18:1-35 This fourth major discourse in Matthew (see study note on Matt 5:1–7:29) focuses on responses to the Messiah—acceptance by the disciples and rejection by the Jewish leaders and most of the populace. In light of this growing polarization, Jesus began to instruct his followers on the nature of community life. For a community to live according to Jesus’ standards, it must live with humility (18:1-5), sensitivity (18:6-9), compassion (18:10-14), discipline (18:15-18), and forgiveness (18:21-35). As with the other discourses, a concluding formula (19:1-2) bridges to the next section.
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-condition-hypothetical
ἐὰν γένηται εὑρεῖν αὐτό & χαίρει
if ˱he˲_/may/_become /to/_find it & ˱he˲_/is/_rejoicing
Jesus is suggesting that this is a hypothetical condition, that the man might find that sheep that went astray. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a situation that could happen. Alternate translation: [were he to find it … he would rejoice]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
ὑμῖν
˱to˲_you_all
The word you is plural because Jesus is speaking to his disciples.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
μᾶλλον ἢ ἐπὶ
more than over
Jesus is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [more than he rejoices over]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
τοῖς ἐνενήκοντα ἐννέα
the ninety nine
Jesus is using the number 99 as a noun to mean 99 sheep. Your language may use numbers in the same way. If not, you could translate this one with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [the 99 sheep]
