TSNTyndale Study Notes:

UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-condition-hypothetical

καὶ ἐὰν ἑπτάκις τῆς ἡμέρας ἁμαρτήσῃ εἰς σὲ, καὶ ἑπτάκις ἐπιστρέψῃ πρὸς σὲ, λέγων μετανοῶ, ἀφήσεις αὐτῷ

and if seven_times ˱in˲_the day ˱he˲_/may/_sin against you and seven_times ˱he˲_/may/_return to you saying ˱I˲_/am/_repenting ˱you˲_/will_be/_forgiving ˱to˲_him

Jesus is describing a hypothetical situation in order to tell his disciples what they should do if it takes place. Alternate translation: “Suppose a fellow believer were to sin against you seven times in the same day. And suppose each time he came to you and said, ‘I am sorry.’ Then you would have to forgive him each time”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἑπτάκις τῆς ἡμέρας & καὶ ἑπτάκις

seven_times ˱in˲_the day & and seven_times

The number seven in the Bible represents a large or sufficient quantity. Alternate translation: “many times in the same day, and each time”

τῆς ἡμέρας

˱in˲_the day

Alternate translation: “in the same day”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / youcrowd

σὲ & σὲ & ἀφήσεις

you & you & ˱you˲_/will_be/_forgiving

The word you is singular in this verse, since Jesus is addressing an individual situation, even though he is speaking to a group. If these singular forms would not be natural in your language for someone who was speaking to a group of people, you could use plural forms in your translation.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

ἐπιστρέψῃ πρὸς σὲ, λέγων μετανοῶ, ἀφήσεις αὐτῷ

˱he˲_/may/_return to you saying ˱I˲_/am/_repenting ˱you˲_/will_be/_forgiving ˱to˲_him

If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “comes to you and says that he is sorry, you must forgive him”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative

ἀφήσεις αὐτῷ

˱you˲_/will_be/_forgiving ˱to˲_him

Jesus is using a future statement to give an instruction and command. Alternate translation: “you must forgive him”
