SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 10:25–37: Jesus told a story to show us who our neighbors are

One day as Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem, he stopped to teach people. An expert in the Jewish law was there and asked him a question. The expert asked what he should do to obtain eternal life. He and Jesus discussed this question and agreed that a person must love God and love his neighbor. Then the expert asked Jesus, “Who is my neighbor?” Jesus answered him with a story that was a parable.

In the story robbers attacked a man and left him bleeding on a road. Two Jewish religious leaders passed the man without helping him. Then a man from the province of Samaria came and helped the man. People from Samaria were called Samaritans. The Jews despised Samaritans, so Jesus’ story surprised the Jews.

The person who treated the injured man with love, as a neighbor should, was a Samaritan. The Jewish religious leaders did not show love to the man. Most Jews considered only their fellow Jews to be their neighbors, but by this parable Jesus taught that all human beings are neighbors. We must love every other human being.

Some other possible section headings are:

The parable about the good foreigner

Who is my neighbor?

The Good Samaritan

Luke is the only gospel writer who includes this parable.

Paragraph 10:30–35

Jesus told the story in this paragraph in order to teach people what the Law meant by the command to love our neighbors. Most scholars think that this story probably did not really happen. If you must distinguish in your language between events that actually happened and fictional stories, you can indicate that it is a fictional story.

10:35a

The next day he took out two denarii

Then the next day the Samaritan took out two coins made of silver
In the morning the Samaritan went to the manager/owner of the place/house. He took from his bag two pieces of money

The next day: In some languages it may be necessary to make explicit that the Samaritan and the other man stayed at the inn that night:

They slept at the inn that night, and when morning came

he took out two denarii: This clause implies that the Samaritan took two silver coins called denarii from the place where he carried his money. In some languages it may be necessary to say from where the Samaritan took these two coins. For example:

he took two silver coins out of his money bag

two denarii: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates literally as two denarii uses the plural form of the word “denarius.” A denarius was a Roman silver coin that was worth the pay for a full day’s work for an ordinary worker.

When translating this phrase you can:

Transliterate the Greek word denarius, as the BSB and other versions do. For example:
two denarii (RSV)
Transliterate the Greek word denarius and add a descriptive phrase. For example:
two denarii coins
Use a descriptive phrase. For example:
two silver coins (GNT)
two pieces of money
Use a generic phrase. For example:
some money

Whichever option you choose, it will probably be good to include a footnote. Some sample footnotes are:

Two denarii are two silver coins. This was as much money as a worker would earn in two days.

The money was called denarii in Greek. These two silver coins were worth the salary that a common laborer would earn in two days.

10:35b

and gave them to the innkeeper.

and gave them to the manager of the hotel/inn.
and handed them to the manager/owner.

gave them to the innkeeper: In this context the Greek word that the BSB translates as gave refers to handing over a payment, not to giving a gift. If that is not clear, it may be necessary to use a different expression. For example:

handed them to the innkeeper

paid them in advance to the innkeeper

innkeeper: The Greek word that the BSB translates as innkeeper refers to the man who took care of the guesthouse. He was the “manager” of the inn and may also have been the owner.

10:35c

‘Take care of him,’ he said,

He said to him, ‘I must leave now. Take^(sing) care of this man.
He said to the manager/owner, ‘Please care^(sing) for this man.
He asked the manager/owner to help the man while he himself was gone.

This part of the verse implies that the Samaritan was about to leave the inn to continue his journey. He gave instructions to the innkeeper about caring for the man until he returned. In some languages, it may be necessary to begin 10:35c by mentioning the Samaritan’s intention to leave. For example:

I must leave now. Look after him…

In other languages, this information may occur at the beginning of 10:35d. See 10:35c and 10:35d in the Display for examples.

Take care of him: In this context the Greek clause that the BSB translates as Take care of him means, “Take care of this injured man.” The same verb occurs in 10:34c.

In some languages, it may be necessary to begin this request with a polite word such as “please.”

he said: In some languages it may be helpful to say explicitly “the Samaritan said.”

In Greek, the words he said occur before the clause “Take care of him.” You should place he said where it is most natural in your language.

10:35d

‘and on my return

When I come back here,
I must go now, but I will soon return.
He told/promised the manager/owner that he would come back to the place/house

and on my return: The Samaritan was going either to Jerusalem or to Jericho. Apparently he planned to come back later on this same road.

10:35e

I will repay you for any additional expense.’

I will give you^(sing) enough money to cover any extra costs.’”
If it costs you^(sing) more than this to take care of him, I will give you the rest at that time.’”
and pay him for any further costs/charges.”

I will repay you for any additional expense: The Samaritan did not know whether the innkeeper would have to spend more than two silver coins to take care of the injured man. In some languages it may be best to make this clear by using an “if” clause. For example:

If you spend more money on him, I will pay it back to you. (NCV)

I will repay you: The Greek clause that the BSB translates as I will repay you means “I will pay you back.” The Samaritan was willing to pay whatever it cost the innkeeper to take care of the other man.

any additional expense: The Greek word that the BSB translates as any additional expense refers to costs in addition to the two silver coins that he had already paid.

General Comment on 10:35d–e

In some languages it may be necessary to reorder 10:35d–e to put the events in chronological order. For example:

^35eYou may need to spend more than this. If so, ^35dwhen I return ^35eI will pay you the difference/extra.

^35eIf the cost is more than this, I will pay you the rest ^35dwhen/after I come back.
