UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For introduces a reason why Jesus wants the disciples to be careful. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a reason or basis for an exhortation, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: “You should be careful because” or “Indeed,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

πολλοὶ & πολλοὺς

many & many

In both places, Jesus is using the adjective many as a noun to mean many people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “many men and women … many men and women”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἐλεύσονται

/will_be/_coming

In a context such as this, your language might say “go” instead of come. Alternate translation: “will go”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου

in the name ˱of˲_me

Here, the word name refers primarily to the person who has that name, and it focuses especially on that person’s authority. More specifically, Jesus could mean that: (1) these people claim to have the authority that Jesus properly has. Alternate translation: “in my authority” or “claiming to have the authority I have” (2) these people claim to represent Jesus. Alternate translation: “claiming to be my representatives” or “as if they were my representatives”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

λέγοντες, ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ Χριστός; καὶ

saying I am the Messiah and

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “saying that they are the Christ, and”

Note 6 topic: writing-quotations

λέγοντες

saying

If you keep the direct quotation, consider natural ways of introducing it in your language. Alternate translation: “and they will say”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

πολλοὺς πλανήσουσιν

many ˱they˲_/will_be/_misleading

See how you translated the similar expression in 24:4. Alternate translation: “will cause many to believe what is wrong”

Jerusalem during the New Testament

By the time of the New Testament, the ancient city of Jerusalem had been transformed from the relatively small fortress of David’s day (2 Samuel 5:6-10; 1 Chronicles 11:4-9) into a major city with a Temple that rivaled the greatest temples in the Roman world. Just prior to Jesus’ birth, Herod the Great completely renovated and expanded the Temple of the Lord, and he also built a lavish palace for himself, various pools (where Jesus occasionally performed healings), public buildings, and military citadels, including the Antonia Fortress, which overlooked the Temple. Wealthy residents, including the high priest, occupied extravagant houses in the Upper City, while the poorer residents were relegated to less desirable areas like the Lower City. The Essene Quarter was so named because many of its residents belonged to the Essenes, a strict religious sect that was known for its careful attention to the law of Moses. Across the Kidron Valley lay the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus often met with his disciples (Matthew 26:36-46; Mark 14:32-53; John 18:1-14). Further east was the Mount of Olives, where Jesus began his triumphal entry one week before his crucifixion (Matthew 21:1-11; Mark 11:1-11; Luke 19:28-40; John 12:12-19), taught his disciples about the last days (Matthew 24-25; Mark 13), and eventually ascended to heaven after his resurrection (Luke 24:50-53; Acts 1:1-11).
