OET interlinear LUKE 22:49

uW Translation Notes:

οἱ περὶ αὐτὸν

the_‹ones› around him

The expression the ones around him refers to Jesus' disciples. Alternate translation: “Jesus’ disciples, who were around him,”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸ ἐσόμενον

what going_to_‹be›

If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state more explicitly what this means. Alternate translation: “that the Jewish leaders and soldiers who had come were going to arrest Jesus”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

εἰ πατάξομεν ἐν μαχαίρῃ

¬if ˱we˲_/will_be/_striking with /the/_sword

This was an idiomatic way to ask a question. Alternate translation: “should we strike with the sword”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

εἰ πατάξομεν ἐν μαχαίρῃ

¬if ˱we˲_/will_be/_striking with /the/_sword

The disciples may be asking specifically not about what weapon to use, but generally whether they should fight back to prevent Jesus from being arrested. In that case they would be using one kind of weapon, a sword, to mean fighting in general. The disciples said in 22:38 that they had two swords, but they could also have resisted by further means. Alternate translation: “should we fight to defend you”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

εἰ πατάξομεν ἐν μαχαίρῃ

¬if ˱we˲_/will_be/_striking with /the/_sword

Alternatively, the disciples may implicitly be asking whether this was the kind of occasion for which Jesus told them in 22:38 that they should have swords. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: “you told us we should have swords; should we use them now”
