OET interlinear MAT 22:28

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐν τῇ ἀναστάσει

in the resurrection

The Sadducees did not actually believe that there would be a resurrection. If it would be helpful in your language, you could indicate this explicitly. Alternate translation: “in the supposed resurrection” or “if there is a resurrection”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐν τῇ ἀναστάσει

in the resurrection

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of resurrection, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “when people resurrect”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

τῶν ἑπτὰ

˱of˲_the seven

The Sadducees are using the number seven as a noun to mean the seven brother. Your language may use numbers in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “of the seven brothers”

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For introduces a reason why the Sadducees ask their question. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a reason or basis for a question, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: “We ask this question because” or “This is a problem, since”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πάντες & ἔσχον αὐτήν

all & had her

Here the Sadducees imply that all the brothers had the woman as a wife. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “they all had her as a wife”
