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 9:43b–45: Jesus predicted his death a second time

In 9:22 Jesus told his disciples that his enemies would reject and kill him and that God would cause him to live again. Here in 9:43b–45, Jesus told his disciples the same thing again. But they still did not understand what he was talking about.

Luke placed this section immediately after the healing of the boy with an unclean spirit (9:37–43a). He did this in order to contrast the people’s amazement at the wonderful things Jesus was doing with the future suffering that Jesus knew he must endure. However, this section does not occur immediately following the miracle in the preceding section. According to the parallel passage in Mark, Jesus and his disciples left on a trip through Galilee. It was on this trip that Jesus spoke to them the second time about his coming death.

Other examples for this section heading are:

Jesus again predicted that he would die and come back to life

Death and resurrection foretold a second time

Jesus again tells his disciples that he will be killed but then God will raise him from the dead

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 17:22–23 and Mark 9:30–32.

9:44a

“Let these words sink into your ears:

“As for you^(plur), listen closely/attentively to this:
“I am going to tell you^(plur) something very important. So you must listen carefully and remember what I say.

In Greek this verse contains the pronoun “you,” even though the verb is already marked for the second person. This emphatic pronoun focuses on the disciples, in contrast to the people in general. Some ways to express this emphasis are:

For your part,… (NJB)

As for you,…

Let these words sink into your ears: The Greek command that the BSB translates as Let these words sink into your ears is literally “Put these words into your ears.” This idiom means two things:

a person should listen carefully;
he should not forget what he has heard.

You may translate either or both aspects of meaning. Both imply that Jesus is going to say something that is very important. For example:

Pay close attention (CEV)

Don’t forget (NCV)

Listen to me and remember (NLT)

these words: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates literally as these words refers to what Jesus was about to say. Another way to translate this is:

what I am about to tell you (NIV)

9:44b

The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men.”

The Son of Man is about to be turned/handed over to the control of evil men/people.”
Someone will soon betray/deliver me, the Son of Man, to the power/authority of my enemies.”

The Son of Man: Jesus often referred to himself as the Son of Man. In some languages it may be necessary to make it clear that Jesus was referring to himself:

I, the Son of Man

The phrase Son of Man also occurs in 9:22a. See how you translated this title there.

is about to be delivered: The Greek verb that the BSB translates as is about to be delivered refers to something that would definitely happen in the near future. Some other ways to translate this are:

will soon be betrayed

is about to be handed over

be delivered: In this context, the Greek word that the BSB translates as delivered means “handed over to the power of someone else.” It often refers to a person being delivered to his enemies.

This is a passive verb. The text does not specify who would betray Jesus. From later in Luke, it is clear that Judas would betray Jesus. This would fulfill God’s plan. However, you should not make either God or Judas explicit here. If you need to use an active verb, translate in a general way. For example:

someone is going to betray

into the hands of men: The phrase into the hands of men is a figure of speech. It refers to people gaining power or control over someone. In this context, this expression refers to Jesus being under the power of people who will harm him. People who want to harm him will gain the power to do that. In some languages, this expression may already be implied in the verb “delivered.” If so, it does not need to be explicitly translated. For example:

over to people (NCV)

Do not translate this in a way that means people will protect him. In some languages it may be necessary to make it clear that these people wish to do him harm. For example:

into the power of his/my enemies
