OET interlinear MAT 12:6

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

δὲ

but

Here, the word But introduces a slight contrast with what Jesus has said about how serving in the temple is an exception to keeping the Sabbath. In this verse, Jesus indicates that there is an even greater thing that provides an exception to keeping the Sabbath. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of contrast. Alternate translation: “And yet” or “But now”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo

μεῖζόν

greater_‹than›

Here, the word something is a very general term. It could refer to the kingdom of God, Jesus himself, the ministry that Jesus begins, what Jesus calls his disciples to do, or many other things. If possible, you should use a general term that could refer to many or all of these things. Alternate translation: “an entity greater than” or “a new thing greater than”
