LUKE 24:7 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 24:1–12: Jesus rose from the dead

In this section, Luke wrote about what happened when Jesus rose from the dead. In 23:55 some women saw where his dead body was laid in the tomb. In 24:1 they returned to the tomb to rub Jesus’ body with ointments. When they came, two angels said to the women, “He has risen!”

This section shows that Jesus’ body was alive again, as well as his spirit. The strips of cloth that the women used to wrap his body were lying by themselves in the tomb. Be sure to translate this section in a way that clearly shows that Jesus came alive again as a real human being.

The first people who came to Jesus’ tomb were women, so they were the ones who heard the good news from the angels. When they went and told his followers, the followers did not believe the women.

Some examples of other headings for this section are:

Jesus Comes Back to Life (GW)

The Resurrection of Jesus (NRSV)

Jesus Is Alive (CEV)

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 28:1–10, Mark 16:1–8, and John 20:1–10.

24:7a

‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men,

He said, ‘It is necessary that I, the Son of Man, be handed over to sinners
He said that he, the Son of Man, must be put into the power of sinful people.
He said, ‘God determined/decided that people will give me, the Son of Man into the hands/control of evildoers,

In the Greek text this verse begins with a word that means “saying.” It introduces the words of Jesus that the men quoted. These were words that Jesus had said in the past.These words are not quoted in this exact form in Luke. but a similar quote is found in Luke 9:22. Jesus predicted his death and resurrection a number of times, and it is likely that the angels were summarizing what he said. You should introduce them in a natural way in your language. Some ways to introduce them are:

He said (GW)

saying

In some languages it may be more natural to translate the quote as indirect speech. See the General Comment on 24:7a–c at the end of 24:7c for examples.

The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men: In Greek this clause is more literally, “it is necessary for the Son of Man to be delivered into the hands of sinners.” In the Bible the verb “it is necessary” usually implies that God has already decided that a certain action must happen. In this context God had decided that the Son of Man must be put into the power/control of sinful men. Some other ways to make this clear are:

it is necessary for the Son of Man to be handed over to sinners

God has determined/decided that the Son of Man will be handed over to sinners

In 18:32 Jesus mentioned that he would be delivered into the power of the Gentiles, but in Greek the statement there does not include the verb “it is necessary.”

The Son of Man: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as The Son of Man occurs often in Luke. It occurs for the first time in 5:24. You should translate it in the same way as you did there. See the note on The Son of Man at 17:22a–b for more information and translation suggestions.

In this context the angel was quoting something that Jesus had said about himself. In some languages it may be necessary to use a form such as “I” or “me” in the quote to indicate that Jesus was referring to himself. For example:

I/me, the Son of Man

If you translate the quote as indirect speech, use an appropriate way to indicate that Jesus was referring to himself. For example:

he/him, the Son of Man

See also “Son of Man” in KBT for more information.

must be delivered: The verb must be delivered is passive. Some ways to translate it in this verse are:

Use a passive verb. For example:
The Son of Man must be handed over to sinful people (GW)
Use an active verb and supply a subject. This subject should be either God or an impersonal subject. For example:
God has decided to put/give the Son of Man into the power of sinners
It is necessary that someone/they give the Son of Man into the power of sinners.

sinful men: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as sinful men is more literally “sinful people.” It refers to people who habitually do things that are against God’s will. This includes acts, thoughts, and attitudes. These sinners violate God’s standard of what is right and good. They also fail to do and think the things that please him.

Here sinful men refers especially to the men to whom Judas betrayed Jesus. Then those men caused Jesus to be crucified (24:7b).

Other ways to translate it are:

sinners

evildoers

24:7b

and be crucified,

and be nailed on a cross to die.
They must kill/execute him on a death post,
and they will kill me,

be crucified: The Greek verb that the BSB translates as be crucified is passive. The implied subject of the verb is the “sinful men” in 24:7a. In some languages it is more natural to use an active verb. For example:

they will crucify him/me

those sinners will crucify him/me

For information on translating the verb “crucify,” see the note at 23:21b.

24:7c

and on the third day rise again.’”

Then in three days I will be raised/resurrected.’”
but he must live again in three days.”
but God will cause me to live again on the third day.’”

on the third day: The phrase on the third day refers to the third day after Jesus was crucified. When the Jews counted time, they counted part of a day as a whole day. Jesus was buried on the first day (Friday), he was in the tomb all of the second day (Saturday). Then he rose from the dead on the third day (Sunday) before daybreak. (A Jewish day began at sundown, so the first day of the week began at sundown on Saturday night.)

Translate the meaning of on the third day in a way that is natural in your language.

rise again: The Greek verb that the BSB translates as rise again means “rise/live again.” This passive form of the verb was also used in 24:6b. See the note there.

General Comment on 24:7a–c

In some languages it may be more natural to translate the quote in 24:7 as indirect speech. For example:

…that the Son of Man must be handed over to sinners, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again. (NRSV)

He said that he the Son of Man must be betrayed into the hands of sinful people, be crucified, and rise to life on the third day.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

λέγων & ὅτι

saying & ¬that

These words introduce an indirect quotation. You could also translate what follows as a direct quotation, as UST does. However, that would be a quotation within a quotation, and you may wish to avoid that by leaving what follows as an indirect quotation.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου & παραδοθῆναι

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: λέγων Τόν Υἱόν τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου ὅτι δεῖ παραδοθῆναι εἰς χεῖρας ἀνθρώπων ἁμαρτωλῶν καί σταυρωθῆναι καί τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρᾳ ἀναστῆναι)

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου

When Jesus said this, he was referring to himself in the third person. If you decide to represent this as a direct quotation, and If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the first person. Alternate translation: [me, the Son of Man]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

εἰς χεῖρας ἀνθρώπων ἁμαρτωλῶν

into hands ˱of˲_people sinful

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

καὶ σταυρωθῆναι

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form, and you could state who would do the action. Alternate translation: [and for those sinful men to crucify him] or, if you are translating as a direct quotation in the first person, [and for those sinful men to crucify me]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

See how you translated this phrase in [9:22](../09/22.md). Alternate translation: [and after spending the next full day in the grave, to come back to life on the day after that]

Note 8 topic: translate-ordinal

τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρᾳ

˱on˲_the third day

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
