SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 13:10–17: Jesus healed a crippled woman on the Sabbath

In this section Jesus healed a woman whom an evil spirit had caused to be unable to stand straight. This story occurred on a Sabbath day sometime during Jesus’ ministry. It did not necessarily occur after the previous section. One of its possible connections with the previous section is that Jesus called people in both sections “hypocrites.”

Another possible heading for this section is:

The Healing of a Woman with a Bent/Crooked Back

This story occurs only in Luke.

13:14a

But the synagogue leader was indignant that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath.

Becoming/Feeling angry because Jesus had made someone well on the Sabbath day,
The leader of the meeting house/place became angry because Jesus had healed a person on the rest day.

But the synagogue leader was indignant that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath: The word indignant means “angry.” The ruler was angry because Jesus had done something that the Jewish leaders said was wrong to do on the Sabbath day. He had healed someone. They considered healing a person to be work, and no one was allowed to work on the Sabbath. See the note on Sabbath in 13:10.

the synagogue leader: Each synagogue had one or more rulers/leaders. In this context, there was probably one man who was the leader. The leaders were responsible to take care of the synagogue building and arrange the synagogue activities and services. Some other ways to translate this are:

the elder of the synagogue

the man who was the leader at the synagogue

the person who directed the business affairs of the synagogue

If you use footnotes for background information, you may want to use one here. For example:

Each synagogue had one or more leaders. These men were not priests or rabbis. They were responsible for taking care of the synagogue building and for arranging the worship services and other activities at the synagogue.

See how you translated this word in 8:41a.

General Comment on 13:14a–b

In some languages it may be more natural to mention the synagogue leader in the first part of the verse. For example:

The synagogue leader was angry because Jesus had healed someone on the Sabbath. So he said to the people…

13:14b

“There are six days for work,”

“There are six days on which our^(incl) law allows people to work.
“There are only six days each week when we^(incl) ought to work,

13:14c

he told the crowd.

the synagogue official/president said to the other people,
So he said to the people,

13:14b-c

There are six days for work: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as for work is literally “in which it is necessary to work.” In the Law of Moses, God commanded the people to do their work on six days of the week (Sunday through Friday). They were not allowed to work on Saturday. Other ways to express this meaning are:

There are six days in which we should work. (GNT)

The law permits us^(incl) to work six days out of the week.

Each week has six days when we can work. (CEV)

13:14d

“So come and be healed on those days

So come^(plur) for the work of healing on one of those days.
so it is on those days that you^(plur) ought to come and ask Jesus/God to heal you,

So come and be healed on those days: The synagogue ruler was saying that people who were sick should come to Jesus to be healed on one of the six work days.

be healed: This is a passive verb. In some languages it may be necessary to use an active verb. For example:

come and receive healing

come and ask Jesus/God to heal you

13:14e

and not on the Sabbath.”

Do not come to be healed on the Sabbath day when people must not work.”
not on the rest day.”

and not on the Sabbath: The phrase not on the Sabbath is an ellipsis. It contains implied information:

do not come to Jesus to be healed on the Sabbath day

The ruler was implying that healing people on the Sabbath was work, and therefore it was wrong. In some languages it may be necessary to make some of this implicit:

it is wrong to come to be healed on the Sabbath, the day of rest
