OET interlinear MAT 24:11

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐγερθήσονται

˓will_be_being˒_raised

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who will do the action, it is clear from the context that it will be the false prophets themselves. Alternate translation: [will rise up]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἐγερθήσονται

˓will_be_being˒_raised

The phrase will be raised up refers to people beginning to do some task publicly. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [will appear] or [will start prophesying]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

καὶ πλανήσουσιν πολλούς

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί πολλοί ψευδοπροφῆται ἐγερθήσονται καί πλανήσουσιν πολλούς)

Jesus is speaking as if the prophets would literally lead people astray, that is, down the wrong path. He means that they will deceive people. If it would be helpful for your readers, you could state the meaning plainly. See how you expressed the idea [24:4](../24/04.md). Alternate translation: [will cause many to believe what is wrong]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

πολλούς

many

Jesus is using the adjective many as a noun to mean many people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [many men and women]
