OET interlinear MAT 22:31

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

περὶ δὲ τῆς ἀναστάσεως τῶν νεκρῶν, οὐκ ἀνέγνωτε

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: περί Δέ τῆς ἀναστάσεως τῶν νεκρῶν οὐκ ἀνέγνωτε τό ῥηθέν ὑμῖν ὑπό τοῦ Θεοῦ λέγοντος)

The phrase But concerning introduces the next topic that Jesus wants to talk about. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next topic. Alternate translation: [Next, I will talk about the resurrection of the dead. Have you not read]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τῆς ἀναστάσεως τῶν νεκρῶν

the resurrection ˱of˲_the dead

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 the dead resurrect]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

τῶν νεκρῶν

˱of˲_the dead

Jesus is using the adjective dead as a noun in order to refer to people who are dead. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this with a noun phrase. Alternate translation: [of the dead people] or [of the corpses]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τὸ ῥηθὲν ὑμῖν ὑπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: περί Δέ τῆς ἀναστάσεως τῶν νεκρῶν οὐκ ἀνέγνωτε τό ῥηθέν ὑμῖν ὑπό τοῦ Θεοῦ λέγοντος)

If your language does not use this passive form, you can state this in active form. Alternate translation: [what God spoke to you]

Note 5 topic: writing-quotations

ὑπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ λέγοντος

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: περί Δέ τῆς ἀναστάσεως τῶν νεκρῶν οὐκ ἀνέγνωτε τό ῥηθέν ὑμῖν ὑπό τοῦ Θεοῦ λέγοντος)

Jesus introduces a quotation from an important text, in this case, the Old Testament book of Exodus (see [Exodus 3:6](../exo/03/06.md)). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase that indicates that Jesus is quoting from an important text. Alternate translation: [by God in the book of Exodus] or [by God in the Scriptures when he said]
