TSNTyndale Study Notes:

10:1-2 The Pharisees’ question about divorce was much debated in Judaism, but it had a hostile purpose as they tried to trap Jesus (see 2:16, 18, 24; 7:5; 8:11; 12:13). John the Baptist was beheaded over his teaching that Herod Antipas’s divorce and remarriage was unlawful (6:18-19), and according to the Jewish historian Josephus, John was martyred close to Jesus’ current location east of the Jordan River, at Herod Antipas’s fortress at Machaerus (see 6:28; Josephus, Antiquities 18.5.2). If Jesus answered in agreement with John the Baptist, the Pharisees could indict him before Herod. But if Jesus said that divorce was lawful, he would be contradicting a prophet.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

αὐτὸν, εἰ ἔξεστιν ἀνδρὶ γυναῖκα ἀπολῦσαι? πειράζοντες αὐτόν

him ¬If ˱it˲_/is/_permitting ˱for˲_/a/_husband /a/_wife /to/_send_away testing him

It may be more natural in your language to have a direct quotation here. Alternate translation: [him, ‘Is it lawful for a husband to divorce his wife?’ testing him]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

πειράζοντες αὐτόν

testing him

Here, the word testing introduces the purpose for which the Pharisees asked Jesus this question. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a purpose. Alternate translation: [which they asked to test him] or [with the goal of testing him]
