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 12:1–12: Jesus told a parable about some evil grape farmers

In 11:28 the Jewish religious leaders asked Jesus two questions about his authority. In this section Jesus used a parable to answer those question in an indirect way. The Jewish leaders showed that they understood this parable by the way they responded in 12:12.

Jesus’ parable was about a man who owned a grape farm. He told some men to farm it for him and to give him a share of the profit. However, the men refused to give the owner his share. They even mistreated his servants who came to collect the money. When the owner sent his own son, they killed him.

Jesus used the people in the parable to represent the Jewish religious leaders and their actions toward God and toward himself, God’s son. Here are the most likely meanings of the different people and things in the parable:See Ray Summers, Commentary on Luke: Jesus, the Universal Savior, 1972, on the parallel passage in Luke 20:9–19.

The owner of the grape farm	represents	God
The grape farm	represents	Israel and its people
The grape farmers	represent	the Jewish religious leaders
The servants	represent	God’s messengers or prophets
The son	represents	Jesus

It is good to translate this section before you decide on a heading for it.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

The parable of the vineyard and its farmers

The Parable of the Tenants in the Vineyard (GNT)

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 21:33–46 and Luke 20:9–19.

12:8a

So they seized the son, killed him,

So they grabbed him and killed him,
They all agreed to do this, so they seized the son and murdered him.

So: The Greek word that the BSB translates as So is the simple connector that is often translated as “and.” It introduces what the grape farmers did as a result of what they had discussed. They did what they had decided to do. Connect 12:7 and 12:8 in a natural way in your language. In some languages a connector may not be needed.

they seized the son: The farmers seized the son in order to kill him.

Here are some other ways to translate seized the son:

grabbed him (NLT)

took him (NIV)

took hold of him

killed him: The farmers murdered the son. This was an illegal act. If there is an expression in your language that refers specifically to murder, it would be appropriate here.

12:8b

and threw him out of the vineyard.

and they threw his body/corpse out of the grape farm.
Then they threw his dead body outside the farm.

and threw him out of the vineyard: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as threw him out indicates that the farmers threw the son’s body out of the grape farm.

Proper burial was very important to the Jewish people. The farmers threw the son’s body out of the grape farm and did not give him a proper burial. This showed that they completely rejected the owner of the grape farm.
