OET interlinear LUKE 13:1

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-time-background

δέ

and

Luke uses the word And to introduce background information that will help readers understand what Jesus teaches next. Alternate translation: “Now”

Note 2 topic: writing-participants

παρῆσαν & τινες ἐν αὐτῷ τῷ καιρῷ, ἀπαγγέλλοντες αὐτῷ

/were/_being_present & some at /the/_same ¬the time reporting ˱to˲_him

Luke uses this phrase to introduce new characters into the story. Alternate translation: “there were some people present at that time who were telling him”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

παρῆσαν & τινες ἐν αὐτῷ τῷ καιρῷ

/were/_being_present & some at /the/_same ¬the time

This implicitly means while Jesus was still teaching the crowds, as Luke said he was doing in 11:54. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “while he was still teaching the crowds, some of them were”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὧν τὸ αἷμα Πειλᾶτος ἔμιξεν μετὰ τῶν θυσιῶν αὐτῶν

˱of˲_whom the blood (Some words not found in SR-GNT: παρῆσαν δέ τινες ἐν αὐτῷ τῷ καιρῷ ἀπαγγέλλοντες αὐτῷ περὶ τῶν Γαλιλαίων ὧν τὸ αἷμα Πιλᾶτος ἔμιξεν μετὰ τῶν θυσιῶν αὐτῶν)

Luke is speaking about this event to indicate that the blood of the Galileans was shed at the same time as the blood of their animal sacrifices. Alternate translation: “whom Pilate had killed while they were offering sacrifices at the temple”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ὧν τὸ αἷμα Πειλᾶτος ἔμιξεν μετὰ τῶν θυσιῶν αὐτῶν

˱of˲_whom the blood (Some words not found in SR-GNT: παρῆσαν δέ τινες ἐν αὐτῷ τῷ καιρῷ ἀπαγγέλλοντες αὐτῷ περὶ τῶν Γαλιλαίων ὧν τὸ αἷμα Πιλᾶτος ἔμιξεν μετὰ τῶν θυσιῶν αὐτῶν)

Luke uses the term blood to refer to the death of these Galileans. Alternate translation: “whom Pilate had killed while they were offering sacrifices at the temple”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ὧν τὸ αἷμα Πειλᾶτος ἔμιξεν μετὰ τῶν θυσιῶν αὐτῶν

˱of˲_whom the blood (Some words not found in SR-GNT: παρῆσαν δέ τινες ἐν αὐτῷ τῷ καιρῷ ἀπαγγέλλοντες αὐτῷ περὶ τῶν Γαλιλαίων ὧν τὸ αἷμα Πιλᾶτος ἔμιξεν μετὰ τῶν θυσιῶν αὐτῶν)

Pilate likely did not kill these Galileans personally. Rather, he ordered his soldiers to kill them. Alternate translation: “whom Pilate’s soldiers had killed as they were offering sacrifices at the temple” or “whom Pilate had ordered his soldiers to kill as they were offering sacrifices at the temple”
