SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 9:33–37: Jesus told his disciples that they must be humble

A person’s status in society was important in Jewish society. While they traveled to Capernaum, the disciples argued among themselves about which one of them was the highest in status in Jesus’ ministry (9:34).

Some of them probably thought that Peter was highest in status. They based this on his confession and the statements that Jesus made about him (8:28–30; Matthew 16:17–19). James and John may have thought that they themselves should be highest (10:35–40). But a high status often causes a person to become proud. So Jesus showed that being truly humble was the way to become high in status in the society of God’s kingdom.

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

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Greatness in the Kingdom (GW)

Who Is the Greatest? (NIV)

The followers of Jesus must be humble

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 18:1–5 and Luke 9:46–48.

9:36a

Then He had a little child stand among them.

Then He had a little child stand among them: The words that the BSB translates as He had a little child stand literally means “taking a little child, he made him stand.” These words indicate that Jesus led a nearby child into the group of disciples. He did this perhaps by placing his hands on the child’s shoulders or by taking the child by the hand. For example:

He went and led a child among them

The child probably lived in that house. According to Matthew 18:2, Jesus called the child. Your translation should not imply that Jesus went somewhere else to find a child.

had…stand among them: The verb that the BSB translates as had…stand here indicates that Jesus told the child to stay standing in one place. Jesus may have done this with words or gestures.

Here are some other ways to translate this:

put him in the midst of them (RSV)

placed him standing among them

a little child: The Greek word that the BSB translates as a little child refers to a young child, one probably under the age of ten years. Try to use a general term that can refer to either a young boy or a young girl. If you must choose between a boy or girl, you should probably use a word that refers to a young boy.

General Comment on 9:36a

In some languages, it may be more natural to combine the ideas in the phrase “He took a little child” and the phrase “and had him stand among them,” as the BSB does. For example, the CEV says:

Then Jesus had a child stand near him.

9:36b

Taking the child in His arms, He said to them,

Taking the child in His arms: The phrase Taking the child in His arms probably means that Jesus hugged the boy or put his arm or arms around him. This was a way of showing that Jesus loved and valued him.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

He put his arms around the child (GW)

and embraced (NJB)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

(Occurrence -1) αὐτὸ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί λαβών παιδίον ἔστησεν αὐτό ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν καί ἐναγκαλισάμενος αὐτό εἶπεν αὐτοῖς)

Here, the word translated him refers to the child without identifying whether the child was male or female. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: [this child … this child]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν

in ˓the˒_midst ˱of˲_them

The pronoun them refers to the 12 disciples. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state that explicitly in your translation. Alternate translation: [in the midst of his disciples]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

9:33-50 Because the disciples did not understand Jesus’ prediction of his suffering, they were unable to see its implications for their own lives.
