Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

δὲ

but

Here, the word But introduces what Jesus wants his disciples to do in contrast to what the scribes and the Pharisees do. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of contrast, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: [In contrast,] or [Unlike them,]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ὑμεῖς & μὴ κληθῆτε Ῥαββεί; εἷς γάρ ἐστιν ὑμῶν ὁ καθηγητὴς, πάντες δὲ ὑμεῖς ἀδελφοί ἐστε

you_all & not /may_be/_called you_all & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὑμεῖς δὲ μὴ κληθῆτε Ῥαββί εἷς γάρ ἐστιν ὑμῶν ὁ καθηγητὴς πάντες δὲ ὑμεῖς ἀδελφοί ἐστε)

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these clauses, since the second and third clauses give the reason for the result that the first clause describes. Alternate translation: [one is your teacher, and you are all brothers, so you should not be called ‘Rabbi’]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ὑμεῖς & μὴ κληθῆτε

you_all & not /may_be/_called

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: [you should not have people call you]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

εἷς

one

Jesus is using the adjective one as a noun to mean one person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [one person]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

εἷς

one

Here Jesus implies that the one teacher whom they have is he himself. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [one, by which I mean me,]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἀδελφοί

brothers

Jesus is using the term brothers to mean people who share the same faith. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [fellow disciples]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ἀδελφοί

brothers

Although the term brothers is masculine, Jesus is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If you retain the metaphor in your translation, and if it would be helpful in your language, you could say “brothers and sisters” to indicate this.
