OET (OET-LV) And one scribe having_approached, said to_him:
Teacher, I_will_be_following after_you wherever if you_may_be_going_away.

OET (OET-RV) One of the religious teachers came up to Yeshua and told him, “Teacher, I’ll follow you wherever you go.”

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 8:18–22: The cost of following Jesus

In this section two people told Jesus they wanted to follow him. He replied with two sayings that indicate that being his disciple is difficult.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

To follow Jesus is difficult/hard

Two people who wanted to follow Jesus

8:19a

And one of the scribes came to Him and said,

And: Before Jesus and his disciples got into the boat to go across the lake, two men came and spoke to him (8:19, 21). In this verse, you may want to indicate that Jesus and the disciples did not yet cross the lake. For example:

But before they left,

one of the scribes: The Greek word that the BSB translates as one of the scribes refers to a man who studied, interpreted, and taught the Law of Moses. Such men were called scribes because their original work was to copy the laws of Moses by hand. In New Testament times, this was no longer their main task.

Here are some other ways to translate this term:

A teacher of the Law of Moses (CEV)

one of the teachers of religious law (NLT)

a teacher of the law (NIV)

an expert in the law

See how you translated this expression in 2:4a or 7:29b. See also scribe in the Glossary for more information.

8:19b

“Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.”

Teacher: Here, the word Teacher refers to a religious teacher. It was a polite title for a Jewish man who had authority to teach the things about God. Use a title that is an appropriate way to address a religious teacher in your culture. It should not refer only to a school teacher.

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

Sir

Master

I will follow You: The teacher used the verb follow in both a literal and a figurative sense. He meant that he wanted to go with Jesus, and he wanted to be a disciple of Jesus. A disciple usually traveled with his teacher, lived with him, and learned from him.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

I will follow you as your disciple

I want to follow you and be your disciple

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

καὶ προσελθὼν, εἷς γραμματεὺς

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί προσελθών εἱς γραμματεύς εἶπεν αὐτῷ Διδάσκαλε ἀκολουθήσω σοί ὅπου ἐάν ἀπέρχῃ)

Matthew implies that Jesus and the disciples have not yet gotten into a boat to cross over to the other side of the Sea of Galilee. He says that they get into the boat in [8:23](../08/23.md). If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit here. Alternate translation: [And before they departed to the other side, a scribe approached and]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἀκολουθήσω σοι ὅπου ἐὰν ἀπέρχῃ

˱I˲_˓will_be˒_following (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί προσελθών εἱς γραμματεύς εἶπεν αὐτῷ Διδάσκαλε ἀκολουθήσω σοί ὅπου ἐάν ἀπέρχῃ)

Here, the clause I will follow you indicates that the scribe wishes to travel with Jesus and be his disciple. The phrase wherever you go indicates that he wishes to be Jesus’ disciple no matter what Jesus does or where he goes. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I will become your faithful disciple] or [I will travel with you as your student wherever you go]

OET (OET-RV) One of the religious teachers came up to Yeshua and told him, “Teacher, I’ll follow you wherever you go.”

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.
