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).

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 22:47–53: Judas helped Jesus’ enemies to find him and arrest him

In this section Judas arrived at the place where Jesus and his disciples were talking. Judas was leading a crowd of men who had come to arrest Jesus and take him to the Jewish leaders for trial. Many of these men were probably temple guards. Judas had agreed to greet Jesus with a kiss so that they would know which person to arrest.

The disciples saw what was about to happen, and they asked Jesus if they should fight to prevent his arrest. Peter cut off one man’s ear, but Jesus healed the man and told his disciples not to fight against his arrest. The temple guards arrested Jesus, and he did not resist them.

Some other examples of headings for this section are:

Jesus Is Arrested (GW)

The Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus (NRSV)

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 26:47–56, Mark 14:43–50, and John 18:3–11.

22:51a

But Jesus answered, “No more of this!”

But Jesus said to his disciples, “Enough of this fighting!”
But Jesus responded, “Stop^(plur) fighting/resisting!”

But: This verse begins with a common Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as But. Jesus responded to the action in 22:50 in an unexpected way. Several versions do not introduce the verse with a conjunction. Introduce it in a natural way in your language.

Jesus answered: In this context the Greek verb that the BSB translates as answered means “responded.” Jesus responded to what one of his disciples had done. He was not answering the question that they asked in 22:49b. Use an appropriate verb in your language. For example:

Jesus said

Jesus responded

No more of this!: The Greek idiom that the BSB translates as No more of this! is more literally “allow/stop until this.” The verb “allow/stop” is a plural command to the disciples standing there. But the meaning of the command is uncertain.Nolland (p. 1088) says, “The sense of eate eōs toutou (lit. [you plural] let [him/it be] up to/as far as/until this’) remains uncertain. Is ‘this’ the sword stroke, the imminent arrest, or the whole ‘disaster’ befalling the ministry of Jesus, beginning with the prospect of arrest? Perhaps the last, with the implication that this whole development is to be accepted as the will of God.” Marshall (p. 837) suggests three main views, preferring the second: “1. This gives the sense ‘Leave alone; thus far (and no further)’; i.e. ‘Stop; go only as far as this and no further’….2. Others supply autous as the implied object: ‘Let them (sc. the police) have their way’…i.e. ‘let them go even as far as arresting me’). Similarly, Creed, 274: ‘Let events take their course—even to my arrest’. 3. An older view…regards the words as addressed to the police: ‘Permit me, thus far (i.e. to touch the ear of the wounded man)’. The second view is perhaps to be preferred.” The first two views are not very different in the context, since commanding them to stop fighting and to let him be arrested are, in effect, the same command expressed with a different focus. Arndt (p. 451) says: “The words of Jesus cannot be addressed to the police and their assistants, because verse 52 introduces His remarks to them. He evidently speaks to the disciples. The view I hold is that eate forms a sentence by itself, signifying: ‘Let them do their work; do not hinder them,’ and that eōs toutou is an exclamation with the force of an imperative, saying in effect, ‘So far and no farther!’ ‘No more of this!’ That is, Jesus wants no more resistance.” Almost all English versions interpret it as the BSB does: Jesus was telling his disciples to stop fighting or to let the crowd arrest him. Translate this meaning in a natural way in your language. Some other ways to translate it in English are:

Enough of this! (GNT)

…Don’t resist anymore. (NLT96)

Stop! Do not fight anymore!

22:51b

And He touched the man’s ear and healed him.

Then he touched the man’s ear and healed him/it.
and Jesus put his hand on the slave’s ear and caused it to be just as it was before it was slashed off.

And He touched the man’s ear and healed him: This clause does not indicate exactly how Jesus healed the man’s ear. It also does not indicate which part of the ear Jesus touched. Translate the clause in a natural way to indicate clearly that Jesus healed the man so that his ear was normal again.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

ἀποκριθεὶς & ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀποκριθείς Δέ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν Ἐᾶτε ἕως τούτου Καί ἁψάμενος τοῦ ὠτίου ἰάσατο αὐτόν)

Together the two words answering and said mean that Jesus responded to what the disciple had just done. Alternate translation: [Jesus responded]

ἐᾶτε ἕως τούτου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀποκριθείς Δέ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν Ἐᾶτε ἕως τούτου Καί ἁψάμενος τοῦ ὠτίου ἰάσατο αὐτόν)

This is an idiom. It is in the form of a positive statement, but it actually has a strong negative meaning. Alternate translation: [No more of this] or [Do not do anything more like that]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἁψάμενος τοῦ ὠτίου, ἰάσατο αὐτόν

It may be necessary to explain what it means that Jesus touched the servant’s ear, since it had been cut off. Alternate translation: [Jesus put the servant’s ear back in place and healed it] or [Jesus touched the servant at the place where his ear had been cut off and restored it]

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.
