OET (OET-RV)

[ref]So the crowd queried him, “We heard from the scriptures that the messiah will stay until the end of the age so why do you say that humanity’s child will be lifted up. And who is this ‘humanity’s child’?”

12:34: Psa 110:4; Isa 9:7; Eze 37:25; Dan 7:14.

OET-LVTherefore the crowd answered to_him:
We heard out_of the law that the chosen_one/messiah is_remaining to the age, and how are_saying you that it_is_fitting the son of_ the _man to_be_exalted?
Who is this the son of_ the _Man?

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

12:34 Popular Judaism believed that the Messiah would live forever and triumph over his foes. Jesus’ point of view seemed incomprehensible.
• who is this Son of Man, anyway? The Jews did not understand what sort of Messiah planned to die.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

ὁ ὄχλος

the crowd

See how you translated crowd in 5:13.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

τοῦ νόμου

the law

The crowd is using the name of the first part of the Hebrew Scriptures, the law, to represent the entire Hebrew Scriptures in general. See how you translated this use of the law in 10:34. Alternate translation: “the Scriptures”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

δεῖ ὑψωθῆναι τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου

˱it˲_/is/_fitting /to_be/_exalted the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man

Here, the phrase lifted up means “crucified.” If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “it is necessary for the Son of Man to be crucified”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου & ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου

the the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man & ¬the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man

See how you translated the Son of Man in 1:51.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τίς ἐστιν οὗτος ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου

who is this ¬the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man

This could mean: (1) they are asking to know the identity of the Son of Man. Alternate translation: “What is the identity of this Son of Man?” (2) they are asking to know what Jesus means when he says, ‘Son of Man.’ Alternate translation: “What kind of Son of Man are you talking about?”
