OET interlinear MARK 14:19

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἤρξαντο λυπεῖσθαι, καὶ

˱they˲_began /to_be_being/_sorrowed and

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. If you need to say who did the action, it is clear from the context that it was what Jesus said. Alternate translation: “What Jesus said began to grieve them, and they began”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

εἷς κατὰ εἷς

one one (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἤρξαντο λυπεῖσθαι καὶ λέγειν αὐτῷ εἷς καθʼ εἷς μήτι ἐγώ)

The phrase one by one indicates that each of the disciples spoke to Jesus in sequence. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “one at a time”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

μήτι ἐγώ?

surely_not I

Here the disciples could be using the question form: (1) to tell Jesus that they would never hand him over. In this case, you could express the idea as a statement or exclamation. Alternate translation: “I am not the one!” (2) to ask a hesitant question. In this case, they are unsure whether they would hand Jesus over. Alternate translation: “Can it really be me?”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

μήτι ἐγώ

surely_not I

The disciples are leaving out some of the words that a sentence would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: “Surely it is not I who will hand you over”
