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 11:37–54: Jesus criticized the Pharisees and the teachers of the law

In this section, a Pharisee invited Jesus to his house for a meal. The Pharisee was surprised that Jesus did not ritually wash his hands before he ate. Jesus then criticized the Pharisees because they carefully observed outward rituals but neglected true devotion to God. He specifically warned the Pharisees about three ways in which they displeased God. He then directed three additional warnings to the teachers of the law.

Some other headings for this section are:

Jesus’ Criticism of the Religious Leaders

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 23:1–36 and Mark 12:38–40.

11:45a

One of the experts in the law told Him,

¶ Then one of the teachers of the law said to Jesus,
¶ An expert in the law was there. He responded,

One of the experts in the law: The Greek word that the BSB translates as experts in the law refers to men who studied, interpreted, and taught the Jewish law. This included the laws that God gave to Moses as well as the “oral law” that the Jewish religious leaders had added over time.

This word is sometimes translated as:

lawyer (RSV)

However, the function of a lawyer today is quite different from the function of an “expert in the law” in Jesus’ time. The main function of the experts in the law was to teach the laws of Moses. This function should be in focus in your translation of this term. Some other ways to translate this term are:

teachers of the Law of Moses

teachers of religious law

experts on the law

This same word occurs in 10:25a. See expert in the law in the Glossary.

told Him: The Greek word that the BSB translates as told is literally “answered.” However, the man was not answering a question. He was offended by what Jesus had said about the Pharisees. He spoke up in response to Jesus’ criticism of the Pharisees. Some other ways to translate this word are:

said to him (GNT)

spoke up (CEV)

responded

11:45b

“Teacher, when You say these things, You insult us as well.”

“Teacher, when you^(sing) say these things about the Pharisees, you insult us^(excl) too.”
“Sir, you^(sing) insulted/shamed us^(excl) teachers of the law also when you spoke like that to the Pharisees.”

Teacher: The Greek word that the BSB translates as Teacher was a polite title for a Jewish religious leader. It was a title of respect for a Jewish man who had authority to teach the things about God. In some languages the appropriate way to address a religious teacher may be:

Sir Teacher

Sir

Master

Be careful not to use a term that can refer only to a school teacher.

Consider what term of respect people use in your area for religious teachers who are leaders. It may be appropriate to use a term other than Teacher if you would naturally use a different term of address.

In some languages, a person shows respect by a blessing rather than a term. For example “May God add to your days.”

This word Teacher also occurs in 10:25c–d.

when You say these things, You insult us as well: Most of the experts in the law were also Pharisees. So what Jesus said against the Pharisees would also be against them.

In some languages it may be more natural to use past tense verbs here, because these clauses refer to what Jesus had already said. For example:

when you said these things, you also insulted us

these things: The phrase these things refers to what Jesus had just said about the Pharisees. If you need to make this explicit in your language, you could say something like:

when you talk in this way about the Pharisees

You insult us as well: The Greek word that the BSB translates as insult means “criticize or speak badly of someone in a way that dishonors or offends them.” Another way to translate this clause is:

you are also causing us^(excl) law experts to be shamed

Note 1 topic: translate-tense

ἀποκριθεὶς δέ τις τῶν νομικῶν λέγει αὐτῷ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀποκριθείς Δέ τὶς τῶν νομικῶν λέγει αὐτῷ Διδάσκαλε ταῦτα λέγων καί ἡμάς ὑβρίζεις)

To call attention to a development in the story, Luke uses the present tense in past narration. See how you decided to approach this usage in [7:40](../07/40.md). If it would not be natural to use the present tense in your language, you could use the past tense in your translation. Alternate translation: [Then one of the experts in the Jewish law who was there said to him]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

ἀποκριθεὶς & τις τῶν νομικῶν λέγει

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀποκριθείς Δέ τὶς τῶν νομικῶν λέγει αὐτῷ Διδάσκαλε ταῦτα λέγων καί ἡμάς ὑβρίζεις)

Together the two verbs answering and says mean that this lawyer was responding to what Jesus had said about the Pharisees. Alternate translation: [one of the lawyers responded]

Note 3 topic: writing-participants

τις τῶν νομικῶν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀποκριθείς Δέ τὶς τῶν νομικῶν λέγει αὐτῷ Διδάσκαλε ταῦτα λέγων καί ἡμάς ὑβρίζεις)

This phrase introduces a new character into the story. Alternate translation: [one of the experts in the Jewish law who was there]

Note 4 topic: translate-unknown

τις τῶν νομικῶν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀποκριθείς Δέ τὶς τῶν νομικῶν λέγει αὐτῷ Διδάσκαλε ταῦτα λέγων καί ἡμάς ὑβρίζεις)

See how you translated “lawyer” in [7:30](../07/30.md). Alternate translation: [one of the experts in the Jewish law who was there]

Διδάσκαλε

Teacher

Teacher is a respectful title. You could translate it with an equivalent term that your language and culture would use.

ταῦτα λέγων, καὶ ἡμᾶς ὑβρίζεις

these_‹things› saying (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀποκριθείς Δέ τὶς τῶν νομικῶν λέγει αὐτῷ Διδάσκαλε ταῦτα λέγων καί ἡμάς ὑβρίζεις)

Alternate translation: [those are not very nice things to say, and they apply to us too]
