SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 22:14–23: Jesus gave his disciples bread and wine with a special meaning

In this section Jesus ate his last meal with his twelve disciples before he died. During this Passover meal, Jesus told them about the new covenant that he was making with them. He took bread and gave thanks to God. Then he divided the bread into pieces and gave it to his disciples to share. He said to them, “This is my body, given for you.” After the main meal, he gave his disciples a cup of wine to drink from. He said, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.” When Jesus said these things, he indicated that he would sacrifice himself by dying as a substitute for his disciples to save them from slavery to sin. By doing this, he would fulfill the real meaning of Passover. As God saved the people of Israel who put the blood of the Passover lamb on their doors, he will save the people who trust in Jesus’ sacrifice for them.

Jesus told his disciples to continue to remember him by taking bread and wine as his body and blood given for them. This thanksgiving service is now called the Eucharist, from the Greek word that means “thanksgiving.” It is also called the Lord’s Supper and Holy Communion.

Some other examples of headings for this section are:

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 26:26–30, Mark 14:22–26, and 1 Corinthians 11:23–25.

22:17a

After taking the cup,

¶ Jesus took a cup of wine in his hands
¶ Then Jesus took a cup containing wine from the table.

After taking the cup: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as After taking the cup is literally “and having taken a cup.” This cup was full of wine.This wine reminded the Jews of the lamb’s blood that their ancestors put over their doors so that their firstborn sons would be saved from death. It was the Jewish tradition to drink several cups of wine during the Passover meal. To make wine, the Jews allowed some grape juice to ferment, but other grape juice, they did not allow to ferment; in both cases, they called the product “wine.” In some languages it may be necessary to make this explicit. For example:

Then he took a cup of wine (NLT)

And then Jesus got a cup filled with wineWestern Bukidnon Manobo back translation on TW.

Then Jesus took a cup in which was put grape juiceKankanaey back translation on TW.

taking: The Greek verb that the BSB translates as taking indicates here that Jesus took the cup in his hands. He probably lifted the cup from the table, rather than receiving it from someone. In some languages it may be helpful to make this explicit. For example:

Jesus took a cup of wine in his hands (CEV)

Jesus took a cup of wine from the table

cup: The word cup refers here to a cup or bowl probably made from clay. In your translation you may use the name of a container that people normally drink from.

In this context the word cup includes what was in the cup. As mentioned above, the cup contained wine. Wine is an alcoholic drink. It is made from the juice of a fruit called grapes. When grape juice ferments, it becomes wine.

In some areas, people may not be familiar with wine. If that is true in your language, some other ways to translate “wine” are:

Use a general term for an alcoholic drink.
Use a more specific term that can also be used to refer to alcoholic drinks in general.
Use a descriptive phrase. For example:
fruit juice/water
grape juice
fermented grape juice

Jesus also gave wine to his apostles in 22:20, when he established Communion. Consider how the churches in your area refer to the drink that is used for Communion. The word “wine” occurs in 1:15, 5:37–39, 7:33, and 10:34. See how you translated it there, and consider whether you should use the same word here. Use an appropriate option for your language.

22:17b

He gave thanks and said,

and thanked God. Then he said to them,
After thanking God for it, he said to his disciples,

He gave thanks and said: The phrase He gave thanks indicates that Jesus thanked God for the wine. After he thanked God, he spoke to the apostles, saying the words in 22:17c. Be sure that this is clear in your translation. Some other ways to translate He gave thanks and said are:

after giving thanks to God for it, he said to the apostles

he said thank you to God, and he said to his disciplesUma back translation on TW.

22:17c

“Take this and divide it among yourselves.

“Take^(plur) this cup of wine and share it among yourselves.
“Each of you^(plur) receive this cup of wine and drink in turn from it.
“Pass^(plur) this cup around and share the wine together.

Take this and divide it among yourselves: Jesus handed the cup to one of his apostles, but he was giving it to all of them. He wanted his apostles to pass the cup from one apostle to another. Each apostle would then either drink from the same cup or pour some of the wine into his own cup. Consider whether in your own language both commands should be plural, as they are in the Greek text. Other ways to translate it are:

Take this wine and share it among yourselves.

Each of you drink from this cup.

All of you, drink some of this.Western Bukidnon Manobo back translation on TW.

divide it: The Greek verb that the BSB translates literally as divide means “to distribute.” Here it refers to sharing the wine that was in the cup. Refer to this action in a natural way in your language. In some languages a separate word for divide may not be necessary. See the final two examples in the preceding note.

Jesus’ Arrest, Trial, Crucifixion, and Burial

Matthew 26-27; Mark 14-15; Luke 22-23; John 13-19

On the Thursday before he was crucified, Jesus had arranged to share the Passover meal with his disciples in an upper room, traditionally thought to be located in the Essene Quarter of Jerusalem. After they finished the meal, they went to the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus often met with his disciples. There Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus’ own disciples, betrayed him to soldiers sent from the High Priest, and they took Jesus to the High Priest’s residence. In the morning the leading priests and teachers of the law put Jesus on trial and found him guilty of blasphemy. The council sent Jesus to stand trial for treason before the Roman governor Pontius Pilate, who resided at the Praetorium while in Jerusalem. The Praetorium was likely located at the former residence of Herod the Great, who had died over 30 years earlier. When Pilate learned that Jesus was from Galilee, he sent him to Herod Antipas, who had jurisdiction over Galilee. But when Jesus gave no answer to Herod’s many questions, Herod and his soldiers sent him back to Pilate, who conceded to the people’s demands that Jesus be crucified. Jesus was forced to carry his cross out of the city gate to Golgotha, meaning Skull Hill, referring to what may have been a small unquarried hill in the middle of an old quarry just outside the gate. After Jesus was unable to carry his cross any further, a man named Simon from Cyrene was forced to carry it for him. There at Golgotha they crucified Jesus. After Jesus died, his body was hurriedly taken down before nightfall and placed in a newly cut, rock tomb owned by Joseph of Arimathea, a member of the Jewish high council. This tomb was likely located at the perimeter of the old quarry.
