LUKE 9:52 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 Translation Notes:

Section 9:51–56: The people of a Samaritan village refused to receive Jesus

Even though the Samaritan people were partly Jewish (2 Kings 17:24–41), they worshiped God differently than the Jews did. Their main place of worship was on Mount Gerazim, while the Jews’ main place of worship was in Jerusalem (John 4:20). The Samaritans did not want Jews to travel through their district on the way to worship in Jerusalem. That is why they rejected Jesus and his disciples.

Some other examples of headings for this section are:

People From a Samaritan Village Reject Jesus (GW)

Samaritan Opposition (NIV)

9:52a

He sent messengers on ahead,

He told/asked some messengers to go ahead of him.
He sent some men ahead of the rest of them.

He sent messengers on ahead: The clause He sent messengers on ahead indicates here that Jesus told some men to go ahead of him and his other disciples to prepare people for his coming. Another way to translate this is:

He sent some men ahead of him (NCV)

9:52b

who went into a village of the Samaritans

The messengers left and went into a village in the district/province of Samaria
They went to a village where Samaria people lived

9:52c

to make arrangements for Him.

to make preparations/arrangements for him to come.
in order to prepare/arrange for the visit/arrival of Jesus and his other disciples.

9:52b–c

who went into a village of the Samaritans: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as who went into is literally “And going they entered.” Another way to translate this is:

who went and entered (RSV)

In some languages it may be more natural to start a new sentence here. For example:

They went into a Samaritan village (GW)

a village of the Samaritans: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates literally as a village of the Samaritans refers to a village in Samaria in which Samaritan people lived. Samaria was a province or district between Galilee and Judea. The people there were partly Jewish and partly Gentile. For more information, see the introduction to Section 9:51–56. Other ways to translate this phrase are:

a village of Samaria people

a village in Samaria Province

village: The Greek word that the BSB translates as village refers here to a small town or community. The same word occurs in 9:6a.

to make arrangements for Him: The phrase to make arrangements for Him expresses purpose. The messengers went to a village in the district of Samaria in order to make preparations before Jesus and his other disciples arrived. These preparations mainly involved arranging for food and lodging. But the disciples may also have announced that the Messiah was coming. If possible, you should translate this phrase in a general way that does not limit the kinds of preparation that Jesus asked the messengers to make. For example:

to prepare for his arrival (NLT)

to make arrangements for their visit

The term face means the front of a person. Alternate translation: [ahead of him]
