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.

Section 9:1–6: Jesus sent his twelve apostles to preach and heal people

Jesus sent his twelve apostles to different towns to preach about God’s kingdom, to heal people, and to cast out demons. He gave them instructions about the trip (9:3), about where they should stay (9:4), and about what to do when people did not welcome them (9:5).

It is good to translate this section before you decide on a heading for it. Another heading for this section is:

Jesus sent out the twelve apostles/disciples

The Sending of the Twelve Apostles (NET)

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 9:35, 10:5–15, and Mark 6:6–13.

9:4a

Whatever house you enter,

When you^(plur) go into a house as a guest,
When you^(plur) arrive in a particular town and someone invites you to stay in his house,

9:4b

stay there until you leave that area.

continue to reside in that house until you^(plur) leave that town.
stay there all the time you^(plur) are preaching in his town.

9:4a–b

Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that area: The phrase Whatever house you enter refers to any house where the apostles were invited to stay as guests on their journey. Jesus told them that they should stay in that same home until they left that town. This implies that they should not go to other houses to look for a better place to stay.

In some languages it may be necessary to make explicit some of this information or to reorder some of the parts of this verse. For example:

Wherever you go, stay in the same house until you leave town (NLT)

When you are welcomed into a home, stay there until you leave that town (CEV)

When you arrive in a town and someone invites you to be his guest, stay at that person’s house until you leave that town

stay there: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as stay there means “stay there as a guest,” that is, sleep there at night. It does not imply that the disciples should stay inside the house and never go outside.

until you leave that area: The phrase that the BSB translates as until you leave that area is literally “and from there depart.” Several English versions translate the phrase that way. The BSB has supplied the words that area to make the meaning clear. Use a natural way to say this in your language.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

εἰς ἣν ἂν οἰκίαν εἰσέλθητε

into (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί εἰς ἥν ἄν οἰκίαν εἰσέλθητε ἐκεῖ μένετε καί ἐκεῖθεν ἐξέρχεσθε)

The implication is that the disciples can enter a house because the people living there have welcomed them. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [any house where you are welcomed]

ἐκεῖ μένετε

there ˓be˒_remaining

Alternate translation: [stay in that same house]

καὶ ἐκεῖθεν ἐξέρχεσθε

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί εἰς ἥν ἄν οἰκίαν εἰσέλθητε ἐκεῖ μένετε καί ἐκεῖθεν ἐξέρχεσθε)

Alternate translation: [until you leave that place]
