MAT 17:7 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 Translator’s Notes:

Section 17:1–13: Three disciples saw Jesus’ glory

In this section, Jesus changed his appearance. He made his face and his clothes shine very brightly. He did this in front of Peter, James and John. At the same time, the disciples saw Moses and Elijah. Then they heard the voice of God. When the disciples saw and heard all this, they understood that Jesus was not an ordinary teacher. They better understood that he really was the Messiah.

This section immediately follow 16:28 which says, “Truly, I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.” This section begins to fulfill that verse.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

The disciples saw Jesus’ appearance change

Jesus’ glory was revealed on the mountain

There are parallel passages for this section in Mark 9:2–12 and Luke 9:28–36.

17:7a

Then Jesus came over and touched them.

Jesus came to them and touched them
Then Jesus went over to them and touched them

Then: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as Then here functions to join the next event to the previous one. Here it does not show an obvious contrast. However, some English versions translate this word as “But.” Other versions do not translate it at all. For example:

But Jesus came and touched them. (ESV)

Jesus came to them and touched them. (GNT)

You should begin this verse in a way that is natural in your language.

Jesus came over: This story is told from the disciples’ perspective. So Jesus is described as coming from where he was to where the disciples were. But this event can also be told as if looking at the whole scene. For example:

Jesus went to them (NCV)

Jesus approached them

touched them: The Greek word that the BSB translates as touched indicates that Jesus put his hand on each of them briefly. It is the same sort of thing Jesus did when healing someone of a sickness.

Here is another way to translate this:

put/placed his hand on them

17:7b

“Get up,” He said. “Do not be afraid.”

and said, “Stand up. Do not be afraid.”
and said to them, “Do not fear. Get up”

Get up: The phrase Get up refers to someone getting up from the ground and standing. Here this word is a command.

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

Rise (ESV)

Stand up (NJB)

Do not be afraid: In modern English, this Greek phrase is usually translated as in the BSB.

General Comment on 17:7b

In some languages, it will be more natural to change the order of “rising” and “not fearing.” For example:

Don’t be afraid! Stand up!

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

εἶπεν, ἐγέρθητε καὶ μὴ φοβεῖσθε

˱he˲_said (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί προσῆλθεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς καί ἁψάμενος αὐτῶν εἶπεν Ἐγέρθητε καί μή φοβεῖσθε)

It may be more natural in your language to have an indirect quotation here. Alternate translation: [said that they should get up and not be afraid]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

ἐγέρθητε καὶ μὴ φοβεῖσθε

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί προσῆλθεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς καί ἁψάμενος αὐτῶν εἶπεν Ἐγέρθητε καί μή φοβεῖσθε)

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these two commands. Alternate translation: [Do not be afraid; get up]
