OET interlinear MARK 10:24

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

οἱ & μαθηταὶ ἐθαμβοῦντο ἐπὶ τοῖς λόγοις αὐτοῦ

the & disciples /were_being/_amazed at the words ˱of˲_him

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 what did the action, it is clear from the context that it was Jesus’ words. Alternate translation: [his words astonished the disciples]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀποκριθεὶς

answering

Here, the word answering indicates that Jesus is responding to how the disciples reacted to what he had said. He is not responding to something that they said to him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [responding to their astonishment] or [in response]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τέκνα

children

Here Jesus calls his disciples Children to indicate that they are under his spiritual care and that he cares for them. The disciples were not actually Jesus’ children. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form of address that a teacher or leader would use for the people whom that person teaches or leads. Alternate translation: [My dear disciples] or [Young men]

Note 4 topic: translate-textvariants

ἐστιν & εἰσελθεῖν

˱it˲_is & /to/_come_in

Many ancient manuscripts read it is to enter. The ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts read “it is for the ones trusting in riches to enter.” 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.
