SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 24:13–35: Jesus came to two disciples on the road to Emmaus

The author told how two of Jesus’ disciples saw Jesus on the road to the village of Emmaus, but they did not know that he was Jesus. He talked with them and reminded them that God’s prophets had said that the Messiah would die and rise again. They invited him into their home. As he sat at the table with them, God caused them to realize that this man himself was Jesus, who had become alive again. Jesus disappeared, and the two disciples went quickly back to Jerusalem and told the other disciples that they had seen the Lord.

The account in this section does not occur elsewhere in Scripture. Some other examples of headings for this section are:

Jesus Appears to Two Disciples (CEV)

The Walk to Emmaus (NLT)

24:26a–b

Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and then to enter His glory?: This is a rhetorical question. It emphasizes the necessity for the Christ to suffer and then enter his glory. It also implies that the two disciples should have known about this already. They should have understood that these sufferings were necessary before the Christ entered his glory. Some ways to translate this question are:

As a rhetorical question. For example:
Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer before entering into his glory? (NJB)
Did not the Christ need to suffer and die like that before he entered his glory?
As a statement. For example:
As the prophets said, it was necessary for the Christ to suffer these things before he entered his glory.
You ought to understand that the Messiah had to suffer first, and only after that, be honored.
They said that the Christ must suffer these things before he enters his glory. (NCV)

Translate the question and what it implies in a way that is natural in your language.

In some languages it may be more natural to change the order of 24:26a and 24:26b. See the General Comment on 24:26a–b at the end of 24:26b for an example.

24:26a

Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things

Why did you^(plur) not understand that the Christ had to suffer those things
You should have known that it was necessary for the Messiah to suffer in this way
They clearly predicted that the Christ/Messiah must suffer and die as he did,

Was it not necessary for the Christ: The word necessary indicates here that God had already determined what the Christ must do. God decided what must happen to the Christ. Then the prophets had predicted that those things would happen. A similar meaning occurred in 24:7, where the BSB translated it as “must.”

Some ways to translate it in this context are:

It was determined by God that the Christ must…

Was it not necessary for the Messiah to…? (GNT)

See the examples in the preceding note for more translation suggestions.

the Christ: Here the word Christ is used as a title. The Jews used this title to refer to the person whom God had appointed and promised to send as king and savior. The title Christ is the Greek translation of the Hebrew word “Messiah,” and the two words have the same meaning.

For more information, see the note at 20:41b also Christ in the Glossary.

to suffer these things: The phrase these things refers to the events that were summarized in 24:20. Jesus was condemned by the chief priests and other Jewish leaders, tried by the Romans, and crucified. Some other ways to refer to these sufferings here are:

to suffer in this way (REB)

to suffer (CEV)

experience such persecution

24:26b

and then to enter His glory?”

before he began his glorious reign/rule?”
before God glorified him.”
and only then receive the majesty/splendor that he deserves.”

and then to enter His glory: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as and then introduces the result of Christ’s suffering. The suffering was necessary for him to enter his glory. It is clear in this context that he would enter his glory only after he suffered. You should translate this connection in a clear way in your language. Other ways to translate it in English are:

and after that, enter his glory

before entering his glory (NLT)

You should connect 24:26b with 24:26a in a way that is natural in your language.

to enter His glory: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates literally as to enter His glory refers to Jesus receiving honor and authority to rule with God. God had promised to raise Jesus from the dead and give him power and authority to rule over everything. The phrase His glory refers to this authority and the great majesty and splendor it implies.

Some other ways to translate this phrase are:

receiving his honor/authority

ruling over everything

beginning his majestic reign

His glory: The phrase His glory refers to the glory/honor that Jesus deserves and that God promised him. Some other ways to translate this phrase are:

the glory/honor that he deserves

the glory/power that God planned for him

General Comment on 24:26a–b

In some languages it may be more natural to reverse the order of clauses in this verse. For example:

^26bBefore receiving glory/majesty as King, ^26athe Messiah would have to suffer all these things.

Translate the clauses in a natural order in your language.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

οὐχὶ ταῦτα ἔδει παθεῖν τὸν Χριστὸν καὶ εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν δόξαν αὐτοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Οὐχί ταῦτα ἔδει παθεῖν τόν Χριστόν καί εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τήν δόξαν αὐτοῦ)

Jesus is using the question form to remind the disciples about what the prophets said. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or exclamation. Alternate translation: [The Messiah had to suffer these things in order to enter into his glory!]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

καὶ εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν δόξαν αὐτοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Οὐχί ταῦτα ἔδει παθεῖν τόν Χριστόν καί εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τήν δόξαν αὐτοῦ)

This is not a second thing that it was necessary for the Messiah to do. Rather, this is the result for which it was necessary for the Messiah to do the first thing. Alternate translation: [in order to enter into his glory]

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract noun glory with an adjective such as “glorious.” Alternate translation: [to receive a glorious position]
