MAT 20:18 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 20:17–19: Jesus said again that he will die

In this section, Jesus predicted his death a third time. Each time Jesus said that he would die (16:21, 17:23 and here), he also said that he would become alive again. This time, he further predicted that the Romans would crucify him.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Jesus again predicted his death and resurrection

Jesus spoke a third time about others killing him

There are parallel passages for this section in Mark 10:32–34 and Luke 18:31–34.

20:18a

“Look, we are going up to Jerusalem,

“Look, we^(incl) are going up to Jerusalem,
“We^(incl) are going to Jerusalem.

Look: The Greek word that the BSB translates as Look draws attention to the words that follow. If it is natural in your language to use such a word or phrase, you may want to include it here. Here are some examples:

See (ESV)

Listen (GNT)

Pay attention to this

Some English versions do not translate this word. For example:

We are going up to Jerusalem (NIV)

In some languages, it may not be natural to translate this word either.

we are going up to Jerusalem: The Greek verb that the BSB translates as going up is the same verb as in 20:17a. You should use the same verb here.

20:18b

and the Son of Man will be delivered over

and the Son of Man will be put into the hands
There, someone will hand/give me, the Son of Man over

the Son of Man: Jesus used the phrase the Son of Man to refer to himself. In some languages, it may be necessary to add the pronoun “I” to show that Jesus was referring to himself. For example:

I, the Son of Man

In Matthew, this phrase first occurs in 8:20b. See the Note there for more information on translating it. This phrase last occurred in 19:28c.

will be delivered over: The Greek word that the BSB translates as delivered over means “handed over to the power of someone else.” It often refers to a person being betrayed and delivered to his enemies.

Here are some other ways to translate this verb:

will be betrayed (NIV)

will be handed over (GNT)

This is a passive verb. Here the text does not specify who would betray Jesus. From later in Matthew, it is clear that Judas would betray Jesus. This would fulfill God’s plan. However, you should not make Judas explicit here. If you need to use an active verb, translate in a general way. For example:

someone is going to betray

This same verb occurs in 17:22b.

20:18c

to the chief priests and scribes.

of the leaders of the priests and the teachers of the Law of Moses.
to the leading priests and the teachers of religious law.

chief priests: A priest was a religious leader who offered sacrifices to God for the people. Jewish priests led the people in worship at the temple in Jerusalem. The phrase chief priests refers to the leaders among these priests.

Here are some other ways to translate chief priests:

Use a descriptive term that focuses on the duty of priests. For example:
the leaders of the sacrificers
the elders among the men who offer sacrifices to God
the leaders of those who represent people to God
Use a local word for priest. This option may be acceptable if the duties of a local priest are similar to those of a Jewish priest. You may need to indicate that the word refers to a Jewish priest. For example:
Jewish people’s leading priests/sacrificers

The term chief priests also occurs in 16:21c. You should translate it here as you did there.

scribes: The Greek word that the BSB translates as scribes refers to men who studied, interpreted, and taught the law of Moses. These men were called scribes because their original work was to copy the laws of Moses by hand. (A scribe is someone who copies manuscripts.) In New Testament times, this was no longer their main task.

Here are some other ways to translate this term:

teachers of the Law of Moses (CEV)

teachers of religious law (NLT)

teachers of the law (NIV)

experts in the law

Translate this term in the same way as you did in 12:38a, 15:1a, and 16:21c.

20:18d

They will condemn Him to death

Then they will sentence him to die.
They will judge him/me as guilty and give a punishment of death.

They will condemn Him to death: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as condemn Him means “will judge him guilty.” The addition of the phrase to death means that the punishment that they would give Jesus would be that he should die.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

They will sentence him to die (NLT)

they will say that he must die (NCV)

they will judge him as guilty of breaking the law and give a punishment of death

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἰδού ἀναβαίνομεν εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα καί ὁ Υἱός τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου παραδοθήσεται τοῖς ἀρχιερεῦσιν καί γραμματεῦσιν καί κατακρινοῦσιν αὐτόν θανάτῳ)

The word Behold draws the attention of the disciples and asks them to listen carefully. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express behold with a word or phrase that asks the audience to listen, or you could draw the audience’s attention in another way. Alternate translation: [Listen] or [Pay attention:]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου & αὐτὸν & αὐτὸν & σταυρῶσαι & ἀναστήσεται

the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἰδού ἀναβαίνομεν εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα καί ὁ Υἱός τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου παραδοθήσεται τοῖς ἀρχιερεῦσιν καί γραμματεῦσιν καί κατακρινοῦσιν αὐτόν θανάτῳ)

Here Jesus speaks about himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the first person. Alternate translation: [I, who am the Son of Man, … me … me … to crucify me … I will be raised up]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἀναβαίνομεν

˱we˲_˓are˒_going_up

Jesus is using the pronoun we to refer to himself and the disciples, so use the inclusive form of that word if your language marks that distinction.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἀναβαίνομεν

˱we˲_˓are˒_going_up

In a context such as this, your language might say “coming” instead of going. Alternate translation: [we are coming up]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου παραδοθήσεται

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 did the action, you could use an indefinite subject. Alternate translation: [someone will hand the Son of Man over]
