OET interlinear MARK 8:27

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 / go

ἐξῆλθεν

came_out

In a context such as this, your language might say “came” instead of went. Alternate translation: “came out”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τὰς κώμας Καισαρείας τῆς Φιλίππου

the villages ˱of˲_Caesarea ¬which Philippi

Here, Jesus is using the possessive form to describe villages that are near the larger city of Caesarea Philippi. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “the villages that belonged to Caesarea Philippi” or “the villages that surrounded Caesarea Philippi”

Note 4 topic: writing-quotations

λέγων αὐτοῖς

saying ˱to˲_them

Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: “and he said to them” or “and he asked them”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

οἱ ἄνθρωποι

the the people

Although the term men is masculine, Jesus is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: “men and women”
