UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For introduces an explanation concerning why Jesus can call the disciples his mother and brothers. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces an explanation, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: [Indeed,] or [I say that because]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὸ θέλημα τοῦ Πατρός μου τοῦ ἐν οὐρανοῖς

the will ˱of˲_the Father ˱of˲_me who_‹is› in /the/_heavens

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of will, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [what my Father in the heavens desires]

Note 3 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

τοῦ Πατρός μου

˱of˲_the Father ˱of˲_me

Father is an important title that describe the relationship between God the Father and Jesus his Son.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐν οὐρανοῖς

in /the/_heavens

Here, the phrase in the heavens identifies the location in which God the Father is specially present and from which he rules. If it would be helpful in your language, you make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [who is in the heavens]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

αὐτός μου ἀδελφὸς, καὶ ἀδελφὴ, καὶ μήτηρ ἐστίν

he ˱of˲_me brother and sister and mother is

Here Jesus speaks of everyone who does God’s will as if they were his brother and sister and mother. He means that he considers them to be part of his family. Express the idea as you did in the previous verse (12:49). Alternate translation: [I call him my brother and sister and mother] or [he is a person whom I love as if he were my brother and sister and mother]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

αὐτός

Although the term he is masculine, Jesus is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: [he or she] or [such a person]
