The article presents some observations on the problems of translating Mt 28:16-20 with reference to its wording in Czech translations. Fifteen different Czech translations of the New Testament were consulted. The choice of Mt 28:16-20, which is a concluding passage of the Matthew's gospel, was determined, not only by personal interest, but also by its relevance. This text is regarded as an interpretative key to the whole Matthew gospel. In each verse, attention is paid to the main problematical words or phrases that are explained from morphological and syntactical points of view and with reference to the wording in various Czech translations. This article does not present a definitive and unambiguous resolution of the translation of Mt 28:16-20. Its purpose is, above all, to point out the variety of translations of the New Testament into the Czech language and, at the same time, to show that the problems of translating the Holy Scripture into our native language has a constant relevance.

The final words of Jesus crucified in the synoptics come from the Book of Psalms. According to the synoptics Jesus dies with a prayer on his lips. In Mark and Matthew, his last words are the citation from Psalm 22:2 and in Luke the citation from Psalm 31:6. This article analyzes four areas: psalm verse in the context of the relevant Biblical Psalms; wider and immediate context of the last words in the synoptics; comparison of the wording of the verses in LXX and in the Greek text of the NT; the importance of the last words in the synoptics. The article shows that Jesus’ last words before his death in Mark highlight the theme of abandonment and helplessness; in the context of Matthew are expressions of Jesus forsaken, who dies on the cross, but it is not completely helpless; and in Luke emphasize the dimension of surrender.
