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.

Section 6:1–6a: The people of Jesus’ hometown did not believe in him

When Jesus came to Nazareth, his hometown, he began to teach in the synagogue. The people were amazed by his wisdom and the miracles that he did. However, they thought that Jesus was only an ordinary person and a carpenter. So they refused to accept that God had given him such extraordinary wisdom and power. Instead, they rejected him and the words that he said.

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

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

A Prophet Without Honor (NIV)

Jesus Is Rejected at Nazareth (GNT)

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 13:53–58 and Luke 4:16–30. See also John 4:44, 6:42.

6:1a

Jesus went on from there

¶ Then Jesus went away from there
¶ After that, Jesus left that place.

This verse is the beginning of a new section. The events in this section happened sometime after the events in the preceding section. The Greek text does not indicate how much time passed between these two stories.

If it is natural in your language to begin a story with a time word or phrase, use an expression that is not too specific. For example:

After that

Then (JBP)

In some languages, a time word or phrase is not necessary. Introduce this part of the story in a natural way in your language.

Jesus went on from there: The clause Jesus went on from there does two things:

it connects this story with the preceding story in Mark 5
it introduces a new event.

there: The word there may refer to the house of the synagogue ruler (in 5:38) or to the town where Jesus was at the end of Mark 5. It is best to use a word or phrase that can include both, as the BSB and other English versions do. For example, the GNT says:

Jesus left that place

6:1b

and came to His hometown,

and came to the town he had lived in while he was growing up.
He went to the town where he had lived as a child.

hometown: In this context, the word that the BSB translates as hometown refers to the place where Jesus lived with his parents while he was young. This was Nazareth (see 1:9, 1:24).

It was not Bethlehem, where he was born. Therefore, you should not translate the word hometown as the town where he was born. It was also not the place where he normally lived (which was Capernaum; see 2:1; 3:19). You should also be careful not to translate this word in a way that could refer to land that he owned.

6:1c

accompanied by His disciples.

His disciples went with him.
His followers went along with him.

accompanied by His disciples: The Greek clause that the BSB translates as accompanied by His disciples is literally “his disciples followed him” (as in the RSV).

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

his followers went with him (NCV)

with his disciples (CEV)

disciples: The Greek word that the BSB translates as disciples means “learners” who are in a relationship with a teacher. The learners commit themselves to their teacher in order to learn from him and live according to his teaching and example. In the New Testament disciples often lived with their teacher and followed him wherever he went.

Here are some ways to translate disciple:

Use a term that refers to someone who learns from a teacher or an expert. It is helpful if the term also implies that the learner is often with his teacher. For example:
learner/student
apprentice Be careful not to use a term that would refer only to a student in a school or classroom.
Use a term that refers to someone who follows a teacher or leader by obeying his teaching. It is helpful if this term also implies learning from the teacher and actually following the teacher wherever he goes. For example:
follower
one who is committed/faithful (to a teacher/leader)

See disciple in the Glossary.

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

καὶ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἐξῆλθεν ἐκεῖθεν καί ἔρχεται εἰς τήν πατρίδα αὐτοῦ καί ἀκολουθοῦσιν αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταί αὐτοῦ)

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: [Later,] or [Then]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἐξῆλθεν & ἔρχεται

˱he˲_came_out & ˱he˲_˓is˒_coming

In a context such as this, your language might say “came” instead of went or “goes” instead of comes. Alternate translation: [he came out … goes]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐκεῖθεν

from_there

Here, the word there refers to the house of Jairus, the synagogue ruler. His house was in the town of Capernaum. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [from Jairus’ house] or [from Capernaum]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὴν πατρίδα αὐτοῦ

Here, the phrase his hometown refers to the town of Nazareth, where Jesus grew up. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [his hometown, Nazareth]
