OET interlinear 1COR 11:23

uW Translation Notes:

ἐγὼ & παρέλαβον ἀπὸ τοῦ Κυρίου, ὃ

I & received from the Lord what

This could refer to: (1) how Paul learned the tradition he is about to recount indirectly from the Lord. In other words, Paul learns about these things from others, who received the tradition directly from the Lord. Alternate translation: “from others who knew the Lord I received what the Lord himself did, which” (2) how Paul learned the tradition directly from the Lord. In other words, the Lord himself revealed this information to Paul. Alternate translation: “I received directly from the Lord what”

Note 1 topic: translate-unknown

ἐν τῇ νυκτὶ ᾗ

in the night which

Here, on the night states that the events that Paul will describe all happened “during” one specific night. Use a natural way to refer to “during the night” as the time in which the events occur. Alternate translation: “during the night when”

ἐν τῇ νυκτὶ ᾗ παρεδίδετο

in the night which ˱he˲_/was_being/_giving_over

Here Paul refers to the story about how Jesus was arrested. One of Jesus’ closest disciples, Judas Iscariot, made a deal with the religious leaders to “betray” Jesus to them (See: Matthew 26:14–16; Mark 14:10–11; Luke 22:3–6). After Jesus eats with his disciples and spends time praying, Judas leads the religious leaders to Jesus, and they arrest him (See: Matthew 26:47–50; Mark 14:43–46; Luke 22:47–48; John 18:2–12). Paul is not primarily interested in this part of the story, but he mentions it to explain when Jesus took bread. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express what on the night in which he was betrayed refers to with a footnote to explain the context or include some short, extra information. Alternate translation: “on the night in which he was handed over to die”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

παρεδίδετο

˱he˲_/was_being/_giving_over

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Paul uses the passive form here to focus on Jesus, who was betrayed, rather than focusing on the person doing the “betraying.” If you must state who did the action, Paul implies that “Judas Iscariot” did it. Alternate translation: “Judas betrayed him”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo

ὁ Κύριος Ἰησοῦς & ἔλαβεν ἄρτον

the Lord Jesus & took bread

Beginning here and continuing in 11:24–25, Paul tells the story of what is often called “The Last Supper.” This is Jesus’ last meal with his closest disciples before his death, and Paul narrates some things that he said and did during this last meal. Since Paul himself states the details, you should not need to state anything more explicitly than he does. The story of “The Last Supper” can also be found in Matthew 26:20–29; Mark 14:17–25; Luke 22:14–23.
