LUKE 20:12 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 20:9–19: Jesus told a parable about some evil tenant farmers

In 20:1–8 the Jewish religious leaders asked Jesus two questions about his authority. In this section Jesus used a parable to answer those questions in an indirect way. The Jewish leaders showed that they understood this parable by their response in 20:19.

The parable was a story about a man who owned a vineyard. A vineyard is a farm where people grow vines that produce a fruit called “grapes.” Many Jewish people had grape farms. They used the grape juice to make wine, which was important in their culture. They also sold the grapes to make money.

In this story, the owner of the grape farm hired men to farm it for him and to give him a share of the profit. Three times the owner sent servants to the men to collect his share. But the men refused to give the owner his share, and they mistreated each of his servants who came to collect it. When he sent his own son, they killed him. Consider how you would tell a similar story in your language.

Jesus used the people in the parable to represent the Jewish religious leaders and their actions toward God and toward himself, God’s Son. The grape farm represents the people of Israel, and the owner represents God. The grape farmers represent the leaders of Israel. The servants represent the prophets, and the owner’s son represents Jesus.

Examples of headings for this section are:

The Parable of the Tenants (NIV)

A story of evil farmers

A parable about bad renters of a vineyard

Parallel passages for this section are in Matthew 21:33–46 and Mark 12:1–12.

20:12a

Then he sent a third,

Again a third time, the owner sent a servant,
Then/So again the owner sent another servant,
When the servant came to the owner and told this to him, the owner sent a third servant to them.

The event in this verse is the third in a series of similar events. These three events lead to the climax in the next verse, when the owner will send his own son to the farmers/tenants. Consider how to translate this series of events in a way that is natural for leading to a climax in your language.

Then he sent a third: In Greek, this clause is literally “and he proceeded a third time to send someone.” This clause indicates that the owner again sent another servant to bring his share of the harvest to him. He had already sent two of his servants. Some English versions use the English word “still” to emphasize this. For example:

He sent still a third (NIV)

Some ways to translate the clause are:

Then a third time he sent a slave

He tried once more and sent a third (REB)

20:12b

but they wounded him and threw him out.

but the tenant farmers hurt him badly and forced him to leave the grape farm/garden.
but the men injured him seriously and threw/thrust him off the property.
When that servant went to the farmers, they treated him worse than the others. They wounded him and threw/flung him out.

but they wounded him: The Greek word that the BSB translates as wounded means “hurt badly” or “beat bloody.” It implies that this servant was injured more seriously than the others.

and threw him out: The Greek verb that the BSB translates as threw him out indicates that the tenant farmers themselves used force to throw or drag the servant from the farm.

The Greek text does not say explicitly here that this servant went home empty-handed, but that is clearly implied. In some languages you may need to make it explicit. For example:

without any share of the harvest

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

τρίτον

˓a˒_third

Jesus is using the adjective third as a noun in order to indicate a particular person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could specify the person. Alternate translation: [a third servant]

Note 2 topic: translate-ordinal

τρίτον

˓a˒_third

If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you can use a cardinal number here. Alternate translation: [servant number three]

καὶ τοῦτον τραυματίσαντες, ἐξέβαλον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί προσέθετο τρίτον πέμψαι οἱ δέ καί τοῦτον τραυματίσαντες ἐξέβαλον)

Alternate translation: [injuring that servant, cast him out as well]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

καὶ τοῦτον & ἐξέβαλον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί προσέθετο τρίτον πέμψαι οἱ δέ καί τοῦτον τραυματίσαντες ἐξέβαλον)

Here Jesus means that the farmers forced the slave out of the vineyard. It is unlikely that they actually picked him up and heaved him through the air. Alternate translation: [chased this one also off the property]
