OET interlinear MARK 7:1

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

καὶ

and

Here, the word And introduces the next major event in the story. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next event, or you could leave And untranslated. Alternate translation: “Sometime later,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

συνάγονται πρὸς αὐτὸν οἱ Φαρισαῖοι καί τινες τῶν γραμματέων, ἐλθόντες ἀπὸ Ἱεροσολύμων

/are_being/_gathered_together to him the Pharisees and some ˱of˲_the scribes /having/_come from Jerusalem

Here Mark could be implying that: (1) both the Pharisees and the scribes came from Jerusalem. Alternate translation: “having come from Jerusalem, the Pharisees and some of the scribes are being gathered to him” (2) only the scribes came from Jerusalem. Alternate translation: “the Pharisees and some of the scribes who came from Jerusalem are being gathered to him”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἐλθόντες

/having/_come

In a context such as this, your language might say “gone” instead of come. Alternate translation: “having gone”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

συνάγονται

/are_being/_gathered_together

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “are gathering” or “are coming together”
