Behold, here is the chosen_one/messiah, or Here he_is, you_all_may_ not _believe it.
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-condition-fact
τότε ἐάν τις ὑμῖν εἴπῃ
then if anyone ˱to˲_you_all /may/_say
Jesus speaks as if this were a hypothetical situation, but he means that it will happen. If your language does not state something as a condition if it is certain or true, and if your readers might think that what Jesus is saying is uncertain, then you could translate his words as an affirmative statement. Alternate translation: “Then, although some people will say to you”
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-time-simultaneous
τότε
then
Here, the word Then could introduce something that will happen: (1) during the events that Jesus has been describing. Alternate translation: “During that time,” (2) after the events that Jesus has been describing. Alternate translation: “After that time,”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
ὑμῖν εἴπῃ, ἰδοὺ, ὧδε ὁ Χριστός, ἤ ὧδε, μὴ πιστεύσητε
˱to˲_you_all /may/_say behold here_‹is› the Messiah or here_‹he_is› not ˱you_all˲_/may/_believe_‹it›
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “says to you that you should look because the Christ is there or there, you should not believe it”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations
ἰδοὺ
behold
Here, the word behold draws the attention of the audience and asks them to look at something. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express behold with a word or phrase that asks the audience to look, or you could draw the audience’s attention in another way. Alternate translation: “Look” or “Pay attention”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
(Occurrence 2) ὧδε
here_‹he_is›
The person speaking is 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 earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “Here is the Christ”
24:1-31 Some believe chapter 24 pertains to the return of Christ at the end of history. Others view the chapter as a prediction of the events of AD 70, when Jerusalem and the Temple were destroyed by the Romans. Others believe it refers to both. See also study notes on Mark 13.
OET (OET-LV) Then if anyone may_say to_you_all:

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
