OET (OET-LV) And they said:
The ones on_one_hand Yōannaʸs the immerser, on_the_other_hand others Aʸlias/(ʼĒliyyāh), on_the_other_hand others Yeremias/(Yirməyāh) or one of_the prophets.

OET (OET-RV) “Some say Yohan-the-immerser come back to life,” they answered, “but others say the promised prophet Eliyah, and others, Jeremiah or one of the other prophets.”

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 16:13–20: Peter declared that Jesus is the Christ

In this section, Peter declared that Jesus is the Messiah. Jesus agreed with Peter that he was the Messiah. But then he told the disciples that they must not yet tell this truth to other people. Jesus also described the community which he was creating—the church. And he told them that Peter would have a very important part in it.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Peter’s Confession of Christ (NIV)

Peter declared his belief that Jesus is the Messiah

There are parallel passages for this section in Mark 8:27–30 and Luke 9:18–22.

Paragraph 16:13–16

The story in 16:13–16 began sometime after the story in 16:5–12 ended. The Greek text does not say how much time passed between these two stories. In some languages, it is natural to begin a story with a time word or phrase. If your language does that, use an expression here that is not too specific. For example:

Then

16:14a–c

Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets: The disciples’ answer indicates that the people thought that Jesus was a prophet. They also thought that he was a prophet who had already died and had come back to life.

The ideas that the people had about Jesus show that no one was quite sure who he was. Many Jews thought that at the end of the world, God would raise up certain prophets for special reasons. Since people thought that Jesus was one of these prophets, they must have expected the end to come soon. But they apparently were not clear exactly who he was or what role he would play.

If people in your area are not familiar with these prophets, you may want to:

16:14a

They replied, “Some say John the Baptist;

Some say: The words “you are” are implied. In some languages, it may be natural to make these words explicit. For example:

Some people say that you are

Certain people think that you are

John the Baptist: You should translate John the Baptist here as you did in 3:1a.

16:14b

others say Elijah;

others say: These words indicate that people had different ideas about who Jesus was. A second group of people thought that Jesus was the prophet Elijah.

The words “you are” are implied. In some languages, it may be natural to make these words explicit. For example:

other people say/think that you are

Elijah: Elijah was a prophet who lived more than 500 years before Jesus. In some languages, it may be natural to make this more explicit. For example:

the prophet Elijah

16:14c

and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”

and still others: These words indicate that there was a third opinion. A third group of people thought that Jesus was the prophet Jeremiah or one of the other prophets. In English, one way to indicate a third group is with the word still like the BSB.

The words “you are” are implied. In some languages, it may be natural to make these words explicit. For example:

and other people say/think that you are

Jeremiah: Jeremiah was a prophet who lived more than 500 years before Jesus. In some languages, it may be natural to make this more explicit. For example:

the prophet Jeremiah

or one of the prophets: John the Baptist, Elijah and Jeremiah were prophets. So this phrase refers to other prophets.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

some other prophet (CEV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

(Occurrence 2) οἱ & Ἰωάννην τὸν Βαπτιστήν; ἄλλοι δὲ Ἠλείαν; ἕτεροι δὲ Ἰερεμίαν ἢ ἕνα τῶν προφητῶν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἱ Δέ εἶπον Οἱ μέν Ἰωάννην τόν Βαπτιστήν ἄλλοι δέ Ἠλίαν ἕτεροι δέ Ἰερεμίαν ἤ ἕνα τῶν προφητῶν)

Since all these people and prophets had died before the disciples answered this question, the disciples are implying that people think that Jesus is one of these people who has come back to life. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [Some, John the Baptist come back to life; and some, Elijah come back to life; and others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets come back to life]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

(Occurrence 2) οἱ & Ἰωάννην τὸν Βαπτιστήν; ἄλλοι δὲ Ἠλείαν; ἕτεροι δὲ Ἰερεμίαν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἱ Δέ εἶπον Οἱ μέν Ἰωάννην τόν Βαπτιστήν ἄλλοι δέ Ἠλίαν ἕτεροι δέ Ἰερεμίαν ἤ ἕνα τῶν προφητῶν)

The disciples are leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from the previous verse if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [Some say John the Baptist; and some say Elijah; and others say Jeremiah]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

(Occurrence 2) οἱ & ἄλλοι & ἕτεροι

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἱ Δέ εἶπον Οἱ μέν Ἰωάννην τόν Βαπτιστήν ἄλλοι δέ Ἠλίαν ἕτεροι δέ Ἰερεμίαν ἤ ἕνα τῶν προφητῶν)

The disciples are using the adjectives Some, some, and others as nouns to mean various groups of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate these words with equivalent phrases. Alternate translation: [Some among the people … some among the people … others among the people]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἕνα τῶν προφητῶν

one ˱of˲_the prophets

Here the disciples are not excluding John the Baptist, Elijah, or Jeremiah from the group of the prophets. Instead, they are referring to the many other prophets that God had sent. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [another one of the prophets]
