OET interlinear MAT 26:58

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-time-simultaneous

δὲ

but

Here, the word But introduces something that was happening at the same time as what Matthew narrated in the previous verse (Jesus being led to the house of Caiaphas). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a simultaneous action, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: “Meanwhile,” or “While that was happening,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὁ δὲ Πέτρος ἠκολούθει αὐτῷ ἀπὸ μακρόθεν

¬the but Peter /was/_following ˱after˲_him from afar

Here Matthew implies that Peter followed from a distance because he did not want anyone to see him and arrest him too. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “But Peter, because he did not want to be seen and arrested, was following him from a distance. He went”

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

τῶν ὑπηρετῶν

the attendants

Here, the word officers refers to servants and attendants in general. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that generally refers to servants and any others who do what they are told. Alternate translation: “the attendants” or “those who served there”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸ τέλος

the outcome

Here, the word end refers to the outcome or result of what was happening to Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “the outcome” or “the result of what was happening”
