OET interlinear MAT 27:55

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-background

δὲ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἦσαν Δέ ἐκεῖ γυναῖκες πολλαί ἀπό μακρόθεν θεωροῦσαι αἵτινες ἠκολούθησαν τῷ Ἰησοῦ ἀπό τῆς Γαλιλαίας διακονοῦσαι αὐτῷ)

Matthew uses the word Now to introduce background information that will help readers understand what happens later in the story. The word does not introduce the next event in the story. Use a natural form in your language for introducing background information. Alternate translation: [Meanwhile,] or [During all those things,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἠκολούθησαν τῷ Ἰησοῦ

followed ¬the ˱after˲_Jesus

The phrase followed Jesus could indicate that: (1) the women had traveled with Jesus and were his disciples. Alternate translation: [traveled with Jesus as his students]; (2) the women walked with Jesus on the road. Alternate translation: [walked with Jesus] or [went with Jesus]
