YHN 20:21 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 20:19–23: Jesus appeared to the disciples

This section tells how Jesus showed himself to ten of the disciples that evening. The disciples were in a locked room when Jesus came to them. They were very happy to see him. He told them that he sent them as the Father sent him. Then he breathed on them and invited them to receive the Holy Spirit. He also told them that if they forgave anyone’s sins, they would be forgiven.

Here are other possible section headings:

Jesus showed himself to the disciples

Jesus’ appearance to the disciples

Jesus invited the disciples to receive the Holy Spirit

20:21a

Again Jesus said to them, “Peace be with you.

Jesus again said to them, “May you^(plur) have/enjoy peace.
He greeted them again with the words “I want peace to be yours!^(plur)”

Again Jesus said to them: The Greek words that the BSB translates as Again Jesus said to them introduce something Jesus said a second time to his disciples. He again gave them a blessing of peace.

Peace be with you: Jesus again blessed them with peace. Translate this clause as you did in 20:19d. In some languages it may be natural to adjust the words to indicate that Jesus said this a second time. For example:

Yes, peace be with you! (JBP)

20:21b

As the Father has sent Me, so also I am sending you.”

Just as my Father sent me into the world, I am sending you^(plur) into the world.”
He then said, “I am sending you^(plur) as my messengers to the world just as God my Father, sent me.”

As the Father has sent Me, so also I am sending you: This sentence compares the way that Jesus sent his disciples with the way that the Father had sent him. God had sent Jesus into the world, and now Jesus was sending his disciples into the world. As Jesus was God the Father’s representative in this world, so his disciples would be Jesus’ representatives in the world. See how you translated the similar sentence in 17:18. Here are other ways to translate this sentence:

I am sending you, just as the Father has sent me. (CEV)

Like my Father sent me here, I now send you.

the Father has sent Me: Jesus was referring to the fact that God had sent him to earth as his messenger and representative. If your language must include where a person sends someone, you may add “into the world’ (see 17:18).

so also I am sending you: Jesus was telling his disciples something that he was doing then or possibly would do before long in the future. Again, if your language must tell where a person sends someone, you may add “into the world.” Here is another way to translate this clause:

like that is how I am sending you

General Comment on 20:21b

The Greek words that the BSB translates as “sent” and “sending” are not the same verb. However, the basic meaning is the same, that of someone telling someone else to go somewhere. God sent Jesus into the world to speak his word and be his representative. And Jesus sent his disciples into the world to speak his word, the gospel, and to be his representatives.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

εἰρήνη ὑμῖν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἶπεν Οὖν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς πάλιν Εἰρήνη ὑμῖν καθώς ἀπέσταλκεν μέ ὁ Πατήρ κἀγώ πέμπω ὑμᾶς)

See how you translated Peace to you in the previous verse.

Note 2 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

Πατήρ

Father

Father is an important title for God.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

καθὼς ἀπέσταλκέν με ὁ Πατήρ, κἀγὼ πέμπω ὑμᾶς

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these clauses. Alternate translation: [I send you just as the Father has sent me]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ἀπέσταλκέν με & κἀγὼ πέμπω ὑμᾶς

Jesus is leaving out some of the words that a sentence would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: [has sent me into the world, so I send you into the world]
