OET interlinear MARK 14:1

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-background

δὲ

and

Mark uses the word Now to introduce background information that will help readers understand what happens next in the story. Use a natural way in your language for introducing background information. Alternate translation: “Meanwhile,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸ Πάσχα καὶ τὰ Ἄζυμα

the Passover and ¬the Unleavened_‹Bread›

Here Mark’s readers would have known that the Passover was a festival that took place on the first day of the week-long celebration named the Festival of Unleavened Bread, so Mark speaks of the two as one event. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the Passover,” or “the Passover, the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread,”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐν δόλῳ

by deceit

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of deceit, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “deceitfully” or “cleverly”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀποκτείνωσιν

˱they˲_/may/_kill_off_‹him›

Here Mark implies that the chief priests and elders would have other people kill Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “they might have him killed”
