TSNTyndale Study Notes:

6:9 Is this a day to save life or to destroy it? Jesus’ question penetrated the religious leaders’ motives. They were plotting against Jesus (an evil act) because he was going to heal someone (a good act).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

πρὸς αὐτούς

to them

The pronoun them refers to the scribes and Pharisees. Alternate translation: [to the scribes and Pharisees]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

ἐπερωτῶ ὑμᾶς, εἰ ἔξεστιν τῷ Σαββάτῳ ἀγαθοποιῆσαι ἢ κακοποιῆσαι, ψυχὴν σῶσαι ἢ ἀπολέσαι?

˱I˲_/am/_asking you_all whether ˱it˲_/is/_permitting ˱on˲_the Sabbath /to/_do_good or /to/_do_evil life /to/_save or /to/_destroy

Jesus asks this question to get the Pharisees to admit that it is legitimate to heal on the Sabbath. The intent of the question is therefore rhetorical. Jesus is not trying to obtain information; he wants someone to admit that something is true. However, Jesus says, “I ask you,” so this question is not like other rhetorical questions that might appropriately be translated as statements. This one should be translated as a question.

ἀγαθοποιῆσαι ἢ κακοποιῆσαι

/to/_do_good or /to/_do_evil

Alternate translation: [to help someone or to harm someone]
