UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

καὶ ἐποίησεν τοὺς δώδεκα: καὶ

and ˱he˲_established the twelve and

Here Mark repeats a phrase that he already used in 3:14. He does not mean that Jesus appointed the Twelve again. Rather, he is using this phrase to introduce who these Twelve were. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “Here are the names of the Twelve that he appointed:”

Note 2 topic: translate-textvariants

καὶ ἐποίησεν τοὺς δώδεκα

and ˱he˲_established the twelve

Many ancient manuscripts read And he appointed the Twelve. The ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts do not include these words. If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

τοὺς δώδεκα

the twelve

Mark is using the adjective Twelve as a noun to refer to Jesus’ closest disciples. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “the 12 apostles” or “the 12 men whom Jesus had chosen to be apostles”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

καὶ ἐπέθηκεν ὄνομα τῷ Σίμωνι, Πέτρον

and and ˱he˲_added_on /the/_name ¬the ˱to˲_Simon Peter

Here Mark introduces the first person in the list of the Twelve, and he clarifies that Jesus gave a new name to Simon: Peter. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form that indicates both that Simon is the first in the list of twelve men and that Jesus named him Peter. Alternate translation: “and they were Simon, to whom he gave the name Peter”
