OET interlinear LUKE 4:23

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

πάντως ἐρεῖτέ μοι τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην, ἰατρέ, θεράπευσον σεαυτόν; ὅσα ἠκούσαμεν γενόμενα εἰς τὴν Καφαρναοὺμ, ποίησον καὶ ὧδε ἐν τῇ πατρίδι σου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί εἶπεν πρός αὐτούς Πάντως ἐρεῖτε μοί τήν παραβολήν ταύτην Ἰατρέ θεράπευσον σεαυτόν ὅσα ἠκούσαμεν γενόμενα εἰς τήν Καφαρναούμ ποίησον καί ὧδε ἐν τῇ πατρίδι σοῦ)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [Surely you will quote the proverb to me that tells a doctor to heal himself, to ask me to do the same things here in my hometown that you heard happened in Capernaum]

Note 2 topic: writing-proverbs

ἰατρέ, θεράπευσον σεαυτόν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί εἶπεν πρός αὐτούς Πάντως ἐρεῖτε μοί τήν παραβολήν ταύτην Ἰατρέ θεράπευσον σεαυτόν ὅσα ἠκούσαμεν γενόμενα εἰς τήν Καφαρναούμ ποίησον καί ὧδε ἐν τῇ πατρίδι σοῦ)

Jesus anticipates that the people will want to see him do miracles to prove his credibility. He uses a short popular saying of the culture to express this. This saying expresses a great deal of meaning in a few words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could expand it to make clear to your readers what it means. Alternate translation: [If a doctor cannot heal himself of a certain disease, then people will not believe that he can heal them of it]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὅσα ἠκούσαμεν γενόμενα εἰς τὴν Καφαρναοὺμ, ποίησον καὶ ὧδε ἐν τῇ πατρίδι σου

Jesus then explains how the short saying applies to this situation. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explicitly state the implications of his explanation. Alternate translation: [We will not believe the things you say unless you could do the same kind of miracles here that we heard you did in Capernaum]
