9:35 Jesus sat down, assuming the role of a teacher (see 4:1-2; 12:41; Matt 5:1; Luke 4:20; 5:3). True greatness in God’s Kingdom involves being the servant of everyone else, not the master, as Jesus would make clear by his own example in Mark 10:45.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
καθίσας
/having/_sat_down
In Jesus’ culture, teachers usually sat down when they were going to teach. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “having sat down to instruct them” or “having sat down as a teacher does”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
τοὺς δώδεκα
the twelve
See how you translated the phrase the Twelve in 3:16. Alternate translation: “the 12 apostles” or “the 12 men whom Jesus had chosen to be apostles”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
εἴ τις θέλει πρῶτος εἶναι, ἔσται πάντων ἔσχατος
if anyone /is/_wanting first to_be ˱he˲_will_be ˱of˲_all last
Being first refers to people who are esteemed by others because of their social position, wealth, and privileges. Being last refers to people who are not esteemed by others, because they lack social position, wealth, and privileges. Jesus speaks of being the “most important” as being first and of being the “least important” as being last. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “If anyone wants to be respected, he will be the least respected of all” or “If anyone wants to be significant, he will be the least significant of all”
Note 4 topic: translate-ordinal
πρῶτος
first
If your language does not use ordinal numbers such as first, you can express the meaning behind the word first in a way that would be natural in your language. Alternate translation: “number one”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative
ἔσται πάντων ἔσχατος καὶ πάντων διάκονος
˱he˲_will_be ˱of˲_all last and ˱of˲_all servant
Jesus is using a future statement to give an instruction. If it would be helpful in your language, you can use a more natural form for instruction. Alternate translation: “he must act like the last of all and a servant of all”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
πάντων & πάντων
˱of˲_all & ˱of˲_all
Jesus is using the adjective all as a noun to mean all people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “of all people … of all people”
