TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

The Stone the Builders Rejected

Jesus continually offended the Jewish leaders and those who followed them. Though he was born in David’s line, his mother’s reputation was tainted (Matt 1:18-25). Jesus himself was from Nazareth (Matt 2:23), a very unprestigious place (see Matt 13:53-58). His ministry was in Galilee, a backwater distant from official Judaism (see Matt 4:12-16). His closest associate was the inexplicable John, who baptized people and prophetically castigated the political leaders (Matt 11:2-19; 14:3-12). Jesus was evasive in his dialogues (e.g., Matt 13:10-15; 17:24-27; 19:3-12; 21:23-27), he refused to produce signs proving his messianic claims (12:38-42; 16:1-4), and he was accompanied by outcasts of society (9:9-13; 11:16-19). He offended Jewish sensibilities, disregarded Jewish traditions (5:17-20; 9:14-17; 12:1-14; 15:1-20; 21:12-13), and purposefully avoided recognition (8:4; 12:15-21). His revelations were reserved for the unlikely (11:25-27; 13:16-17; 16:13-20), and he often spoke of his own humiliating death (16:21; 17:22-23; 20:18-19; 26:2). Jesus did not come with the flash and spark of someone in need of attention, nor did he make his status and calling glowingly obvious. Instead, he chose the path of humility, privacy, and revelation recognized by faith.

In the end, Jesus was vindicated: He won arguments (Luke 20:20-40), exorcized demons (Matt 8:28-34), healed wondrously (Matt 9:1-8), raised people from the dead (Matt 9:18-26), and ultimately rose from the dead himself (Matt 28:1-10). His divisive but effective ministry inaugurated God’s Kingdom (Matt 11:2-6).

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

διὰ τοῦτο

because_of this

Here, the phrase For this reason introduces an inference based on the parable that Jesus has told and the quotation in the previous verse.. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of inference. Alternate translation: [Because of that,] or [Therefore,]

λέγω ὑμῖν

˱I˲_/am/_saying ˱to˲_you_all

Jesus uses the clause I say to you to emphasize what he is telling the chief priests and elders. Use a natural form in your language for emphasizing the truth and importance of a statement. Alternate translation: [I want you to know]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἀρθήσεται ἀφ’ ὑμῶν ἡ Βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ δοθήσεται ἔθνει

/will_be_being/_taken_away from you_all the Kingdom ¬the ˱of˲_God and ˱it˲_/will_be_being/_given ˱to˲_/a/_people

Here Jesus speaks as if the kingdom of God were an object that could be taken away and given. He means that the ability to be part of God’s kingdom will be taken away and given. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable image or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the ability to be in the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and will be given to a nation] or [the kingdom of God will no longer accept you and will accept a nation]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἀρθήσεται ἀφ’ ὑμῶν ἡ Βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ δοθήσεται

/will_be_being/_taken_away from you_all the Kingdom ¬the ˱of˲_God and ˱it˲_/will_be_being/_given

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 will do the action, it is clear from the context that it will be God. Alternate translation: [God will take away his kingdom from you and give it]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ποιοῦντι τοὺς καρποὺς αὐτῆς

producing the fruits ˱of˲_it

Here, Jesus speaks of how people behave as if they were plants that produced fruit. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [acting in its ways] or [perform its deeds]

Note 5 topic: writing-pronouns

τοὺς καρποὺς αὐτῆς

the fruits ˱of˲_it

The pronoun its refers to the kingdom of God. If this is not clear for your readers, you could refer to the kingdom more directly. Alternate translation: [the kingdom’s fruits]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τοὺς καρποὺς αὐτῆς

the fruits ˱of˲_it

Here, Jesus is using the possessive form to describe fruits that are appropriate for the kingdom. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: [fruits appropriate for it] or [fruits that are required for those who are in the kingdom]
