OET (OET-RV) As Yeshua came up out of the water after being immersed, the sky was opened up and he saw God’s spirit coming down like a dove and landing on him.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 3:13–17: John baptized Jesus

In this section, Jesus came to John the Baptist and asked John to baptize him. John thought that the man who was greater (Jesus) should baptize the man who was not as great (John). This is why John at first did not think that it was right for him to baptize Jesus. But Jesus said that it was the right thing at that time. So John agreed to do it.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

The Baptism of Jesus (NIV)

Jesus is Baptized by John (NCV)

John baptizes Jesus (GW)

There are parallel passages for this section in Mark 1:9–11 and Luke 3:21–22.

3:16a

As soon as Jesus was baptized, He went up out of the water.

As soon as: The phrase As soon as here means “immediately” or “without waiting.”

Here are some ways to connect this phrase to the rest of the sentence:

Jesus was baptized: The Greek verb that the BSB translates as was baptized is passive. Here are some other ways to translate this verb:

It is clear from the context that John baptized Jesus. It is not clear what the form of baptism was like. You should translate this word in the same way that you did previously in this chapter (3:6b, 3:11, 3:13, and 3:14).

He went up out of the water: The Greek word that the BSB translates as went up can also means “came up” (as in the GNT). In this context, it means that “Jesus came out of the river.” Jesus had stepped down into the river in order to be baptized. This word indicates that he returned to the edge of the river and stepped onto dry land.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

he walked out of the water

he exited the river

3:16b

Suddenly the heavens were opened,

Suddenly: The Greek word that the BSB translates as Suddenly is often translated as “behold.” It literally means “look” or “see.” This word brings attention to the words that follow. This word is often used when something unexpected and extraordinary happens. In this passage, heaven opened and the Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus.

If you have a term that gets the attention of people, you may want to use it here. Here are some English examples:

and behold (ESV)

Unexpectedly

Look!

the heavens were opened: There is a textual issue in this verse. In some Greek manuscripts, this clause includes a Greek word that means “to him.”

  1. Many Greek manuscripts do not have this Greek word, and most English versions do not translate this word. For example:

    the heavens were opened (RSV) (BSB, RSV, NJB, NIV, NASB, CEV, GW, NET, NLT, REB, NCV, JBP)

  2. Some Greek manuscripts have the word that can be translated “to him” after “heaven was opened.” For example:

    Then heaven was opened to him (GNT) (GNT, KJV, ESV, NRSV)

It is recommended that you follow option (1) as the majority of English versions do.

heavens: The word that the BSB translates as heavens can have two different meanings, depending on the context:

  1. the place where God lives

  2. the sky: the place where the sun, moon, and stars can be seen

In the New Testament, God often showed supernatural signs from the sky. Some signs were a voice, fire, and a bright light. In this verse, either the meaning “heaven” or “sky” would fit the context: The Holy Spirit came down like a dove and God’s voice came from heaven or the sky.

were opened: The Greek verb that the BSB translates as were opened is passive. Here are some other ways to translate this verb:

This phrase illustrates heaven opening like a door or curtain is opened.

3:16c

and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove

He saw: The pronoun He refers to Jesus here.

the Spirit of God: The Spirit of God refers to the Holy Spirit.

See the note on “the Holy Spirit” at 1:18d, and consider how you translated 1:18.

descending like a dove: There are two ways to interpret the phrase that the BSB translates as descending like a dove:

  1. The Spirit of God took the bodily form of a dove and came down on Jesus.

  2. The Spirit of God came down upon Jesus in the same way that a dove would fly down. God’s Spirit took some bodily form, but it was not necessarily the form of a dove.

It is recommended that you follow interpretation (1). Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

coming down in the form of a dove

flying down in the shape of a dove

dove: A dove is a small, gentle bird. It is like a pigeon. It symbolized something that is gentle and peaceful. There are at least two ways to translate this word:

3:16d

and resting on Him.

and resting on Him: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as and resting on Him is literally “coming upon him.” The text does not indicate exactly where on Jesus the dove landed. So you should not specify that it was on his head or his shoulder.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

coming down on him (NJB)

landing on him

descending to him

sat/perched on him

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: βαπτισθείς Δέ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εὐθύς ἀνέβη ἀπό τοῦ ὕδατος καί ἰδού ἀνεῴχθησαν οἱ οὐρανοί καί εἶδεν τό Πνεῦμα τοῦ Θεοῦ καταβαῖνον ὡσεί περιστεράν καί ἐρχόμενον ἐπʼ αὐτόν)

Here, the word Now introduces the next event in the story. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next event, or you could leave Now untranslated. Alternate translation: [Then,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

βαπτισθεὶς

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: βαπτισθείς Δέ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εὐθύς ἀνέβη ἀπό τοῦ ὕδατος καί ἰδού ἀνεῴχθησαν οἱ οὐρανοί καί εἶδεν τό Πνεῦμα τοῦ Θεοῦ καταβαῖνον ὡσεί περιστεράν καί ἐρχόμενον ἐπʼ αὐτόν)

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 did the action, it is clear from the context that it was John. Alternate translation: [John having baptized him]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

Matthew implies that Jesus was in the River Jordan when he was baptized. Afterwards, he came up out of the river. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [left the water of the river] or [stepped out of the river]

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: [listen] or [suddenly]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

People in Matthew’s culture often spoke of how the heavens had doors or gates that led into them. Matthew uses this kind of language (doors being opened) to indicate that Jesus saw into the heavens. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [he was enabled to look into the heavens] or [God showed him what was happening in the heavens]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

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 did the action, it is clear from the context that it was God. Alternate translation: [God opened the heavens to him]

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: βαπτισθείς Δέ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εὐθύς ἀνέβη ἀπό τοῦ ὕδατος καί ἰδού ἀνεῴχθησαν οἱ οὐρανοί καί εἶδεν τό Πνεῦμα τοῦ Θεοῦ καταβαῖνον ὡσεί περιστεράν καί ἐρχόμενον ἐπʼ αὐτόν)

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐρχόμενον ἐπ’ αὐτόν

coming on him

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

3:16 The Spirit of God descending like a dove was anointing Jesus, through whom salvation would come. This event was like a king’s being anointed with oil at his coronation. The Holy Spirit empowered Jesus to accomplish God’s salvation and defeat Satan (see 12:18, 28). This same Spirit empowers Jesus’ followers (10:20; Acts 1:8).

OET (OET-LV) And having_been_immersed, the Yaʸsous immediately went_up from the water, and see, the heavens were_opened_up, and he_saw the spirit of_ the _god coming_down as_if a_dove and coming on him.

OET (OET-RV) As Yeshua came up out of the water after being immersed, the sky was opened up and he saw God’s spirit coming down like a dove and landing on him.

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

Acknowledgements: The SR Greek text, lemmas, morphology, and VLT gloss are all thanks to the CNTR.
