MAT 10:19 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not necessarily 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 Bible-translators and others 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 early looks into the drafted 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 10:5–42: Jesus instructed the twelve apostles

In this section, Jesus gave various instructions to the twelve apostles. In 10:5–15, he gave them some practical instructions for preaching the good news. In 10:16–33, he described the opposition that they would see when they went out. Lastly, in 10:34–42, he described the commitment required to be a disciple and the reward for being a disciple.

You may want to break this long section into several shorter sections. Here is an example:

Section 10:5–15	The things the apostles should/must do when sent
Section 10:16–33	The difficulties the apostles will face
Section 10:34–42	The cost and reward of following Jesus

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Jesus gave directions/instructions to the twelve apostles for preaching the gospel

The Mission of the Twelve (GNT)

Instructions for the Twelve Apostles (CEV)

10:19a

But when they hand you over,

When they bring you^(plur) before those rulers,
Whenever they hand you over for trial, (NET)

But when they hand you over: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as hand you over is the same phrase as in 10:17b. It refers to handing someone over for trial and judgment. In this context, this clause probably refers to the situation in 10:18: “you will be brought before governors and kings.” The disciples will be brought to trial before powerful people like governors and kings.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

Whenever they hand you over for trial (NET)

When they give you to the authorities

When you are arrested (NCV)

10:19b

do not worry about how to respond or what to say.

do not worry about what to say or how to say it.
do not be concerned about the words you^(plur) should say or the manner in which you should say them.

do not worry: This phrase also means “do not be anxious.” For example:

do not be anxious (ESV)

This phrase also occurs in 6:34a.

about how to respond or what to say: The clause how to respond refers to the manner in which the disciples should speak. It can refer to whether to speak in a bold or friendly or other manner. It can also refer to the type of arguments they should use. In other words, the disciples should not worry about carefully preparing a good speech.

The phrase what to say refers to which words the disciples should use.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

what to say or how to say it (NIV)

the words you should say or the manner in which you should say them

10:19c

In that hour you will be given what to say.

I say this because you will be given/told the words to say when the time comes.
At the right time, you will receive the words that you should say.

In the Greek, 10:19c begins with a conjunction that is often translated as “for.” Verse 10:19c is the basis of the command not to worry. The BSB does not translate this conjunction but leaves the connection with 10:19b implicit.

Here are some other ways to translate this conjunction:

I say this because

The reason is

In that hour: This phrase refers to the time when the disciple is to speak at his trial.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

when the time comes (GNT)

at the right time (NLT)

you will be given what to say: The clause is passive.

Here are some other ways to translate it:

Use a passive verb. For example:
you will be given the words to say (CEV)
Use an active verb. For example:
you will receive what to say
the Spirit of your Father will tell you what to say

δὲ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὅταν Δέ παραδῶσιν ὑμᾶς μή μεριμνήσητε πῶς ἤ τί λαλήσητε δοθήσεται γάρ ὑμῖν ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ὥρᾳ τί λαλήσητε)

The word But introduces a development of what Jesus said in the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a development, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: [Now]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

παραδῶσιν ὑμᾶς

˱they˲_˓may˒_give_over you_all

The pronoun they refers to any person who hands the disciples over. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that refers to any person. Alternate translation: [somebody hands you over] or [anyone hands you over]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

παραδῶσιν ὑμᾶς

˱they˲_˓may˒_give_over you_all

The phrase hand you over refers to putting someone under the authority and control of other people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [they seize you] or [they bring you before the authorities]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

λαλήσητε

˱you_all˲_˓may˒_speak

Jesus implies that the disciples will be required to speak in their defense after people hand them over. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [you will speak when they accuse you] or [you will speak in your defense]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

δοθήσεται & ὑμῖν & τί λαλήσητε

˓will_be_being˒_given & ˱to˲_you_all & what ˱you_all˲_˓may˒_speak

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who does the action, it is clear from the context that it is God. Alternate translation: [God will give to you what you will say]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ὥρᾳ

in that ¬the hour

The phrase in that hour refers to the time during which they will speak. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [at that moment]
