uW Translation Notes:

ἐροῦσιν ὑμῖν, ἰδοὺ, ἐκεῖ, ἤ, ἰδοὺ, ὧδε

˱they˲_˓will_be˒_saying ˱to˲_you_all (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἐροῦσιν ὑμῖν Ἰδού ἐκεῖ ἤ Ἰδού ὧδε μή ἀπέλθητε μηδέ διώξητε)

The implication in context is that Jesus is speaking of the Son of Man or Messiah. Alternate translation: [people will say to you, ‘Look, the Messiah is over there!’ or, ‘Look, the Messiah is over here]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

ἐροῦσιν ὑμῖν, ἰδοὺ, ἐκεῖ, ἤ, ἰδοὺ, ὧδε

˱they˲_˓will_be˒_saying ˱to˲_you_all (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἐροῦσιν ὑμῖν Ἰδού ἐκεῖ ἤ Ἰδού ὧδε μή ἀπέλθητε μηδέ διώξητε)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [people will tell you that the Messiah is over in one place or with them in another place]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἰδοὺ & ἰδοὺ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἐροῦσιν ὑμῖν Ἰδού ἐκεῖ ἤ Ἰδού ὧδε μή ἀπέλθητε μηδέ διώξητε)

These people would be using the term behold to get others to focus their attention on what they were saying. Alternate translation: [Hey … Hey]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

μὴ ἀπέλθητε μηδὲ διώξητε

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἐροῦσιν ὑμῖν Ἰδού ἐκεῖ ἤ Ἰδού ὧδε μή ἀπέλθητε μηδέ διώξητε)

The expressions go out and run after mean similar things. Jesus is likely using repetition for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could combine these terms into a single expression. Alternate translation: [Do not go where they tell you]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μὴ ἀπέλθητε μηδὲ διώξητε

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἐροῦσιν ὑμῖν Ἰδού ἐκεῖ ἤ Ἰδού ὧδε μή ἀπέλθητε μηδέ διώξητε)

The implication is that people would go to look for the Messiah. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [Do not go where they tell you to look for the Messiah]
