OET interlinear MAT 26:51

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἰδοὺ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἰδού εἱς τῶν μετά Ἰησοῦ ἐκτείνας τήν χεῖρα ἀπέσπασεν τήν μάχαιραν αὐτοῦ καί πατάξας τόν δοῦλον τοῦ ἀρχιερέως ἀφεῖλεν αὐτοῦ τό ὠτίον)

The word behold draws the attention of the audience and asks them to listen carefully. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express behold with a word or phrase that asks the audience to listen, or you could draw the audience’s attention in another way. Alternate translation: [look] or [suddenly]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

The expression having stretched out his hand contains extra information that might be unnatural to express in some languages. If this is true of your language, you could shorten the expression. Alternate translation: [one of the ones with Jesus drew his sword]

Matthew uses this phrase to bring one of the characters in the story into the center of the action, but he does not identify the person by name. John indicates in his Gospel that it was Peter, but since Matthew does not name him here, it would not be appropriate to use his name in your translation. If your language has its own way of introducing new participants, you could use it here in your translation. Alternate translation: [one of the disciples who was with Jesus came forward and]
