OET interlinear MAT 8:10

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐθαύμασεν

marveled

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. Alternate translation: [marveled]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

ὑμῖν

˱to˲_you_all

Here, the word you is plural because Jesus is speaking to everyone who follows him.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

παρ’ οὐδενὶ τοσαύτην πίστιν ἐν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ εὗρον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀκούσας Δέ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐθαύμασεν καί εἶπεν τοῖς ἀκολουθοῦσιν Ἀμήν λέγω ὑμῖν πάρʼ οὐδενί τοσαύτην πίστιν ἐν τῷ Ἰσραήλ εὗρον)

Jesus implies that he expected Jewish people to have this kind of faith, but they did not. He did not expect Gentiles to have this kind of faith, yet this man did. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [I have found no one in Israel, a people who should trust me, who trusts me as much as this Gentile does]

Note 4 topic: translate-textvariants

παρ’ οὐδενὶ τοσαύτην πίστιν ἐν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ εὗρον

Many ancient manuscripts read I have found such great faith from no one in Israel. The ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts read “not even in Israel have I found such great faith.” If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

εὗρον

˱I˲_found

Here, the word found represents experiencing or observing something. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I have experienced] or [I have observed]

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of faith, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [no one in Israel who believes so much]
