SOTN SIL Open Translation Notes:

Section 16:16–24 The disciples’ sadness would become joy

Jesus told his disciples that soon they would not see him, but then a little later they would see him again. The disciples did not understand, so Jesus explained, comparing what would happen to a woman giving birth. She has much pain while giving birth, but the pain becomes joy after her baby is born. Soon the pain of Jesus’ leaving would become joy. At that time they would be able to ask God the Father their requests in Jesus’ name. God would give their requests and their joy would be complete.

Here are some other possible section headings:

The disciples will be sad for a short while, but then joyful

The disciples would not see Jesus for a while, but then would see him again

Paragraph 16:19–22

Jesus answered his disciples that the sorrow they had would become joy when they saw him again. He compared it to a woman’s pain while she gives birth becoming joy when her baby is born.

16:22a

So also you have sorrow now,

That is what it will be like for you^(plur). Now you suffer,
In the same way, you^(plur) are now in distress,

So also you have sorrow now: After the illustration about a woman giving birth in 16:21, this verse explains the point of the illustration. The disciples also have pain, but like the pregnant woman, they will also rejoice later. This clause begins to compare the illustration of the woman to the disciples. Begin the comparison in a way that is natural in your language. For example:

So with you: Now is your time of grief (NIV)

So it is with you: you are sad now (NJB)

It is the same with you. Now you are sad (NCV)

you have sorrow: This phrase refers to the emotional pain that the disciples felt knowing that Jesus would soon leave them. For example:

You are now very sad. (CEV)

you too have grief now (NASB)

you: The Greek text emphasizes this pronoun. That emphasizes the change in subject from the woman giving birth to the disciples. If your language indicates a change in subject, you will want to indicate it here. For example:

That is how it is with you: now you are sad (GNT)

It is the same with you because now you are sad.

16:22b

but I will see you again and your hearts will rejoice,

but I will see you^(plur) again, and then you will have joy.
but when we^(incl) see each other again, you will be joyful.

but: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as but introduces a contrast between the situation then and the future situation. The disciples were sad then knowing that Jesus would leave, but soon they would see him again and be happy.

I will see you again: This clause refers to the time when Jesus would rise from the dead. He would see the disciples, and they would see him, and this would make them happy. It is only implied that the disciples would see Jesus. In some languages it is more natural to make that information more explicit. For example:

we will see each other again

and your hearts will rejoice: This clause indicates that the disciples would feel great joy. It is implied that they would be joyful after Jesus’ resurrection. Some English translations leave this information implied, while others make it more explicit. For example:

I will see you again and your hearts will be filled with gladness. (GNT)

I will see you again. Then you will be happy (GW)

You^(plur) will rejoice because I will see you again

16:22c

and no one will take away your joy.

No one will be able to stop your^(plur) rejoicing.
And no one can destroy that joy/gladness.
And no one will make you sad.

and no one will take away your joy: This clause indicates that no one will be able to stop the disciples from rejoicing.There is a textual issue here:(1) Some Greek manuscripts have a future tense verb, will take. For example:no one will take your joy from you (RSV)(BSB, ESV, NASB, RSV, NRSV, NIV, CEV, GW, NET, REB, NCV, NJB)(2) Some Greek manuscripts have a present tense verb, “takes.” For example:the kind of gladness that no one can take away from you (GNT)(KJV, NLT, GNT)It is recommended that you use the tense that is most natural in your language in this context. No one will be able to prevent them from being joyful once they see Jesus again. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

no one can rob you of that joy (NLT)

and that joy no one shall take from you (NJB)

no one will be able to stop you being glad

Jesus’ Arrest, Trial, Crucifixion, and Burial

Matthew 26-27; Mark 14-15; Luke 22-23; John 13-19

On the Thursday before he was crucified, Jesus had arranged to share the Passover meal with his disciples in an upper room, traditionally thought to be located in the Essene Quarter of Jerusalem. After they finished the meal, they went to the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus often met with his disciples. There Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus’ own disciples, betrayed him to soldiers sent from the High Priest, and they took Jesus to the High Priest’s residence. In the morning the leading priests and teachers of the law put Jesus on trial and found him guilty of blasphemy. The council sent Jesus to stand trial for treason before the Roman governor Pontius Pilate, who resided at the Praetorium while in Jerusalem. The Praetorium was likely located at the former residence of Herod the Great, who had died over 30 years earlier. When Pilate learned that Jesus was from Galilee, he sent him to Herod Antipas, who had jurisdiction over Galilee. But when Jesus gave no answer to Herod’s many questions, Herod and his soldiers sent him back to Pilate, who conceded to the people’s demands that Jesus be crucified. Jesus was forced to carry his cross out of the city gate to Golgotha, meaning Skull Hill, referring to what may have been a small unquarried hill in the middle of an old quarry just outside the gate. After Jesus was unable to carry his cross any further, a man named Simon from Cyrene was forced to carry it for him. There at Golgotha they crucified Jesus. After Jesus died, his body was hurriedly taken down before nightfall and placed in a newly cut, rock tomb owned by Joseph of Arimathea, a member of the Jewish high council. This tomb was likely located at the perimeter of the old quarry.
