LUKE 6:30 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 6:17–49: Jesus taught people how to be his disciples

In this section, Jesus spoke about how his true disciples should think and act. He spoke about this immediately after he had chosen twelve of his disciples to be his apostles. Jesus said many things about this topic in his speech, so that people have often called this particular speech of Jesus a “sermon.”

In this sermon, Jesus asked those who heard him to be different from other people in the world and to think differently. He encouraged his disciples to obey his authority and live as people of God. They should be generous and merciful even to their enemies, as God is generous to everyone. Jesus assured his disciples that they would be blessed and rewarded for their obedience and for suffering for him. He concluded his speech by telling parables to motivate his disciples to obey his teaching.

Another possible heading for this section is:

The Sermon on the Plain (NET)

Some English versions divide 6:17–49 into several sections. Here is one way that might be done:

6:17–26 Blessings and woes

6:27–36 Love your enemies

6:37–42 Do not judge

6:43–45 A tree and its fruit

6:46–49 Two foundations

The sermon in 6:17–49 is similar to the sermon commonly referred to as “The Sermon on the Mount” in Matthew chapters 5–7.

Paragraph 6:27–31

In this paragraph, Jesus taught his disciples that they should love people who do not treat them well. Jesus emphasized this point by restating the command in four different ways. Then Jesus gave four examples of showing love to enemies and a general statement of how to treat others.

Some English versions have a section heading here, but Jesus was continuing the sermon that he began in 6:20b. If you put a heading here, you may need to make it explicit that Jesus was still talking. For example:

Jesus continued teaching, and he said, “But I tell you…”

6:30a

Give to everyone who asks you,

Give^(sing) to everyone who begs you^(sing) for something.
If/When someone asks/begs you^(sing) for something, give it to him.

Give to everyone who asks you: The phrase Give to everyone who asks you is a command to be generous and give to people who ask you for something. Being generous is a specific way to show love. Another way to translate this is:

If/when someone asks you for something, give it to him.

If your language prefers direct speech, you could say something like:

If someone says to you, “Please give me that,” give it to him.

6:30b

and if anyone takes what is yours,

If someone takes something that belongs to you^(sing),
If/When someone unjustly takes what is yours^(sing),

if anyone takes what is yours: The Greek for the word takes is the same as in 6:29c. The person may have stolen this item, or he may have asked a judge (in court) to make you give it to him. Another way to translate this is:

when someone takes something that is yours (NCV)

6:30c

do not demand it back.

do not ask^(sing) him to give it back.
do not insist/require^(sing) that he must give it back to you^(sing).

do not demand it back: The phrase do not demand it back means “do not ask him to give it back to you.” Some other ways to translate this are:

don’t insist on getting it back (GW)

do not ask for your possessions back (NET)

If your language prefers direct speech, you could say something like:

…do not say to him, “Give back my thing(s) to me!”

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo

παντὶ αἰτοῦντί σε, δίδου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: παντί αἰτοῦντι σέ Δίδου καί ἀπό τοῦ αἴροντος τά σά μή ἀπαίτει)

Jesus is using another hypothetical situation to teach. Alternate translation: [Suppose someone asks you for something. Then give it to him]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / youcrowd

σε & σὰ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: παντί αἰτοῦντι σέ Δίδου καί ἀπό τοῦ αἴροντος τά σά μή ἀπαίτει)

Even though Jesus is speaking to his disciples and the crowd, he is addressing another individual situation here, so you and yours are singular in this verse. If the singular forms of these pronouns would not be natural in your language, you could use the plural forms in your translation.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo

ἀπὸ τοῦ αἴροντος τὰ σὰ, μὴ ἀπαίτει

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: παντί αἰτοῦντι σέ Δίδου καί ἀπό τοῦ αἴροντος τά σά μή ἀπαίτει)

Jesus is using another hypothetical situation to teach. Alternate translation: [suppose someone takes away something that is yours. Then do not demand that he give it back]
