίνα μέ λέγετε εἶναι ἀποκριθείς Δέ ὁ Πέτρος λέγει αὐτῷ Σύ εἶ ὁ Χριστός)

Because Jesus is speaking to the disciples, the word you in the phrase who do you say is plural. Because Peter is speaking to Jesus, the word You in the clause You are the Christ is singular.
